2025 Top Style Trends for Electric Fireplace Accent Walls

With help from our Touchstone For Pros network of builders, interior designers and home stylists, we have compiled the much-anticipated 2025 electric fireplace style trends. This year, we are seeing a greater embrace of soothing color palettes, natural accents and comforting simplicity in electric fireplace accent wall projects.

1. Cozy Minimalism

Cozy minimalist style blends clean design with soft, tactile comfort. The minimalist aesthetic reduces distractions to create a sense of calm. By design, an electric fireplace accent wall adds a relaxing focal point to the space.

This cozy minimalist bedroom renovation by @sweetboochie features a space-saving 36-inch wide Touchstone Sideline® Smart Electric Fireplace in a slim built-in accent wall. The mantel is just 5.5 inches deep and simply designed with elegant crown moulding. The fireplace heater adds extra warmth - literally and stylistically. The relaxing LED flames can be enjoyed with or without the heat. To see the project from start to finish, check out the Sweetboochie blog.

2. Modern Organic

On-trend neutrals mixed with elements of nature add a feeling of grounding to any room. The soothing hues you see outdoors - white, brown, taupe, beige, and blue - evoke serenity in the home. Jewel colors such as deep purples and greens are also rooted in nature and give a dash of glam style.

3. Japandi and Hygge Trends

Equally focused on simple comfort, Japandi and Hygge styles work well with Touchstone Electric Fireplaces. "Japandi" combines light and functional Scandinavian design with the warm craftsmanship of Japanese style. "Hygge" blends natural, neutral style with a feeling of well-being in your space.

4. Natural Elements

Marble, stone and tile deliver timeless, solid style to any room. These materials are easy to add to a bump out wall and accentuate a Touchstone® electric fireplace insert beautifully.

5. Architectural Accents

A big transformation can come from a simple change. Classic moulding, paneling and brick accents can give a new or renovated fireplace accent wall a comfortable vintage look.

When the Gilbert family @the.gilbert.house discovered their gas fireplace was malfunctioning, and their chimney was not up to code, they replaced the faulty fireplace with a Touchstone Sideline® 40 Smart Electric Fireplace. The 40-inch insert fits perfectly in the original opening. This simple fix saved the family thousands of dollars, and they were able to retain the original brick face mantel. Plus, this cool-to-the-touch fireplace does not need to be vented and does not emit gas fumes.

6. Clean Lines

Wood cladding and timber paneling continue to be popular elements to add texture, color and clean lines. Shiplap and slat wood, as well as board and battan are versatile electric fireplace accent wall coverings that can be painted to match any style.

For a fresh perspective, diagonal wood slats draw the eye to the fireplace accent wall.

Safer for a rental, VRBO or AirBnB property, an electric fireplace is an in-demand amenity (and great for top host reviews!)
