Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two basic designs: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly with surrounding walls. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and can be more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most efficient electric media wall fireplaces, like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are easy to set up and don't require an opening in the wall as they're not recessed into it. There are models that come with a variety of trims and finishes that can be customised to your decor. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces, as they'll likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.

An electric fire can make the perfect finishing touch to a media wall, creating a mesmerising focal feature that is enjoyable to be seated in front of. These modern fires are packed with modern features that can make your home more attractive. They have a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling feature for cool summer nights.
A media wall is an space to your entertainment system, usually with a TV and sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other devices that you frequently use. This is a modern twist on the old entertainment centres and can provide an elegant, well-organized look while also letting more space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be mounted on the wall, and based on the design, they can be inset or freestanding. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted in a fireplace opening. This makes them much easier to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have an opening in the fireplace. They can be moved from room to room for flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you choose, you should always place the fire near a power socket to ensure that you are able to plug in the device and test it before fitting. According to the regulations, you'll want to keep the fire away from flammable material.
Remember that most electric fireplaces for wall use have a limited output of heat and are best utilized to complement your central heating system. They're not suitable for heating large spaces that are open and will only make a difference in the chill of a room. Some models come with a handy remote control that has several heat settings and backlighting options to suit your mood and the ambience.
