How to Create a Media Wall

Take note of the type of flame effect you'd like and look for features that can enhance the atmosphere, such as adjustable LEDs, log-effect fires and smouldering smoke effects.

For example, the evonic e1500 can be connected to platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant which allows you to control your fireplace using voice commands.

Certain wall models for media like the OER Hilton are more traditional and come with a classic design. They feature a traditional satin white surround and contrasting Astoria grey satin slips, that create a refined look and adds a traditional look to the space.

If you're looking for something a little more original and unique then you should consider the Celsi Electriflame. This electric fire pyramid that can be mounted on the wall features a black front and is able to project flame images on two, one or even three sides.
