Wall-Mounted
Electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted are great for those who don't want to cut into their walls or frame an opening. They come with mounting brackets that permit you to put the fireplace directly on a wall just like a flat-screen television or picture. You can install them yourself, but you might require a second pair if the model is huge. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes because they can be easily removed when it's time to move and don't leave a hole in the wall.
Most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be placed into a wall recess so that they're completely flush with the wall for a sleek look or to integrate them into the recession partially to add depth. Certain models, such as the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to cover the protrusion of the firebox. You can also change the appearance of these units by choosing different LED and flame color settings to match your decor.
A wall-mounted freestanding electric fireplace can take up a significant amount of floor space. And because you can't install it in a recess in the wall the fireplace tends to stick out more than a freestanding one that has a mantel. But this is a minor disadvantage and something to consider when deciding on which type of fireplace is the best one for you.
Another benefit of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that you can mount it in any room of your home. You can create a focal point for your living space, and also add an element of ambiance.
