Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two most popular types. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most efficient electric media wall fireplaces, like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3 are wall-hung. As they're not set into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to install. Certain models are available in various trims and finishes that can be customised to your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They also can hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces as they will likely spread heat upwards instead of across the room.

This is a modern twist on the old entertainment centres and can offer an elegant, well-organized look while also letting more space in the room.
Modern electric fireplaces for media walls are fixed to the wall and can be either inset or freestanding depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into a fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install, and they are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have an opening in the fireplace. They can also be moved from room to place to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter which installation method you choose, always put the fire near an electrical outlet to ensure you can connect the device to test it before installing. In accordance with the rules, you'll need keep the fire away from any combustible material.

Some models come with a handy remote with multiple heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood or ambience.
