TV Size
Media walls are an elegant method of incorporating a flat screen TV, electric fire and bespoke storage into your living space decor. These stud wall frameworks often contain cabinets, shelves and drawers along with the TV to create a completely customized entertainment centre. For many, the centerpiece of an entertainment wall is an elegant electric fire. The proper size of the TV is crucial for this particular installation. You want the screen to be large enough to be immersive but not so big that it dwarfs or overwhelms the fire.
Start by measuring inset electric fires for media wall where you intend to install your fireplace and TV. Sketch it out to scale, including any existing windows, doors or built-in furniture arrangements. This will give you a maximum width and height that you can create media walls.
It is also important to consider how you intend to use your electric fire and television together. Film lovers may prefer a large screen to enjoy a cinematic viewing experience, whereas those who only use the TV for entertainment purposes are often able to get by using a smaller model.
If you are planning to upgrade your TV in the near future, selecting one that is at the lower end of the market will keep your media wall current as technology improves. This will prevent you from having to redo your custom installation if your TV's model changes.

Fireplace Size
Media walls are a popular trend in interior design. Many homeowners take this idea to the next step by installing an electric fireplace. The result is an impressive centerpiece that is a source of warmth and visual appeal.
When selecting an electric fireplace for your media wall, there are many things to think about. One of the most important factors is the size of the fireplace. The fireplace must be large enough to accommodate the TV, which will be set directly above the fire.
The best option is to select an electric fireplace that is a similar width to your TV. This will provide an elegant, neat finish to the fireplace, as it will be seamlessly integrated into the TV recess. It is also possible to install a fireplace slightly wider than the TV. This can be done too. The Gazco eStudio 105R is a popular choice for this type of installation, and it offers a choice of glass fitting options to ensure that you find the perfect match to your home.
The Valor LEX2-S is a great choice for this type of installation. It includes blanking plates that permit you to keep either the left or right side of the fire open while enclosing the other side.

Decorative Elements
It's common for homeowners to build bespoke walls of studs that conceal the AV equipment like TVs as well as soundbars, shelving and shelves and appliances such as electric fireplaces, for an integrated look. Power leads, aerial cables and more can be easily hidden within these stud wall structures and provide a sleek look that's easy to keep clean.

Heating is a necessity
A media wall isn't just an attractive feature for your home, it's also a great method to incorporate a TV and an electric fireplace in a neat installation. Some go even further, including a soundbar, shelving and storage integrated into their bespoke wall studs. Consider an inset electric fireplace with built-in heating for a more stylish appearance. This is a fantastic option for a built in TV because you can put the electric fireplace directly beneath the screen. You don't have to worry about ugly cables or combustible materials.
A lot of inset electric fireplaces have the option of "flame effects only," which allows you to experience the enchanting effect of dancing flames without heat. Certain electric fires come with different settings that allow you to manage the intensity of the flames and create a tranquil or lively atmosphere. You can also select an option that is 'heat-only' that provides gentle background warmth, which is ideal for those who want to add some warmth to their living space without racking up energy bills.
You can also enhance your media wall by adding smart fires that come with remote or app control. You can use these features to reduce the flame's effects and adjust the heat up or down and some models keep a pre-set temperature for the room. Window detection for open windows is another useful feature that detects sudden drops in the temperature that indicate that an external door or window has been left ajar. The fire then automatically decreases or shuts off its output to conserve energy.
To keep things organised, some inset electric fires can be fitted with a recessed power point that conceals cables and makes it easier to reach the plug sockets. One option is the Gazco eStudio 85R, which has an elegant power point that is recessed and has a clever cable tidying solution that keeps wires from obscuring the plug. Check your electrical setup before installing your media wall. You may need to install new plug sockets in order to power your electric fireplace and TV.
