Your modern electric fire options
Modern electric fires come in a wide range of styles, making it easier to find a solution that suits your space, layout, and the way you want your room to look. Whether you’re designing a new media wall, updating a living room, or adding a fire where a traditional one isn’t possible, there’s an option to perfectly match your home.
Wall-mounted modern electric fires
Wall-mounted electric fires are a popular choice for modern and minimalist interiors. Fixed directly to the wall, they create a strong visual feature without taking up floor space. This makes them ideal for living rooms, apartments, and open-plan areas where clean lines and simplicity matter.
Many wall-mounted modern electric fires include remote or smart control options, allowing you to adjust heat, flame brightness, and colour settings easily. They’re also quick to install, making them a practical option if you want impact without major building work.
Built-in modern electric fires
Built-in modern electric fire suites are designed to sit flush within a wall or custom feature. They’re commonly used in media walls or bespoke fireplace builds, creating a seamless, high-end finish that feels fully integrated into the room.
These contemporary electric fires offer flexibility in design, with a range of sizes, finishes, and trim options available. This allows you to tailor the look to your space, whether you want a bold centrepiece or something more subtle.
Freestanding & inset modern electric fires
Freestanding and inset electric fires are a flexible choice if your home doesn’t have an existing fireplace or chimney. Freestanding models can be placed where you need heat most and are often ready to use with minimal setup. Inset electric fires sit neatly within a surround or wall opening, giving a more built-in look without major work.
These options come in a wide range of styles, from bold modern designs to more subtle finishes, making them easy to match to different rooms, layouts, and budgets.

Once we understand your space, we recommend modern electric fires that fit your style and needs.
