Custom Home Theater Design — Crafted Without Compromise
Home Theater Design at 3-D Squared starts where every other firm stops.
We don't apply a template to your room — we build a fully custom cinematic environment around your space, your taste, and the experience you want to achieve. Over hundreds of projects across the country, we've learned that the greatest home theater designs share one thing: every decision, from acoustic panel placement to the art on the walls, was made with intention.
Our founder, Glen Hoffman, is an artist and theater designer. Our Senior Project Manager, Abe Rasoulian, brings more hands-on home theater expertise than virtually anyone in the industry. Together, our team has intimately worked on over 500 custom theaters across the country — from intimate media rooms to dedicated screening rooms with full acoustic treatment, professional-grade A/V systems, and one-of-a-kind interior designs built around your taste.
Every theater design is carefully planned to seamlessly fit into your unique space. No templates. No shortcuts.

We begin each project by having an in-depth conversation with our clients. We are committed to listening, collaborating, and transforming your aspirations into a living reality—one that reflects your unique tastes and style.
Our team of dedicated experts will guide you at every step, from initial design and layout to the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology. We believe that every detail matters—whether it's the architecture that shapes your escape, the acoustics that immerse you in sound, or the plush seating that invites you to stay for just one more scene.

Art Deco Home Theater Design - Midway Theater
This project has been called one of the finest home theaters in the country — and it's easy to understand why. Built from an empty room up, the Midway Theater is a fully realized Art Deco cinema, complete with custom acoustic panels, period-correct architectural detailing, and a lighting design that transforms the room with the touch of a button. Every element — from the chair rail profiles to the soffit geometry — was engineered to serve both the aesthetic and the acoustic performance of the space. Watch the full transformation video above.
Midway Theater
When a client's space demands more than a standard panel layout, we design to fill it. This variation on our Gatsby Art Deco concept incorporates complementary artistic sections beneath the chair rail and along the soffit — ensuring visual continuity at scale without repetition. The result is a theater that feels both grand and considered, occupying its room with authority.
Midway Theater
When designing a Home Theater that contains a series of a single panel design, we usually suggest using different art on the rear wall. In this case we customized a Hollywood themed mural that we had created for another project. This eliminates any redundancy in the room, while greatly enhancing the cinematic ambience of the theater.
Modern Beach Locale-Inspired Home Theater Design
The client's home sits minutes from the water, and he wanted his theater to carry that sensibility — modern and refined, with a warmth that nods to the coast without announcing it. The blue and gold palette, soft material textures, and layered lighting achieve exactly that: a space that feels personal without being literal. A theater that rewards the room it lives in.
Home Theater Design Featuring Movie Posters Long Project
Designed with full variable-color LED systems integrated behind every panel and within each architectural column, this theater doesn't have a fixed identity — it has several. Shift the lighting from deep red to cool blue and the entire personality of the room transforms. It's a technically sophisticated solution to a deceptively simple brief: build a theater that never gets old.
Steam Punk Themed Home Theater Design with Custom Bar
Every piece of art on these panels was created in-house, designed specifically to capture the atmospheric world of the Steam Punk video game Bioshock. The brief demanded fidelity to the source material while functioning as serious acoustic treatment — a balance that required both artistic skill and acoustic engineering. The custom columns, millwork, and the separate bar area opposite the screen make this one of our most technically and artistically complex builds to date.
Custom Home Theater Bar Design For Willams Project
Here are some additional images from this fantastic theater. The first image shows the custom columns and molding we created for room. The second image shows the stunning bar area we created opposite of the theater.
Traditional Theater Design - Ashby Project
For clients who want their theater to feel like it has always been there — a room of heritage and permanence — our Traditional design approach delivers. Rich jewel-toned fabrics, Damask acoustic panels, and layered architectural details create an old-world environment that happens to contain world-class audio performance.
Modern Geometric Home Theater Design - Patel Project
Geometric variety in acoustic panel shape and scale creates something that a uniform grid never can: a room that reads as dynamic from every seat. This theater uses panels of varied proportion and angle to generate visual depth and acoustic effectiveness simultaneously — a design solution that earns its sophistication.
Celestial Home Theater Design - "M" Project
A custom panoramic mural combining imagery of the Milky Way, deep-field galaxies, and star clusters wraps the walls of this theater, creating a sense of scale that makes every film feel like an event. Space themes are among the most technically demanding we execute — precise color calibration and panel placement are critical to preventing the mural from degrading under screen light.

Home Theater Designs Featuring Movie Poster Acoustic Panels

Rustic Home Theater Design - Kaye Project
Incorporating an existing bronze fireplace into a theater design is a challenge most designers would route around. We built toward it. The result is a modern country aesthetic that treats the fireplace as the architectural anchor it deserves to be — a theater that works because of its constraints, not in spite of them.
Home Theater Designs Featuring Martini & Wine Themes
Your media room gives provide an amazing opportunity to create an immersive room dedicated to your passion hobby or interest. In these examples, wine and martinis flow freely throughout the theater.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a custom home theater design cost?
Our projects typically begin at $70,000 for a dedicated home theater with professional acoustic treatment, quality tiered seating, high-end A/V equipment, and a custom interior design developed and installed by our team. Projects with larger rooms, more complex acoustic environments, premium equipment packages, or highly detailed custom artwork and millwork range from $150,000 to $400,000 and above. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed scope and investment range before any commitment is made.
Q: How long does the process take?
The design phase typically runs two to four weeks from your initial consultation, depending on project complexity and revision cycles. Manufacturing and installation timelines vary by scope, but most projects are completed within six to twelve weeks of design approval. We'll provide a detailed schedule at the start of your project — and we hold to it.
Q: Do you work outside Florida and Georgia?
Yes. Our primary teams operate out of Boca Raton, FL and Atlanta, GA, but we regularly serve clients nationwide. Depending on your confidence in working with local contractors for specific scopes, we can provide full-service turnkey delivery or design-and-specification services that your local team executes under our guidance.
Q: What makes 3-D Squared different from other home theater designers?
First, our founder is a fine artist — the original designs on our acoustic panels are created specifically for each project, not sourced from a catalog. Second, our team has been doing this for over 25 years , across more than 500 projects. We've solved problems most designers haven't encountered yet. Third, for many companies "Customer Service" is merely a marketing term. Here at 3-D Squared, we do our best to treat you the way we would expect to be treated...with respect, timeliness and courtesy.
Q: Can you work around existing architectural features in my space?
It's one of our specialties. Existing fireplaces, columns, irregular room geometry, low ceilings, pre-installed equipment — these are the constraints that define a great design challenge. We begin every project by understanding exactly what your space presents, and we build the solution around those realities rather than asking you to work around ours.
Q: Do your acoustic panels actually improve sound quality?
Significantly. Our fabric-wrapped panels use professional-grade absorption and diffusion materials engineered to address the primary acoustic problems in home theater environments: flutter echo, bass frequency buildup, and ambient noise. Panel placement is designed for acoustic effectiveness first — the aesthetic result follows from that discipline. Most clients notice an immediate, measurable improvement in dialogue clarity, bass control, and soundstage width from the moment the system is calibrated.
Client Testimonials
"Glen and his team transformed a room into an experience. His knowledge of acoustic design and his eye for detail are extraordinary — and he was patient and thoughtful at every stage of the process. The panels are beautiful. The theater is something our family uses every single day."
Donna Mead
On our Art Deco home theater design:
"We used 3-D Squared for a full theater build in our home. The professionalism throughout the entire process was exactly what we needed — clear communication, no surprises, and a final result that exceeded what we had imagined. Everything turned out perfect."
Walter Steininger
On our full-service home theater design process
"We've made multiple orders from 3D Squared. Each order has arrived completely intact, on time, and as we'd requested. The quality of workmanship really shows when it comes time to mount the panels. One measurement works for all panels as the hardware is placed in exactly the same spot. I mounted six panels in under an hour, and that was only because I had to make sure my marks on the wall were as accurate as their hardware. Well worth every penny; we'll be back again."
