Traditional fireplaces occupy pride of place in homes located in places which experience cold weather conditions. The experience of sitting in front of a fireplace with fire crackling and the burning wood can no doubt be magical but at the same time, it should also be kept in mind that maintaining a fireplace is not easy. It is necessary to have a proper chimney to let out smoke. Constant supply of firewood and routine maintenance are important if one decides to have a fireplace at home. The collected ash also needs to be cleared regularly. Moreover, fireplaces may not be safe because of the fumes and smoke that they spew.
In a region like ours, having a fireplace would neither be appropriate nor necessary. But if you have always wanted to have a fireplace in your home, you can now re-create the magical effect, the warmth and the ambience of a fireplace by installing an electric fireplace. An electric fireplace is hassle free and an easier alternative to traditional, wood burning fireplaces. It is convenient and easy to install and maintain, and one doesn't have to worry about chimneys, smoke, fumes and venting. Electric fireplaces also add a decorative element to the living room. These fireplaces are light-weight and easily portable. So, it does not pose a problem if they need to be shifted to any other place in the house. They also come with a remote control, which makes it easy to operate them.
The wide range and variety of colours and textures in which electric fireplaces are available is mind-boggling. They can be bought as an entire unit along with the mantle. These are available in different finishes like wood, marble, cast iron, etc and one can go in for the kind which matches the decor of the living room and place it in the desired place. Alternatively, only electrically powered inserts are also available, for which the mantle can be designed to resemble the finish of a traditional fireplace. This can complement the already existing furniture of the living room. The mantle can double up as a perfect place to display your priced collectibles or family photographs.
