Fireplaces with white mantels have a sleek and modern look. You can seriously transform a dull living room into a stylish, inviting space with an inexpensive White Electric Fireplace – but which one should you buy?
Note: If these white mantel fireplaces are out of stock, check out the new Harland Electric Fireplace with high heat 1500 watt infrared heater. It plugs right into the wall for a quick, easy installation. Plus, it comes with a convenient remote control.
As you’ll see below, these 3 models have very similar functions. Your decision will basically come down to (1) Dimensions (2) Heat Output and (3) Price.
Fireplace Set-Up & Display Options:
You have several options when it comes to mantels, and electric fireplaces for that matter. In addition, you can “display” them in a number of different ways.
For example, you can create a sophisticated focal point against a floor-to-ceiling paneled wall backdrop. This designer strategy makes your fireplace stand out while making it appear larger due to the floor-to-ceiling wall texture behind it.
Think stone veneer, tile, wood planks, textured wallpaper or even paint with wood trim. Since you won’t be covering a large amount of wall space, this will keep costs low. =)
On the other hand, a white fireplace mantel can blend in with a white wall, giving a built-in appearance. This is ideal in minimalistic design, and if you want your fireplace to look like it is built-in of course.
In addition, a white electric fireplace can work to your benefit if you want to add a fireplace to a small master bedroom or den.
They only measure 13″-15″ deep. Therefore, they won’t overwhelm the space, but you can still enjoy a luxurious bedroom addition.
3 Ways Your Electric Fireplace Will Save You Money:
1. As with most electric fireplaces, each of these models requires assembly. This simple project is just like a paint-by-numbers assignment, and the DIY assembly means we can save a bunch of money.
2. Mantel materials include solid wood combined with veneered MDF (medium density fibreboard). Basically, this means you get a high-quality looking, strong and durable frame at a lower price.
3. In addition, Real Flame uses VividFlame LED technology to create their realistic-looking flames. LED bulbs last a long, long time, plus they use very little energy. Hence, you can save even more money!
