Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires come in two main styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer a smooth finish, blends into the walls surrounding it to create a neat appearance. However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and are a little more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective electric media wall fires like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. They are easy to install and don't require an opening in the wall since they aren't recessed into the wall. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires, with some models offering a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms. They also can hinder air flow in smaller rooms since they are likely to disperse heat upwards instead of across the room.

A media wall is an area specifically designed for your entertainment setup. It could include the TV, sound system or other gadgets that you frequently use. This kind of space is a modern response to the traditional entertainment centres of the past. It can give a sleek and organised aesthetic while also making floor space available in the room.
Most modern electric fireplaces for media walls are fixed to the wall and are either freestanding or inset based on the design you choose. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into the opening of a fireplace which makes it much easier to install and can look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can be moved between rooms to make it more flexible.
No matter which installation method you decide to use, always place the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure you can connect the device to test it before fitting. You'll also want to locate the fire away from combustible substances, as per the regulations.

They are not suited to heat large open spaces, and can only warm the room. Some models come with a handy remote that has multiple options for backlighting and heat settings to suit your mood or atmosphere.
