How to Combine a Media Wall and an Electric Fire

Media walls are a new trend that are taking the interior design industry by storm. They are custom-designed wall panels that can be fitted with integrated storage like shelves and drawers or cabinets. They can also be fitted with appliances such as an electric fireplace.

You can add a unique dimension to your wall of media with the Gazco eStudio-105R media wall electric fire. This stunning fire is recessed into the wall to create a sleek in-depth look and provides stunning flame visuals with or without heat.

TV Size

A media wall is a beautiful method of integrating an LCD flat-screen TV, an electric fireplace, and custom-designed storage into a living room decor. These stud wall frameworks often contain cabinets, shelves and drawers, along with the TV to create a fully personalized entertainment center. For many, the centrepiece of an entertainment wall is an elegant electric fire. Choosing the right TV size for this particular installation requires careful consideration. You want the screen to be large enough to be immersive but not so big that it obliterates or dwarfs the fire.

Start by taking measurements of the wall space in which you intend to install your fireplace and TV. Draw it in size, taking into consideration any windows, doors or furniture arrangement built-in. This will give you the best dimensions of width and height within which you can create your media wall.

It is also important to consider how you plan to use your electric fireplace and television together. Film buffs might prefer to max out on the size of their screen for an immersive experience, whereas those who will only be using the TV for entertainment purposes will usually be able to use a smaller model.

If you are planning to upgrade your TV in the near future, opting for an option at the lower end of the market will keep your wall in tune as technology advances. This can help you avoid the hassle of having to redesign your bespoke installation if you choose to upgrade your TV.

When selecting an electric fireplace for your media wall there are several things to consider. One of the most important factors is the size of the fireplace. The fireplace must be large enough to accommodate the TV, which will be placed directly above the fire.

The best option is to choose an electric fire that is the same width as your TV. This will result in a neat and tidy finish in which the fireplace blends seamlessly into the TV recess. It is also possible to set up a fireplace slightly wider than the TV. This can be done too. This kind of setup is popular with the Gazco eStudio.

Decorative Elements

You can also select a 'heat only' setting that provides gentle background warmth, ideal for those who want to add some warmth to their living spaces without racking up energy bills.

You can add a touch of elegance to your media wall by adding a smart fireplace that is operated by remote or an app. You can utilize these to dim the flame effects and adjust the heat up or down, and some models can even maintain a pre-set temperature for the room. Window detection for open windows is another useful feature that detects sudden drops in the temperatures that indicate an open external door or a window has been left unlocked. The fire then automatically reduces or stops its output to conserve energy.

Certain inset electric fireplaces include a a handy plug socket that can be recessed to allow you to conceal cables. This allows you to reach the plug sockets.
