Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and offer a flush finish, seamlessly merging into the surrounding walls to create a neat appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an opening.
The most efficient electric media wall fires like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. As they're not inset into the wall, they don't need an opening in the wall and are relatively inexpensive to set up. They are more flexible than inset electric fires, with some models offering a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your style. Despite this wall-hung models may appear to be a bit out of the wall, meaning they might not be suitable for all room designs. They can also restrict the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.

A media wall is an area specifically designed for your entertainment system. It could include a TV, sound system or other devices that you frequently use. It's a modern take on the old entertainment centers and can offer an elegant, well-organized look while freeing up space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall, and based on the design, they can be inset or freestanding. An inset fire is designed to be inserted partially into the fireplace opening making it simpler to install and can look more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to place to make it more flexible.
No matter what method of installation you choose, you should always put the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure that you are able to connect the device to test it before installing. According to the rules, you'll need put the fire away from flammable material.
