I would say…
1- Paint the walls a rich, metallic red
2- Paint the trim the cherry chocolate like the bar
3- I would even suggest a gold for the ceiling, it will make the red stand out and if it were metallic it will look really cosy.
4- Furniture dark chocolate tub chairs like a chesterfield style. A sectional would be great if you got them in a thick corduroy like fabric and them you could use cushions and a couple of fluffy or wool throws and a jaw dropping floor lamp. Co-ordinate patterned, plain and textured elements into the room and you should be good to go
Have fun, I’m so jealous!!!
I would paint the walls a mauve-ish brown. (Kind of a cocoa with a HINT of rosy pink that would compliment the cherry wood) If you have good wood trim, of course stain it to match the bar, otherwise I believe the trim and ceiling should match. White is fine, but not a white-white. Pick a white with the hues of your wall color.
Furniture is a problem to pick since we do not know that layout of the room, but a sectional sounds good as long as the focal point (the screen) can be viewed well from all angles.
Good luck!!
Decorating rooms are my favorite. It depends a little if you want the room rather light or darker. I prefer as much light as possible and always choose a main color which covers walls & ceiling or ceiling & floor and is also found in parts of the furniture, the carpet etc.
If you do it that way, everything in the room will come together instead of fall apart. It´s like in a painting, all the colors are related to each other with gradual difference. Then the room will tolerate a strong contrast
in furniture even.
Hope you understand what I mean!

My suggestions are to use a mocha type color for the wall and even the ceiling.
Hot Cocoa sw6047
Tan Bark sw6061 (favorite)
Mocha sw6067
What ever your choice is I would paint your trim a few shades lighter. For example:
Wall color – Tanbark sw6061
Trim color – Interface Tan sw6059 or Likeable Sand sw6058
All these colors are from Sherwin Williams.
I suggest painting your ceiling the same color of your walls forthe simple fact that it’s a theater room. Also, I wouldn’t use a very glossy paint; maybe an eggshell.
A sectional is a good choice maybe a redish or maroonish color.
