If you’ve been searching for an electric fireplace TV stand, you know how challenging it can be to find one that’s the right style and size to suit your space. And then there’s the added challenge of balancing out the TV size with the fireplace size. Because electric fireplaces don’t have any combustion, it’s easy to create TV stands with them. However, most electric fireplace TV stands are designed with very small fireplaces flanked by storage cabinets. Given that the most popular TV sizes are 55-inches and larger, having a small fireplace in the TV stand below will look unbalanced. Ideally, you would be able to have an electric fireplace that’s at least as wide as your TV. Unfortunately, that’s not how electric fireplace TV stands are generally designed. With that in mind, we have come up with 5 stylish alternatives for your TV wall.
Amantii contemporary display cabinet
Amantii has designed a ready-to-assemble metal cabinet to fit several of their electric fireplaces. Because this simple, modern cabinet has an open display area below the fireplace, it can do double duty as a TV stand. The black, powder-coated metal cabinet is made exclusively to fit the following Amantii electric fireplaces:
- TRD-26
- TRD-30 & TRD-30-BESPOKE
- TRD-33 & TRD-33-BESPOKE
- TRD-38 & TRD-38-BESPOKE
- SYM-50-XT & SYM-50-XT-BESPOKE
The cabinet ships in a flat box, ready to be assembled at your location, so it’s easily shipped across Canada. If you already own one of the fireplaces listed above, you can order the cabinet separately. Otherwise, simply add it on to your fireplace order, and you’ll soon have an electric fireplace TV stand that’s a perfect partner for your TV and your room.
Stoll wall cabinet
As specialists in fireplace accessories, Stoll is best known for manufacturing high-quality fireplace doors, screens and tools. With the rise in popularity of electric fireplaces, they have branched into products that complement electric fires. Their latest addition is a wall cabinet that may be made to fit linear electric fireplaces up to 74-inches wide, and up to 14-inches deep. This means that the wall cabinet may double as a TV stand by offering enough depth to support the TV or other electronic devices that are attached to the TV. This wall cabinet also offers enough width to balance out even the larger 75-inch TVs that are quickly becoming more popular.
Like most Stoll products, the wall cabinet for electric fireplaces is made to order, so you get to choose from over 24 finish colours to truly personalize it for your space. There’s even an optional ‘stove pipe’ for the top, to add to the authenticity of the design. The opening in the cabinet is custom-fitted to your choice of electric fireplace. This is a semi-custom option for adding an electric fireplace TV stand to your home.
Napoleon Stylus – Cara & Steinfeld wall-mounted fireplaces
Napoleon Stylus cabinets feature 32-inch fireboxes in wall-mounted cabinets that include an open shelf on one side. This means that they offer a place to set up any electronics that may connect to your TV. Both the black & white Cara and the walnut Steinfeld are asymmetrical in design, so they may be off-set with the TV if desired. Like most electric fireplaces, they offer flames with or without heat, for year-round flexibility. If you do mount your TV above, you can rest assured that it will be safe from overheating, as the heat form the fireplace will be blowing down toward the floor and not up toward your TV.
The side shelf on a Stylus fireplace has its own light, as well as a USB charging station, so it can act as a display shelf or a resting place for your mobile devices. The Cara cabinet is 59.5 inches wide, while the Steinfeld cabinet is 53-inches wide. While the Stylus cabinets are designed to be wall-mounted, they may also be set up on top of another cabinet, if preferred. Stylus Cara and Stylus Steinfeld are great budget-friendly alternatives to an electric fireplace TV stand, without sacrificing style and storage.
Napoleon Pictura electric fireplaces
With the rise in the popularity of streaming, many of us don’t have bulky electronics attached to our TVs. If storage is not a priority, you can embrace the minimalist look of the Napoleon Pictura in place of an electric fireplace TV stand. Pictura comes in 50 or 60-inch widths: NEFL50H-3SV & NEFL60H-3SV, so it can balance out a 55-inch or 65-inch TV, respectively. This linear electric fireplace has been purpose-built to hanging on the wall and may not be installed into a wall. It is finished all around, so there are no unsightly screws or labels to take away from the sleekness. There’s also glass on the sides, and the front glass angles back so that heat blows down over the glass from a hidden heat grille. This means that it will not affect the electronics in your TV, above. While it may not technically be a TV stand, it is a great no-construction alternative for placing an electric fireplace below your TV.
Stoll mantel ledges
If you prefer to have your electric fireplace built into the wall below the TV, but you still need a shelf to hold a soundbar or other small electronic devices, consider adding a Stoll mantel ledge between the fireplace and the TV. When you don’t need the storage that’s offered in a typical electric fireplace TV stand, a mantel ledge might be the perfect compromise. Stoll mantel ledges are made to order out of heavy steel, in any one of over 24 finish colours. The ledge itself is hollow, and fits over a wall-mounted bracket, like a sleeve. They can be made as shallow as 5-inches and as deep as 12-inches. You can also customize your mantel ledge by adding decorative brackets, LED lights, or Bluetooth speakers to the bottom of the shelf.
Summary
As you can see, there are many ways to get creative with your TV and fireplace feature wall. You no longer have to settle for a regular electric fireplace TV stand. The experts at Stylish Fireplaces are always ready to discuss your design ideas and offer suggestions.
