I think they can look great in a modern setting, and look cheesy in a traditional setting. The trick is not to treat it like the real thing, but appreciate it for what it is. We have a very modern one in a very modern setting and I love it.


Thanks for sharing and posting. Do you remember the brand for the one you have? Would like to check out. This will a be a modern setting.


Ours is Dimplex, which is a solid brand. A few examples:








When I was shopping, this site was helpful: https://modernblaze.com/

i hope you find something that you enjoy! We use ours at least 4x a week. It just adds a cozy little liveliness to the room.

They are no more a fire hazard than an electric heater would be, maybe less so as there is no cord to trip over.

OP, you may be interested in this article about faux fireplaces by an interior designer with tips for sprucing up the ready made ones.

We are renovating an apartment in building that does not have/allow wood/gas fireplaces. What do folks think of electric fireplaces? Cheesy? The reno will be somewhat highend so don't want to ruin it by making a glaring mistake.
