Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are two of the most popular styles. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer a flush finish, seamlessly blends into the surrounding walls for a sleek appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more expensive and require an existing opening.
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 need an opening in the wall and are relatively cheap to install. They are more adaptable than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering a wide range of different designs and trims to fit your decor. Despite this, wall-hung models can appear to be a bit out of the wall, meaning they might not be suitable for every room. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces because they'll probably disperse the heat upwards instead of across the room.

A media wall is an space for your entertainment setup, typically with a sound and TV system, but it could also include gaming consoles or other equipment that you frequently use. This kind of space is a modern answer to the traditional entertainment centres of the past and can provide a sleek, organized look while freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall and, depending on the design, they can either be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted in a fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install, and they are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. 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 from room to room for flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you decide to use, ensure that the fire is located near a power outlet so that you can connect it and test its functions prior to installing. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Keep in mind that most electric fireplaces for media walls offer a low heat output and are best used to add supplementary heating to your central heating systems.
