If you love to entertain, then a great entertainment center is a must. Whether you host game nights at your house, invite friends to binge your favorite show, or your children have regular sleepovers, a top-notch entertainment center elevates the experience. Here are seven features to make an ultimate entertainment center you and your guests are sure to enjoy.

1. Adjustable TV Mount

Let’s face it, tastes and technology change over time. So if you’re going to invest in a custom-built entertainment center, one of the best features you can include is an adjustable TV mount. That’s because it allows your entertainment center to grow with you. Consequently, your entertainment center will work just as well for your next TV as it does for the one you currently have.

2. Built-In Bookcases

Built-in bookcases give your entertainment center an elegant appearance. They also provide the perfect way to display favorite photos, knick knacks, and novels, or to organize your media. Don’t forget to combine your bookcases with bottom cabinets if you’d like out-of-sight storage for less attractive items, too.

3. Cable Organization and Storage

Speaking of stowing away unsightly items, you’ll definitely want to add cable organization and storage to your custom entertainment center. After all, nothing looks worse than a jumble of tangled cables! It instantly ruins the look of your entertainment center and is distracting to guests. With built-in cable organization and storage, however, your cords and cables will be neatly organized and tucked out of sight. But don’t worry, they’re still easily accessible so you can reach them when necessary.

4. Accessory Storage

Along the same lines, accessory storage is a wonderful feature to include. It helps keep all your accessories easily accessible but out of sight when you’re not using them. This feature is perfect if your family is always losing remotes and controllers. Instead of having controllers strewn all over the room and remotes jammed between the sofa cushions, you’ll have a designated space to store them. As a result, you won’t have to search all over the house every time you want to use your TV or consoles!

5. Fitted Fireplace

Having an entertainment center in the same room as your fireplace often results in awkward placements. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to fit a prefabricated entertainment center around a fireplace, so many people end up with it awkwardly stuck in a corner. Fortunately, with a fitted fireplace entertainment center, that’s no longer a problem. We’ll build your entertainment center around your fireplace, so you can enjoy your fireplace and your TV at the same time. Can you think of anything more inviting on a cold winter’s day?

6. Glass Display Doors

If you have items you’d like to display but don’t quite trust leaving out in the open, glass display doors are a perfect solution. They’re an attractive way to protect valuable items. And they’re also great for keeping dust off your components. Plus, if you have components that use infrared remotes, glass display doors are indispensable. Without them, you’ll need to store your components on a shelf instead.

7. Speaker Stands

If you’ve invested in a high-quality audio system, you don’t want to be hampered by an entertainment center that prevents you from using it to the best of its ability. Thankfully, you can put your speakers exactly where you need them with custom-built speaker stands. Just imagine how incredible your next party or movie night will be!
