A fireplace in a home is an element of comfort, beauty and harmony. A flame burning among logs adds originality to the interior and creates a constant atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility. A pleasant evening by the fireplace with family, friends or alone allows you to forget about the surrounding bustle, relax and unwind. Modern technologies make it possible to enjoy the beauty of a glowing fireplace in the house, forgetting about the difficulties associated with installing a fireplace.

Modern fireplaces: hearths and portals
Purchasing a conventional wood-burning fireplace involves a number of installation difficulties and strict operating rules.
In the interior of a city apartment, this seems completely impossible due to the need to install a chimney. However, today, with the advent of electric fireplace models, all the difficult issues disappear by themselves.
An electric fireplace works on the principle of simulating a real flame. Various technologies can be used here:
- Projection of bright backlight onto a glass screen
- Fluttering strips of fabric
- Image of fire on LCD monitor
- Using illuminated steam
The popular Opti-Myst technology uses a built-in ultrasonic steam generator to produce cold steam.
Illuminated by halogen lamps and LEDs, it creates a reliable imitation of a “live” flame. This method is in particular demand due to the fact that the fire in the hearth is very realistic and does not differ from the real thing. Revillusion's state-of-the-art technology uses a special "Semi-Transparent MiragePanelTM" mirror screen to replace the traditional mirror, allowing the fire effect to be greatly enhanced with visual depth and LED lighting. It also uses a new technology to imitate the shape of a flame, which allows you to create the most realistic fire effect that looks great in your home interior.

Electric fireplaces are easy to use, easy to install (you just need to plug it into an outlet), safe, and economical (you don’t need to constantly spend money on fuel - just fill the tank with water). There are also a large number of installation methods (which will allow you to purchase them even for a small apartment) and many design options for every taste. You can purchase a model with heating and sound effects of crackling wood to create the full feeling of a real fireplace.
In the photo: interior design in apartments with a fireplace
In a city apartment, as well as for a private house, choosing an electric fireplace will be the most practical and optimal option.
Electric fireplaces differ in the installation method and the material from which the portal is made.
Types of electrical sources according to installation method
The variety of models allows you to take into account any preferences and conditions for placing an electric fireplace.
Wall mounted
These fireplace models have a classic installation option, located near the wall and framed by a portal.
They have a traditional design and can be made of wood, stone, brick or ceramic. A variety of styles (classic, high-tech, Provence and others) will allow you to choose a portal that will look harmonious in any interior (even in a small apartment or with a non-standard layout). Such a fireplace will look most advantageous in a spacious living room. A wall-mounted fireplace does not require complicated installation - it is installed near the wall and connected to an outlet. The ease of installation and further operation also makes this type of fireplace popular.

Corner
Such fireplaces are located in the corner of the room and do not require complex installation - you just need to fix it to the wall for stability.
They are also presented in various styles; they can be made of stone, wood or ceramics, and decorated with decorative elements. Corner portals will look equally good in the interior of any apartment: both in a large living room and in a small bedroom. Occupying a corner, the fireplace allows you to save room space. The mantelpiece can be decorated with various figurines, photographs, candles, vases and other decor, complementing the composition. Smoldering logs will create a mood of peace, and the heating function will allow you to warm up near the fireplace in winter.

Wall mounted
This type of fireplace is a technological panel, inside of which there is an imitation of fire behind durable glass.
The panel is hung on the wall using special fasteners. This type also does not cause problems during installation and operation. Wall-mounted fireplaces come in different sizes and can be installed at different heights, complementing the interior with a burning hearth.

Built-in
This electric fireplace differs from previous models in that it can be built into both a portal and a wall.
Installing a fireplace into a wall is more difficult, as it will require preparation of a niche and installation. It is best to entrust this process to professionals, however, you can act independently.
The built-in model is suitable for any room and will save useful space in the room. An electric fireplace will look good both in a classically furnished apartment and in a minimalist interior or high-tech style, thanks to the discreet design of the portal. Often a flat-screen TV is placed above such fireplaces, which allows you to spend truly pleasant evenings watching your favorite movie in front of the flickering flame.
In the photo: built-in electric fireplaces in the interior
For lovers of minimalism or modern high-tech style, the best option would be electric fireplaces built into a wall niche.

Cassette
This version of the fireplace also has a built-in installation type, but it can be integrated into various objects (tables, cabinets, floors, etc.).
The open design of such fireplaces allows you to enjoy the view of dancing flames. The peculiarity of such models is that they can be used to build a line of any length from several component elements.

Freestanding
This type of fireplace is characterized by its mobility and the ability to move it anywhere in the room if desired.
It can be placed near the bed or among the furniture and create a blazing fireplace in the middle of the room. You can also use this model to zone a room. The fireplace, as a rule, has the shape of an open bowl, which is made in the form of a forged grate in which the coals are located. In some models of electric fireplaces, it is possible to lay out the woodpile at will, and the LEDs built into the firewood create a full-fledged effect of flickering coals and burning logs.
In the photo: a free-standing fireplace in the house
A free-standing hearth or a fireplace built into a table will add zest to the interior and create a truly interesting room design.

Principle of operation
To fully understand this, you need to first understand what it consists of. All built-in products consist of two elements:
- portal;
- hearth.
The portal is the outer frame of the product, the hearth is the firebox where logs or coals are located, depending on the design solution.
The outbreak may be:
- built-in;
- replaceable.
The first version of the models has a certain size, which is provided in the portals. To install these structures, just insert them into the portal and connect to the power supply. Due to their characteristics, replacement fireboxes require special framing. It can be ordered separately for the fireplace or made independently using materials suitable for this work.
For cozy family evenings
Looking at the flame effect, many are surprised at how manufacturers managed to achieve such a resemblance to natural fire? Everything is quite simple.
Several methods are used to create fireplaces:
1In the firebox, instead of coal or firewood, ordinary plastic is used, painted in different colors, from black to red, orange. Thin pieces of fabric are tied to it, most often light silk is used. At the bottom of this structure a regular incandescent lamp and a fan are installed. After turning on, the incandescent lamp begins to illuminate an imitation of coal or firewood, creating the effect of hot coals. The fan accelerates the pieces of material in different directions. This technology is used in budget models and most modern fireplaces already work differently. But even these options look pretty good.
Creates a simulated fire
2Similar model, but slightly improved. A rotating reflector is installed at the bottom, which gives a more realistic picture. Otherwise, the design and operating principle are similar to the previous version.
3Modern models work on a completely different principle. Imitation of fire is achieved by projecting glare onto a cloud of water vapor and using LED backlighting. Built-in speakers produce the sound of crackling wood. The heating function is provided by built-in heating elements and a fan that expels warm air from the device. The thermostat monitors the room temperature. Modern models can have both built-in controls and a remote control.
Modern models are controlled using a remote control
43D and 5D fireplaces give a good effect. Their work is based on the use of a liquid crystal matrix, which reproduces the image loaded into the device’s memory. To give the fire volume, manufacturers use a technique used by illusionists - “Pepper's Ghost”. In the firebox, at a special angle, there is a translucent mirror, and behind it there are models of smoldering logs with built-in LEDs, which cyclically fade and flare up. This effect is combined with video recording of fire and sparks. It is projected onto the screen, creating a realistic picture.
Portal design and style
In addition to the variety of installation types, an electric fireplace can also be customized to suit specific preferences.
To do this, you should consider the location in the apartment, the type of fireplace and the style of the portal. Depending on the material of the portal, fireplaces can be made of wood, plastic, stone or brick.
For classic interiors, a traditional wooden fireplace in light or dark color is suitable. It can be decorated with additional decor or stucco.
In the photo: interior design with a classic fireplace
A more luxurious decor option is suitable for the Provence style. A portal stylized as a walnut tree, upholstered furniture around and flowers in pots will create an elegant composition.
In the photo: electric fireplace in Provence style
If you want to add uniqueness to the interior, you can choose an electric fireplace with a corner portal, decorated in marble or ivory with antique decor or antique styling. You can place compositions of matching decorations on the mantelpiece. Such an elegant interior element will become the centerpiece of the room.

When choosing a chalet style for the interior of your apartment, you can install a corner or wall fireplace framed in stone. The naturalness of the materials and the dancing fire will create a feeling of closeness to nature.

Types of electric fireplaces
To make a choice, you need to know what types of electric fireplaces exist and think in advance about its location in the interior of the room.
Some fireplaces are installed permanently in one place and fixed. They can be: wall-mounted, floor-mounted, wall-mounted and built into various decorative structures, for example, false fireplaces or walls. Mobile options can be moved to any of the rooms; some of them have small wheels for convenience.
They are also divided into ordinary, flat panels, angular, or having intricate, unusual shapes.
Fireplace in the interior of the apartment
An electric fireplace for a city apartment can be not only a beautiful decorative element, but also a completely functional acquisition.
Many models of electric fires are capable of quickly heating a room of up to 20 m2. For this purpose, fireplaces have a heating function. Models operating on water can humidify the air in the room, and this can also be attributed to the practical functionality of electric fires. The fireplace is suitable for any premises - hall, living room, office, dining room, children's room or even balcony. The choice of model will depend not only on the design of the room, but also on its dimensions. In the photo: electric fireplaces in the living room, study and dining room
Fireplace for small apartments and small rooms
For small rooms, it is better to pay attention to compact models of electric fireplaces.
These can be small electric stoves, made in the old English style. They are stylized as cast iron models with a door. An interesting solution would be free-standing fireplaces. For example, the Silverton hearth, which does not require additional framing and will help create a unique corner with a brightly burning fireplace even in the smallest room. Volterra and Cellini fireplaces, thanks to their unusual design, will become the center of attraction for all guests and residents of the apartment. Their compact dimensions allow them to be installed in any room. In the photo: corner fireplace, Silverton hearth and Numan electric stove in small apartments
Don't forget about corner fireplace models. Their installation allows you to significantly save space in the room, while visually the fireplace does not seem small. On the mantelpiece you can place interior items, books, photographs, that is, use the fireplace as an additional functional space.
Fireplaces for large apartments and large rooms
The choice of fireplaces for spacious rooms is much wider. You can choose a model not only based on its overall dimensions. Wide hearths, cassette models, classic fireplaces, wall-mounted or built-in options - it all depends on personal preferences and the design of the room.
In the photo: cassette fireplace, wide fireplace, wall fireplace in large apartments
When choosing a fireplace for large rooms, it is worth considering that compact models can get lost in space and become invisible, therefore, if you still want to purchase a small-sized model, then it is better to style a separate zone in the living space as it, perhaps different in design from everything else premises. In this case, you can turn to the art nouveau style.
False fireplace made of plasterboard
Unlike the option made from simple boxes, an artificial fireplace made from boxes has serious durability. Its manufacture must be approached with the utmost care. The structure will be securely fastened to the wall, and heavy objects can be placed on it.
To assemble a false fireplace made of plasterboard, you will need the following components:
- plasterboard sheets;
- metal profile made of aluminum;
- dowels with self-tapping screws;
- primer;
- a tube of glue;
- yardstick;
- pencil;
- stationery knife;
- angle grinder or jigsaw for metal;
Assembling a plasterboard fireplace is carried out in the following order:
- Freeing up space for installation.
- Installation of aluminum profiles according to a pre-planned drawing. To attach profiles to the wall, dowels and screws are used.
- Covering an aluminum structure with plasterboard.
- Aligning right angles.
- Puttying. To apply a new layer, it is necessary for the previous layer to dry.
- Final finishing.
You can make such a design yourself or order it from professionals. The choice of different types of fireplaces depends on the layout, dimensions of the apartment and the preferences of its owners.
Fireplace in a country house
A fireplace in a country house can be not only wood-burning, but also, which is more practical and no less stylish, electric. Most often, in country houses, space allows you to choose any size fireplace model. You can purchase a ready-made fireplace set with a portal and a hearth, select them separately, or you can select only the hearth and order it yourself or make a unique frame.
In the photo: Cassette hearth, fireplace set and wall fireplace in a country house
Some electric fireplace models are suitable for installation in an existing wood-burning fireplace. This is very convenient if you don’t want to light the fireplace, especially in the hot season. A Silverton or Revillusion hearth is suitable for this. They look like real wood grates with smoldering logs.
In the photo: Revillusion hearth, Silverton fireplaces in country houses
If the room has a modern design, you can install a wall-mounted hearth or a built-in fireplace model. A cassette fireplace built into a table in the center of the room or in a wall niche will look unusual. A single line of open fire will look extremely stylish in a spacious room.
In the photo: the Cassette hearth in the center of the room, wall-mounted and built-in hearths in country houses
For a classic house or chalet-style room, models with wooden or stone portals are suitable. For rooms in antique style, you can choose fireplaces with portals decorated with antique columns and carved bas-reliefs.
Modern fireplaces: hearths and portals
Modern fireplaces can be installed in any room.
Kitchen
Most often, the kitchen area in city apartments is a fairly limited space.
Therefore, when choosing a fireplace, you should pay attention to more compact models or fireplaces that do not take up much usable space. For a kitchen in a modern style, a wall-mounted hearth is suitable; it is mounted on the wall using special brackets. The frame is made of durable plastic, and the fire in the hearth looks like a real one. If the kitchen is in a classic style, a classic corner fireplace will do. It won't take up much space and will look like a real wood-burning fireplace. In the photo: corner fireplace, wall-mounted fireplaces in the kitchen
Living room
The living room is usually the largest room in the apartment.
If you want to make the main emphasis on the fireplace, then it is better to purchase a large fireplace or place it in the center of the room. You can use a fireplace for zoning, for example, to visually divide the space of the living room and kitchen, since this is often one space, especially in studio apartments. To do this, you can build a cassette fireplace into a plasterboard wall, so the flame will be visible both in the kitchen and in the living room. For placement in the center of the room, a cassette fireplace would also be the best option. For installation against a wall, you can choose any fireplace, depending on the style of the living room. In the photo: a large fireplace in the center of the room
Bedroom
The bedroom is a place to relax, so a fireplace will be a wonderful addition to the interior.
If the bedroom is spacious, you can create a separate fireplace area with a fireplace and a couch or armchairs opposite the fireplace. For a small room, a wall-mounted or built-in fireplace is suitable. It is better to place the fireplace opposite the head of the bed so that you can admire the flames while lying in bed. For lovers of photographs and antiques, it is better to choose a fireplace with a portal in the apartment. In the photo: electric fireplaces in the bedroom
Attic
The living area of the attic can also be interestingly decorated using an electric fireplace.
If the attic is made using an abundance of wood and natural textures, install a chalet-style fireplace. This could be a hearth in a wooden or stone portal. For a modern attic, a cassette fireplace would be an interesting solution; it will divide the space into zones, if necessary, or become a bright accent of the interior. You don’t even have to use a portal, but come up with an unusual frame yourself. In the photo: electric fireplaces in the attic
Balcony
Since unnecessary things were no longer stored on balconies, it has become part of the living space in many city apartments.
A cozy place to relax is often set up on the balcony, and a fireplace will come in very handy there. Since the space of a balcony or loggia is not very large, it is better to purchase a small fireplace. A compact stove or a free-standing fireplace would fit perfectly on the balcony. If the space allows, you can install a wall-mounted fireplace. An interesting solution would be a cassette fireplace on the windowsill. In the photo: electric fireplaces on the balcony
Children's
It seems that the nursery and fireplace do not mix for safety reasons.
But this does not apply to electric fireplaces. They are completely harmless to children and animals, so you can safely install an electric fireplace in a children's room. We should proceed from the design, as well as from the considerations that the fireplace should not become the main accent. Therefore, you can simply design a small cozy relaxation area with a compact fireplace-stove. A good solution would be a wall-mounted model or a built-in fireplace. In the photo: electric fireplace in children's areas
Hallway
The hallway is the first thing we see when entering the apartment.
Therefore, a brightly burning fireplace in the hallway area is a relevant and original design solution. Choose small fires. This could be a wall-mounted fireplace, which is suitable for a modern-style room, or a built-in fireplace next to a mirror. A wall-mounted version of the fireplace can be placed in a spacious room. An interesting move would be to install a fireplace in a table opposite the entrance to the apartment. In the photo: electric fireplaces in the hallway
Bathroom
What could be better than soaking in the bath and watching the flames play in the fireplace?
An electric fireplace can help with this. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to install a fireplace in a small bathroom. But if the size of the room allows, then the imagination for installing a fireplace is almost limitless. The most popular solution would be to install a cassette fireplace with an open flame. It can be placed in a wall niche or in a podium that can be built above the floor. A stylized hearth made from a grate with firewood is an extraordinary solution that will not go unnoticed by guests. Wall-mounted and wall-mounted fireplaces are also relevant for installation in spacious bathrooms. In the photo: electric fireplace in the bathroom
False fireplace made from boxes
As auxiliary materials you will need: cardboard boxes, PVA glue, knife, measuring ruler, pencil, adhesive tape and some heavy object. First you need to draw a drawing, then mark the places of bends and gluing.
How to make a false fireplace with your own hands? Work should be performed in the following order:
Assemble the side posts. One or more boxes will be useful for this. In the case of a massive mantelpiece, the posts must be additionally reinforced, for example, with another layer of cardboard.
Installation of the base. To ensure a stable position of the false fireplace, you need to consider how it will be attached to the floor and side wall. The easiest way is to use long boxes of small height, and if they are not available, foam plastic 100 mm thick will do. If this is not the case, it makes sense to use unnecessary magazines or books, which should be placed inside the box to give it weight.
Attaching the side posts to the base. In addition to PVA glue, to give stability, they also use regular tape and use it to glue the joints between the stand and the base.
Rear wall assembly. It is attached like the side posts using glue.
Creation of the façade. To do this, you need one long box, which is attached to the already created side posts.
Fireplace cover. If it is not intended for placing objects on it, then one cardboard package will do. If you plan to put any objects on the fireplace, it is better to line the box with newspaper or a heavier object.
Decoration. Here, as they say, it comes down to taste and color. The only condition is that the additional body kit must be light in weight. To solve the problem, wallpaper, polystyrene foam and paint can be useful.
A false fireplace out of a box is an excellent interior decoration that will delight owners and guests. This option is ideal both in a house and in an apartment, regardless of its size.
Portal design and style
There are a great many design options and style solutions for portals. The most relevant today are several types:
- high tech;
- classic;
- chalet;
- minimalism;
- modern;
- East.
The style of the portal depends on several factors: what material it is made of, the presence or absence of decor, decor style, color schemes. The classic style is characterized by an abundance of decor on the front surface, most often there are columns on the sides, and sometimes an animalistic bas-relief is used. High-tech and minimalism are distinguished by a complete lack of decor, the lines of the portal are straight, plastic or wood are used in production. The chalet-style portal is made of stone and wood. Oriental style models use stylized patterns and color schemes. Modernism is distinguished by functionality and conciseness - this includes multimedia portals made of plastic and glass.

Living room design with electric fireplace
Modern false fireplaces, creating the effect of a living flame, can work wonders in an apartment. They can be mounted into a wall or installed permanently, corner, hanging models, used with a decorative portal or dispensed with. However, any of the selected locations will radically change the purpose of the living room, turning it into a fireplace room.
The basic rule that should be followed when installing an electric fireplace is a sufficient area. If the room is small, the fireplace will steal precious meters, and imitation fire will give the room an awkward appearance.
The design of a living room intended for installation of the device requires strict adherence to certain rules. First of all, when purchasing false fireplaces, you should responsibly choose the finish based on the general concept of the room, its style and your own preferences. For a room with a classic style, you should choose a device trimmed with natural stone or marble, and a bright modern design will go perfectly with ceramics and metal. Those who like to experiment can play with the contrast of colors in the living room. When giving preference to a particular material, you should familiarize yourself with the designers’ recommendations.
A soft sofa with a small table located nearby will look great in the living room near the fireplace. To maintain the visual balance of the room, the furniture should not have loud colors. This will help add mystery and mystery to the room. When installing a corner fixture, you need to take care that it does not look “naked.” To do this, false fireplaces are decorated with vases, photo frames, and a TV or other elements are installed.
There are a huge number of options for installing a fireplace in the living room, from time-tested to the most non-standard. It all depends on the chosen device and the layout of the room.
Stone fireplaces
Fireplaces in a stone portal can be attributed to both the classic style and the chalet style.
It all depends on the stone and its texture. The combination of stone and wood in one model is a chalet style that is suitable for country-style country houses. Stone fireplaces may differ in color scheme - in this case, it is necessary to select the color of the portal taking into account the use of primary colors in the interior. In the photo: electric fireplaces in stone design
The stone can be natural or artificial. The cost of a natural stone portal will be much higher and its installation will be much more difficult. However, it is worth considering that the artificial stone used in the manufacture of modern portals is visually no different from natural stone, therefore, even with a small budget, you can purchase a stylish fireplace in a stone portal that will look like a real fireplace.
In the photo: an electric fireplace in a portal made of natural stone and fireplaces with marble cladding
The stone portal can be either wall or corner. For small rooms, a corner fireplace will be an excellent solution, since it does not take up much usable space, and looks no less than a regular wall-mounted model. Not only the portal, but also the entire wall next to which it is installed can be lined with stone.
In the photo: corner stone electric fireplaces
In a stone portal, depending on the model, you can install a classic hearth with a back wall, or you can install a cassette-type hearth. In the latest version of the portal, the hearth area is lined with a coating stylized as real brick, which makes the resemblance to a real wood-burning fireplace maximum. The hearth can be chosen with glazing or with an open flame. Both options look impressive and stylish. You can also choose a fireplace with a heating function.
In the photo: Cassette hearth in a stone portal, Cavendish hearth in a stone portal, Cassette hearth with glazing in a stone fireplace surround
A wide range of sizes of stone portals allows you to choose the right model for any room. Narrow, wide, high and low - for the dining room, attic, bedroom, hallway. Niches for the hearth also vary in size, so it is necessary to select the hearth for the portal not only in style, but also in size. For a fireplace in a stone portal, it would not be amiss to have appropriate fireplace accessories that will perfectly complement the fireplace ensemble. A protective screen completes the styling of the relaxation area with a fireplace.
Decorative fireplace duct to disguise defects
Uneven walls, protruding pipes, errors in finishing - all these defects can be hidden behind a plasterboard niche. And it, in turn, will be trimmed with decorative stone and a false fireplace installed. This way the composition will look like a real fireplace with an air duct. However, remember that such camouflage will “eat up” the area.
TIP: By the way, to make the opening look more believable, paint it black - this creates an additional illusion of depth.

Fireplaces clad in wood or wood fireplaces
Wooden fireplaces are a wooden portal with a hearth.
We can classify them as classic style. But there are also modern design solutions in the spirit of hi-tech and minimalism, when wood cladding is used not only for the portal, but also for the entire area around the fireplace. In this case, wooden panels are often used to cover the wall in which the fireplace is built. The use of natural materials and textures allows us to establish unity with nature in an ordinary city apartment. When using wooden cladding, the presence of decor is not welcome. Maximum simplicity and conciseness in design - this is what a person who uses this technique in the interior strives for. In the photo: design solutions made of wood near electric fireplaces
Wall covering is also possible when installing a stone portal. Stone and wood combine perfectly with each other and will not overload the interior. When installing partitions with a fireplace, plasterboard wall cladding with wood is often used. The partition is lined with panels on both sides, and the hearth is also visible from two zones at the same time.
In the photo: stone and wood as a design solution for a living room with a fireplace
A wooden fireplace in a classic style is suitable not only for a country house, as it was before, before the advent of electric fireplaces, but also for a city apartment. A wooden portal can be in a minimalist or country style. Portal colors may also vary. On classic portals, the patination technique is often used to artificially age the fireplace. The use of ornamentation on the front surface of the portal makes the fireplace look like ancient fireplaces in castles. Often a stone countertop is installed on a wooden portal, which makes the fireplace authentic.
A variety of styles, colors and installation options will allow you to place a fireplace in any room and interior. The electric fireplace guarantees practicality, safety and ease of use. And realistic flames and heating will create a cozy atmosphere and ensure comfortable rest and many pleasant evenings.
conclusions
Modern models of electric fireplaces, as well as a correctly chosen or made portal, will decorate any room and add comfort and coziness. To make your electric fireplace more like a natural fire, you can buy special accessories. Their variety will also amaze even demanding customers.
So, to complete the composition, you can install a special firewood rack and fill it with decorative logs. It can be made of any material and have different colors. A special set that includes a spatula, tongs, a poker, and a broom will also look beautiful near the fireplace.
