The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls

If you're looking to bring warmth, atmosphere and a focal point to your wall of media, then consider an electric fireplace. Most use LED lights to create dazzling flame effects, as well as offering lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.

These devices also come with features like open window detection, ambient lighting kits and music synchronization.

1. British Fires New Forest 1600

Designed to enhance the LED flame visuals as well as fuel bed technology to a new level, this fireplace provides an amazing display of flames that spread across the whole fire. This focal point will make your home look more beautiful with its rich, authentic fire colors. They capture the nuances of the logs from the New Forest National Park. The distinctive logs are constructed to the highest standards and rest comfortably on top of husks and wood chips that create a warm and earthy atmosphere.

The patented air curtain technology has been designed to distribute 1.5kW of heat efficiently across your room. Unlike gas fires, which typically require an open flue in order to function, electric fires operate without smoke or carbon monoxide emissions and offer a more environmentally friendly alternative.


This gorgeous fireplace can be upgraded with an optional black trim and anti-reflective front glass. Real logs of a higher quality can be added. The electric fire is available in a variety of styles that include corner, flush and 3-sided.

This fire is perfect for a media-wall. Its small frame dimensions permit it to be inserted in a pre-built mock-up wall, or you can remove the fireplace completely and mount it directly on the wall using an optional wall mount kit.

This electric fire was inspired by the natural beauty found in the New Forest of Hampshire. The bespoke logs are meticulously crafted to the highest standards and capture every speck of a log that could be found in the New Forest National Park. The LED flame visuals set against a backdrop of wood chips and husks create a genuine woodland scene that is warm and contemporary.

2. Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL

It is designed to allow the possibility of a 1 or 3 sided installation straight out of the box, this eye-catching hole-in-the-wall electric fire is sure to mesmerize and captivate. It's the ideal centrepiece for any media wall. It features an impressive multi-LED effect fuel bed in 13 colours, as well as a rotation setting. Its nebulous heater offers an incredibly warm 1.5kW of heat that can be controlled by a seven-day thermostat control that can be programmed to fine-tune the flame settings and the colour of the fuel bed.

The most effective wall-mounted electric media fireplaces are not only stunning visual treats and are eco-friendly. By limiting their heat output to just the amount of ambient warmth you require, they use less energy, saving you money on your electric bills. The "flame only" option means you can enjoy the hypnotic dance of flames without having to turn up the heat, which is ideal for rooms that don't require much heat.

Inset vs wall-hung

Media wall electric fires are available in two basic styles: wall-mounted and inset. 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 blending in with the surrounding walls for a sleek appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an existing opening.

The most efficient electric media wall fires like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. Since they don't sit inset into the wall, they don't need an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to put up. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering a wide range of different finishes and trims to match your style. Despite this wall-hung models may appear to be a bit out of the wall, meaning they're not suitable for every room. They can also hinder air flow in smaller rooms because they tend to radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.

3. Vision Futura 1500

Electric fires can be the perfect addition to a media wall. They create an element of interest that is mesmerising and enjoyable to be seated in front of. Modern fires come with a variety of modern features to improve your home, such as an exclusive flame effect that conserves energy, as well as an air-cooling feature which is ideal for hot summer nights.

A media wall is a dedicated area for your entertainment setup, typically with a TV and sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other devices you use regularly. This is a modern twist on the traditional entertainment centers and can give an elegant, organized look while allowing space to be freed up in the room.

The majority of modern  electric fires for media wall s are affixed to the wall and are either freestanding or inset depending on the design you pick. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into a fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install and are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have an opening in the fireplace. They can also be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.

Regardless of the installation method you choose, make sure the fire is located near a power outlet to allow you to connect it and test its functions prior to installing. You'll also want to locate the fire away from any combustible substances, as per the regulations.

Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for wall use provide a low output of heat and are best utilized to complement your central heating system. They are not suitable for heating large spaces, and are able to only warm rooms. Some models include a handy remote control with a variety of different settings for heating and backlighting to suit your mood and ambience.

4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT

If you have a small space for a freestanding fireplace media wall electric fires are the perfect alternative. These fires are powered by electricity so you don't have to be concerned about gas lines or carrying in logs. You can control them from the comfort of your sofa. Most often, they provide just enough warmth to ease the chill of an icy room and make it more comfortable.

They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, so you can pick the one that is most suitable for your wall. They are generally designed to be installed into a cavity or recess however some can be mounted directly on the wall for a more minimalist look. Inset models are more likely to offer better heat distribution because they aren't blocked by a chimney.

If you opt for an item that is mounted on the front the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) boasts an extended flame image to increase its aesthetic appeal as well as provide additional visual depth. Smart integration, which allows you to control your fire using an app on your smartphone or tablet, is a further selling point.
