Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two most popular styles. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer an elegant flush finish, blends into the surrounding walls to create a neat appearance. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an existing opening.
The most effective electric media wall fires, like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. Since they don't sit set into the wall, they don't need an opening that already exists and are relatively cheap to set up. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires, with some models featuring an array of designs and trims to fit your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely spread heat upwards instead of across the room.

A media wall is an space to your entertainment setup, usually with a sound and TV system, but it could also include gaming consoles and other devices that you frequently use.

Most modern electric fireplaces for media walls are mounted to the wall and are either inset or freestanding depending on the design you choose. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially into the fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install, and they are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can be moved from room-to-room to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is situated close to a power socket so that you can connect it to the power source and test the functions prior to fitting. According to the guidelines, you'll need to keep the fire away from any combustible materials.
Keep in mind that the majority of electric fires for media walls provide an insignificant amount of heat and are best used to add supplementary heating to your central heating systems. They're not suited for heating large, open spaces and will only help to cool the chill of a room. Some models include a handy remote that has multiple heat settings and backlighting choices to suit your mood or atmosphere.
