There’s no doubt about it, fall is here and personally, I couldn’t be more ready for it. From the changing leaves, cool, brisk air - it’s all part of the Fall charm and what’s better than coming home to a warm and toasty fire in the fireplace and a mug of warm cider in your hands? Many older homes feature built-in fireplaces
but what do you do if you live in an apartment? With the housing market where it is today, many people are scrapping plans to buy their own homes, opting instead to rent, which typically means less flexibility as far as making expensive home improvements like installing a fireplace. While electric fireplaces aren’t anything new, a new trend amongst furniture and fireplace manufacturers is producing TV stands with built-in electric fireplaces.

While an unusual concept to grasp, these pieces are designed to fit in with your home decor. Available in a variety of finishes and styles, you can combine both form and function to maximize the space of your living room, den - even your bedroom! When working with limited space, it’s essential that you find furniture that serves double duty and these TV stand fireplaces are a perfect way to do that! Most models on the market today feature storage space for multimedia equipment and accessories, while some even have space for your DVDs, video games, CDs and other media. You can even purchase a corner TV stand with a fireplace insert to fit in a smaller or unconventionally shaped room. Way more attractive than a space heater, a fireplace TV stand is a stylish solution to watching TV wrapped in blankets.

In addition to these TV stands being ideal for smaller spaces, they are also eco-friendly! Electric fireplaces, in general are much safer on the environment than gas fireplaces. While they might not have the same charm as a wood burning fire place, they are safer and easier to maintain. Easy to install, you simply have to plug it into a standard 120-volt outlet and you’re good to go. The fireplace can be easily removed for cleaning and features an LED insert with special fire effects to make it feel even more like the real thing. Classic Flame prides itself on its vent free fireplaces, bringing that same technology to this line of TV stand fireplaces. Most feature an electric heater and blower as well as thermostatic and dimmer control. Some even allow you to turn off the heater and still use the fire for visual affect.

TV stands are designed, in part to eliminate clutter and organize your multimedia equipment. A fireplace TV stand does just that with the additional benefit of providing a source of heat that’s both clean and pleasing to the eye.
