Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall, offering a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening already in place and can be more expensive than freestanding counterparts.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Because they aren't set into the wall, they don't need an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to install. There are models that come with a variety of trims and finishes that can be customised to your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not work for all styles of rooms. They can also restrict the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.

Most modern electric fires for media walls are mounted to the wall and are either freestanding or inset based on the design you pick. An inset fire is designed to be inserted partially into a fireplace opening, which makes it easier to install and looks more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room-to-room for flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you choose, always put the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure you can plug in the device and test it before fitting. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from flammable materials, as per regulations.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for wall use provide a low output of heat, and are best used to supplement your central heating system.

Some models include a handy remote that has multiple options for backlighting and heat settings to match your mood or the ambience.
