Media walls have become a recent craze and have skyrocketed in popularity in the last couple of years with the push from influencers showcasing them within their homes and the all togethor look they create. Why is this?
Entertainment walls are great at creating a main centrepiece within your living room that can be complimented with a tv, fireplace or soundbar and we all know they’re very handy for hiding those awful cabels!
Not only are they space efficient, they’ll also add a beautiful contemporary and modern touch to your home interior that oozes a sleek and stylish look for a fairly inexpensive price. Compliment your media wall with the addition of an electric fireplace that will cast a warm ambient glow throughout your room and inturn creating a very cosy feel.
It can be very difficult finding your ideal insert electric fireplace that suits your preferences and home interior as there are so many to choose from. That is why we have compiled a list of what we think are the best electric fires for a built in media wall, as we always get asked. We showcase many media wall designs at Bonfire to give you a wide variety to choose from.
