I Turned My Basement Into a Home Theater | DIY Star Ceiling + Room Makeover

Transforming a dusty spare room into a full-blown home movie theater? Challenge accepted.

In this DIY home theater build, I take you behind the scenes of turning our unused basement room into a cozy, cinematic escape — complete with a custom starfield ceiling, hunter green walls, and a surround sound system (all using FREE equipment left by the previous owners!).

Whether you're a home improvement junkie, a movie lover, or someone just curious about building your own theater setup on a budget, this project shows what’s possible with a bit of elbow grease and creativity.

▶️ In this video you'll see:

• The full room transformation from spare room to theater
• How I designed and built a DIY fiber optic star ceiling
• My painting and prep tips for getting that classic theater feel
• How I mounted posters and set up the surround sound system
• The gear I inherited for free (and how I made it all work!)
• Final walkthrough + cinematic tour of the completed room

🎥 Shot with time-lapse, voiceover, and lots of practical tips.

This was a true passion project and I hope it inspires your own.
