Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are available in two basic styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall. They offer an elegant flush finish, merging into the wall to create a neat appearance. However, fire media wall require an opening already in place and are a little more expensive than freestanding counterparts.
The most efficient electric media wall fires, like the Hall and Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. Since they don't sit set into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to put up. They are more adaptable than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering an array of trims and finishes to suit your style. Despite this wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, meaning they're not suitable for all rooms. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller spaces because they tend to disperse heat upwards instead of across the room.

A media wall is an area that is dedicated to your entertainment system. It may include an audio system, TV or other devices that you use frequently. This type of space is a contemporary response to the entertainment centers of the past. They can give a sleek and organised aesthetic while also freeing up floor space in the room.
The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are fixed to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset depending on the design you pick. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into a fireplace opening which makes it much easier to install and look more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved between rooms to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter which installation method you decide to use, always put the fire in proximity to the power outlet to ensure that you are able to plug in the device and test it prior to fitting. It is also important to place the fire away from any combustible materials, as per regulations.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls have only a small amount of heat output and are ideal for an alternative to central heating systems.

Some models include a handy remote that has multiple heat settings and backlighting choices to suit your mood or atmosphere.
