Inset vs wall-hung

Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with surrounding walls. However, inset electric fires require an opening that is already in place and can be a bit more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.

Because they aren't inset into the wall, they don't need a pre-existing opening and are relatively inexpensive to install. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models featuring a wide range of different trims and finishes to suit your style. However wall-hung models are able to appear to be a bit out of the wall, which means they're not suitable for all rooms.

Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who don't have a fireplace recess. They can be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
