New Orleans Elite Cabinets provides professional entertainment centers & media walls in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans. Entertainment centers and media walls are the built-in most likely to be designed around a television that will be replaced in four years, which is the one mistake worth planning against. We build media walls that hide the equipment, handle the heat and cabling properly, and are dimensioned so the next screen still fits without a rebuild.
Start with the screen. Televisions keep getting larger and thinner, so we size the opening generously and design a surround that reads deliberate whether the screen fills it or floats inside it. Recessing a TV into a tight niche looks sharp and dates fast, so unless there is a strong reason we prefer a flush wall mount with shelving and a surround built around it. Mounting means blocking in the wall, an outlet and low-voltage plate placed behind the screen where the cables vanish, and a conduit chase down to the component cabinet so the next upgrade does not mean opening plaster.
Heat is the technical problem everyone underestimates. An AV receiver in a sealed box will cook itself, and in a room already fighting a Gulf Coast afternoon it happens sooner. Component cabinets get rear cutouts and, where the equipment load justifies it, a thermostatically controlled fan. Doors over components can be perforated metal, glass with a deliberate gap, or IR-transparent smoked acrylic so remotes still work with everything closed. Adjustable shelves on full-depth standards let a component stack change without carpentry.
Around the screen the design gets to be enjoyable. Open display shelving with LED strip lighting, glass-front cabinets for the record collection, deep closed bases for the things nobody needs to look at, a drawer sized for controllers and remotes with an outlet inside for charging, and a soundbar shelf at a height that does not fire the centre channel into a cabinet face. Where there is a fireplace we integrate it, respecting the clearances the appliance specifies and using materials rated for the heat zone.
In older houses the wall itself is the constraint. A media wall in a raised house often sits on a floor with a noticeable slope, so the case gets shimmed and the toe kick tapered rather than leaving a wedge of light along the baseboard. In a shotgun or a camelback where the living room is 12 feet wide, a shallow 14-inch depth with a floating console reads better than a full 24-inch cabinet run that eats the walkway.
Game rooms and home theatres get the same treatment with a snack station or a small bar cabinet worked in. Finishes usually match the room's other millwork, and painted doors get conversion varnish, because these are the doors opened every single evening for the next decade.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — moisture-resistant plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, framed and frameless European construction, catalyzed conversion varnish — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Marrero, Terrytown.

Materials, equipment and how we do entertainment centers & media walls
The difference between entertainment centers & media walls that lasts and entertainment centers & media walls that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with moisture-resistant plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of cabinet work in Greater New Orleans means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
