6 Great Media Wall Ideas With A Fire

Media wall fires are commonly installed on an entertainment wall to make it the focal point of a room. 

The furniture in a room is often pointed toward this feature to draw attention to the area, and many media walls also accommodate TVs, gaming consoles, and decorative elements. 

A fire on your media wall can add a unique and stylish appearance to your home, providing a cosy atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying your favourite activities surrounded by warmth. 

At Fires2U, we have 6 brilliant ideas to upgrade your home and create the room of your dreams.

1. The Cosy Classic

Consider using neutral colours and materials for your media wall, such as brick and reclaimed wood, for a classic look. A light cream or warm brown room is perfect for a soft, minimalist appearance.

For that extra detail, flank the fireplace with built-in bookshelves or cabinets, perfect for storing books and ornaments. 

2. Modern Minimalism

A modern media wall involves a sleek, uncluttered appearance. Electric fireplaces with a linear or wall-mounted profile work well in modern minimalist spaces.

For your backdrop, stick to neutral tones such as grey, white, or black for a clean look. The British Fire’s New Forest Electric Fire is the perfect choice for a modern touch. With its sleek encasing, LED flame visuals, and 1500 W heat output, this is a great minimalist fire. 

Instead of ornate shelving or bulky cabinets, opt for built-ins that are handleless and seamlessly integrate into the wall. Add a few art pieces or ornaments for a touch of personalisation, focusing on abstract art or sculptures for a contemporary feel.

3. Rustic Charm

A rustic home includes a rugged, country design. Decorate with vintage furniture, antique ornaments, and rustic artwork, and adorn your ceiling with wooden beams for a maximalist approach. 

To add to the rustic atmosphere, choose a fire that simulates the look of real wood. 

A perfect candidate is the DRU Virtuo 180/3 Evolve Electric Fire. This looks great, surrounded by earthy tones, and it produces a wood-crackling sound effect for a cosy atmosphere.

4. Tech-Savvy Solutions

For those who love everything tech, consider surrounding your fireplace with electronics and smart systems for your dream media wall. 

Start with a high-resolution, large-screen TV or display as the centrepiece of your media wall. Consider a surround sound setup with wireless speakers for an immersive sound stage, simulating a cinema experience from your home.

The Flamerite Glazer 1500 inset electric fire looks stunning below a wall-mounted TV. This comes with different controls and effects depending on your preferences, including colour-changing tones, ideal for a tech lover.

Add your favourite game consoles around the fire, utilising cable management solutions for a clean and tidy appearance. Integrate voice control systems to easily control your media wall and smart devices. 

5. Small Space Marvels

If you have a small space to work with, then don’t worry! Fires2U knows how to transform a room, big or small. 

We suggest opting for a hole-in-the-wall electric fire to create a focal point without overwhelming the room. Our Celsi Electriflame VR Commodus s1250 is the perfect space-saving choice. 

With 3-sided glass and a natural log effect, you will have the look of a real fire with additional features, such as 16 colour customisations and LED brightness control. 

Invest in multi-functional furniture, such as a coffee table or chairs with hidden storage, to prevent clutter and keep your home looking elegant. Light, neutral colours can make the space feel more open.

6. Eco-Friendly Elegance

An eco-friendly media wall involves sustainable materials, eco-conscious design, and energy-efficient technology. 

Consider using reclaimed and recycled materials as the backdrop for your wall or any decorative elements such as shelves and cupboards. Not only do they look great in your home, but they help move us closer to a greener planet.

However, please note we always advise to check with the installation information of your electric fire to make sure how you want to either install or the material you want to use will be suitable for the fire you have purchased.

For your fireplace, opt for an electric design as they are highly energy-efficient and produce zero harmful emissions. Consider installing solar panels to offset the electricity consumption of your fire, saving you money and reducing your carbon footprint. Discover our range of high-quality media wall fires and get in touch with us if you have any questions.
