George and Amal submitted plans to their council for a 12-seater home cinema . They 're newlyweds settling down in their dream home , and this weekend it was reported that George and Amal Clooney have submitted plans to improve their £10million Berkshire mansion - which include the addition of a 12-seater cinema . While this may seem extravagant , according to industry experts , a cinema room is now an 'expected ' luxury in properties worth over £10million . Robert Osborn , co-founding director of top luxury property developer Consero London explained : 'Home cinemas are a growing requirement , particularly for brand new or newly refurbished properties . ' 'At the high level , media rooms are a valuable use of space and are expected , particularly in homes priced above £10 million . We also often include pantries or bars as an addition to support the media room . ' As extravagant as it may seem , home cinemas are often a clever investment as they make use of low value space in the dark basement . Property insider , Ben Hubbard , an asset manager at OracleAMG explains : 'Cinemas are often situated in the basement of a dwelling because there is no need for natural light . ' Ben estimates that cinemas can cost anything from a few thousand to £100,000 to kit out and says : 'Home cinemas can vary from a converted surplus bedroom within an average sized dwelling to a 30-seater theatre in the basement of a much larger home . 'There 's a vast difference in the set-up costs depending on how far you want to go , ' he said . Ben believes that the home cinema trend is growing , and having a dedicated cinema room is becoming 'important ' in high-end properties . But does it ever reap financial rewards when it comes to selling ? 'If one was to spend fortunes investing in a cinema equipment for an average sized family home - the chances are it will not add any value to the house as a majority of the purchasers will have different uses for that room , ' Ben said . Scroll down for video . The couple 's £10m Grade-II listed Berkshire abode , which will undergo renovations including the addition of a home cinema and swimming pool . This Surrey screening room has velvet seats and inset lighting - perfect inspiration for the Clooney in-house cinema complex . 'At the other end of the scale the more space the dwelling has the more likely you ’ re going to expect to see a cinema room and therefore the more value it will add . Generally though it adds saleability factor rather than actual value . 'Set-ups can range from large plasma TVs with off-the-shelf surround sound systems in a darkened rooms to tiered theatres with cinema quality digital projectors . 'High-end cinemas will have been constructed to consider the rest of the house and can be soundproofed to prevent noise problems occurring elsewhere , which also increases the cost . ' All apartments in the super-prime development in One Hyde Park have access to this amazing home cinema . A three-bedroom apartment is currently on the letting market with Tunstall Property at ... £17,000 per week . Knowing how hard renovations can be we thought we 'd give the Clooneys some inspiration on how to kit out their new entertainment room . As these images show the home cinema is generally of a neutral hue with warm wood finishes to give it that authentic feel . But it 's not only interior decisions George and Amal will have to grapple with , questions involving audiophile speakers , sub woofers , heat management systems and aerospace grade mirrors ( for the projector , not Amal ) will also have to be discussed at length . The Clooneys renovation plans also include upgrades to the library , gym , spa , steam room , wine cellar , boat house as well as a new swimming pool , pool house and grand terrace .
