However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and can be a bit more expensive than freestanding counterparts.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to install and don't require an opening in the wall because they don't have to be recessed into the wall. Certain models are available in various trims and finishes that can be customized to your decor. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms.

They can be moved from room to room to allow for greater flexibility.
