Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are recessed into a wall and feature a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the walls surrounding it.

The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Because they aren't set into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are relatively inexpensive to install. They are more flexible than inset electric fires with some models offering a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not suit all room designs. They also can hinder the flow of air in smaller spaces because they tend to spread heat upwards instead of across the space.

The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are mounted to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset based on the design you choose. An inset fire is designed to be partially inserted into a fireplace opening which makes it much easier to install and looks more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
No matter which installation method you choose, you should always put the fire in proximity to an electrical outlet to ensure that you can connect the device and test it before fitting. As per guidelines, you'll need to keep the fire away from flammable material.
