As many homeowners look for ways to modernise and refresh their interiors, the demand for luxury electric fires with a media wall is continually rising. Advancements in technology mean that customers are now able to enjoy a range of state-of-the-art features. With so many inspiring installations emerging, we spoke to Andy Hitchman, Managing Director of Solution Fires, who shares an insight into some of the latest industry trends.
Endless Media Wall Customisation Options
The Solution Fires range of modern electric fires features ultra-realistic flame effects in a variety of interchangeable colours, a choice of flame speeds, and even crackling fire audio. Building on these endless customisation options, our customers are getting more and more creative with their media wall designs.
Adding a Rustic Twist
Homeowners wishing to maintain a traditional, rustic element in their living space can still benefit from the amazing features of an electric fire. Adding a wooden beam is a great way to introduce character and charm to a media wall installation. If your customers opt for a simple media wall with no shelving or storage, a wooden beam can offer a place to display ornaments or trinkets.
Check out this range of Geocast Beams from Capital Fireplaces, a clever alternative to real wood and available in a variety of finishes.

Top tip: for the ultimate authentic flame display, the Solution Fires LUX range allows customers the choice of decorating their electric fire with premium real wood fuel beds.
Log-Filled Alcoves
Creating an attractive log store in a purpose-built alcove can provide a stunning addition to a media wall.
Having real logs stacked next to an electric fire can really enhance its visual impact, especially if your customer is opting for the premium real wood log fuel bed.
Almost completely effortless, yet incredibly effective, as pictured below

An Array of Lighting Options
Equipped with visually stunning LED itronic technology, Solution Fires provide one of the most realistic and versatile flame effects on the market.
With the Solution Fires’ LUX range, users can choose between seven stunning preset options, ranging from quirky cool blue tones such as ‘Ice’, to traditional flame colours like ‘Blaze’. By downloading the Solution App, customers can access further colour customisation options in addition to multiple other features and functions.
Lighting options that seamlessly integrate into the fires are available as optional extras to purchase. Creating a harmonious ambience between fire and media wall, the popular ‘Scene Lighting Kit’ is a simple and effective visual element that proves very popular with customers and enhances the overall effect of the installation.
