In modern interiors, interesting elements are increasingly appearing - electric fireplaces. Dimensions, design, design features and some other design parameters can vary significantly, so the choice is not so easy. Dimensions are of particular importance. If they are chosen incorrectly, then the expected effect will not be achieved. The main element of the decor will be lost among other items.
Features of choice
Immediately before purchase, the approximate dimensions of the electric fireplace must be clearly defined. To do this, you need to take into account just a few simple points.
- For a small room, it is recommended to purchase a small size design. If the entire wall in the room is occupied, then visually the space will narrow. Overall products are mainly chosen for mansions with living rooms over 50 m22.
- Professional designers suggest using the standard proportion of 1 to 50, that is, with an arearoom 25 m2 the square of the front of the structure should be 0.5 m2.
- When choosing electric fireplaces for an apartment or house, you should not hope that these devices, even large ones, will replace the usual heaters. If they create heat, then only for a short period of time. They are best used as eye-catching design elements.
It must be understood that with an increase in the size of the fireplace, electricity costs will increase. The largest models in operation can incur hefty costs.
Small products
The cheapest electric fireplaces are small. Their area can be as little as an eighth of a square meter. Such structures can be easily moved from one place to another, as well as transported to the country. With the help of miniature models, it is possible to create a cozy corner indoors for meetings with friends and relatives.
Despite their compact size, electric fireplaces can have additional features. For example, structures are often made that have the function of humidifying the air. Many analogues are able to imitate the process of burning firewood in a firebox.
Medium Size
The average size of electric fireplaces is usually 60x60x30 cm. They are in great demand among consumers due to their mobility and functionality. There are only three options:
- Floor electric fireplaces are designs withlegs or special stands. They are installed in various rooms directly on the floor.
- Wall-mounted electric fireplaces are hung on special brackets to the wall surface of the room. They can be placed above the sofa or dining table.
- Recessed analogues are embedded inside the wall. A special niche is being made for them. However, this option is not always acceptable due to the design features of the walls.
Models of wall-mounted electric fireplaces have become more popular, as they do not take up space on the floor. They can be hung anywhere in the room, and below to place other interior items. This is a very good solution, especially if the room is small.
Oversized items
Electric fireplaces that are 70x50 cm or larger are much more expensive, but they also look more impressive. They imitate the burning of logs, and also recreate the smoke. However, they are not suitable for small spaces, as they take up too much space. Most often, models are built into a niche that is made in the wall.
