Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are two of the most popular styles. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with surrounding walls. However, inset electric fireplaces require an opening that is already in place and are a little more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.

Since they don't sit installed into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are comparatively inexpensive to put up. There are models that come with various trims and finishes that can be customized to fit your style. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably radiate heat upwards instead of across the space.

Modern electric fireplaces for media walls are affixed to the wall and are either inset or freestanding depending on the design you pick. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially into the fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install and can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have a fireplace recess. They can be moved between rooms for flexibility.
Regardless of the installation method you choose, make sure the fire is located near a power outlet to allow you to connect it to the power source and test all functions prior to fitting. As per guidelines, you'll need to place the fire away from any combustible materials.
