A fireplace has always been an indispensable element in rich homes or apartments. So now he has not gone out of fashion. However, in modern apartments to build a real fireplace is possible only in extremely rare cases, since it requires numerous permits of security services. However, here you can find a way out. For example, an artificial fireplace will decorate your interior, it will practically not differ from this product and will give heat.
It has several advantages:
- beautiful appearance;
- A variety of designs (which will allow you to purchase exactly the model that will be in harmony with the environment);
- light weight;
- the possibility of heating the room;
- providing the effect of a living flame;

An artificial fireplace can also have additional functions, for example, a built-in bar. It is quite functional, because it can work as a heater or just as a decorative element. And it can also be moved from one place to another. It should also be noted that the product can be placed not only on the floor.
The artificial fireplace works from a conventional outlet, which should be close enough to it. There are several varieties of products presented: inserts and wall units. The first type is an ordinary electric firebox, which must be inserted into a prepared niche. In principle, such devices can be sold complete with a decorative design (cabinet). In this case, it can even be used as a TV stand.
Artificial fireplaces in the apartment can be decorated independently. That is, you can make a portal yourself and finish it with stucco or artificial stone. In principle, you can apply any material, since it is not necessary to use a refractory finish. Wall-mounted devices have a small thickness, so they can easily be hung like a picture. Therefore, you can install such a fireplace even in a small room. The shape of the device can also be different, for example, square, rectangular and even round. The wall-mounted version can be equipped with a heat fan, which will provide the necessary air temperature in the room.
Artificial fireplace has several operating modes. For example, it can simulate roasted embers or flames. All this is provided by special LED lamps, which can glow in different colors and give such an effect. Sometimes small sparks are imitated in the fireplace, which curl over crackling firewood (all this may be accompanied by a corresponding sound).
There are also special electric stoves that resemble a barbecue with smoldering firewood. This design can be placed anywhere, even on a table. Naturally, with such a device you need to be very careful, since it is an open source of heat.
Thus, the artificial fireplace in the interior is a real decoration of your apartment.
