The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking for a way to bring warmth, atmosphere and a focal point on your wall of media, then you should consider an electric fireplace. Most electric fireplaces use LED lights to create dazzling fire effects. They also have lower heat output compared to traditional fireplaces.
These devices also have features like open window detection, ambient lighting kits and music synchronization.

Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall. They offer a smooth finish, blending in with the wall for a sleek appearance. However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to set up and don't require an opening in the wall since they aren't recessed into the wall. There are models that come with a variety of finishes and trims that can be customised to match your decor. Despite this wall-hung models may protrude slightly from the wall, so they may not be suitable for all room designs. They also can hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces because they'll likely disperse the heat upwards rather than across the space.

This is a modern twist on the traditional entertainment centers and can give an elegant, organized look while allowing space to be freed up in the room.
Modern electric fires for media walls are mounted to the wall and are either freestanding or inset based on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into a fireplace opening, which makes it easier to install and look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who don't have a fireplace recess. They can be moved from room to room to allow for greater flexibility.
Regardless of the installation method you select, always ensure the fire is situated near a power outlet so that you can connect it and test its functions prior to installing. In accordance with the regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from flammable materials.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls provide only a small amount of heat output and are best used as an additional source of heat to your central heating systems. They're not suitable for heating large, open spaces and will only take the edge off the chill of a room. Some models include a handy remote with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or ambience.
