A Happy Hygge Home with the Coziest Electric Fireplaces

Add joy to your home with a Hygge mindset, comfy decor and an easy-to-enjoy Touchstone® Electric Fireplace. Hygge, pronounced "hoo-gah" is a Danish concept of well-being that has gained popularity in the U.S. through books, interior design trends and comfort food recipes.

The Hygge lifestyle is about creating an atmosphere of comfort, sort of like a hug to yourself. From a design slant, this means creating your own happy place, where you get contentment from simple pleasures like gathering with loved ones, reading, savoring comfort foods and slowing down. A room that embraces Hygge is decorated simply with soft fabrics, soothing neutrals and warm lighting.

Create Your Own Cozy Hygge Haven

With relaxing flames and carefree operation, Touchstone® Electric Fireplaces truly add comfort. The realistic LED flames are just as cozy with the built-in heater turned on or off - which means you can enjoy a Hygge home in any climate, without the stress of a real fire.

Turn any space into a Hygge-inspired cozy haven with the addition of a Touchstone® Electric Fireplace. The plug and play fireplace is designed for easy installation in any room - no chimney or venting needed.

Calming Natural, Neutral Colors

Pictured above, the DIY fireplace project by home decor influencer Natasha @50_shades_of_neutral brings the calmness of natural colors and earthy elements. The floor-to-ceiling ledger stone wall features The Sideline® 50 Smart Electric Fireplace and Encase® 60" Espresso Mantel.

Natasha loves that she can still enjoy the realistic LED flames with the heater shut off. She shares, “Even in the August heat with the AC blasting, I find myself curled up by the fire, in awe that we finally have one. The best part? I can enjoy the flicker of the flames without turning on the heater.”

A Place to Relax with Family and Friends

For the Spring 2024 One Room Challenge®, DIYer Marissa @marissacalhome completely transforms her blank wall with a Touchstone Sideline® Steel Forte Electric Fireplace. The Forte has a classic shape and non-reflective screen, making it a great fit for anyone who wants a traditional-looking fireplace. The surrounding built-in benches and floating shelves add storage space with a cozy vibe.

Marissa explains, “I was going for traditional-yet-minimalist look for this surround...The painted white wood plus marble leans traditional. The layered straight lines of the waterfall mantel are pretty minimalist. The marble surround is actually large-format porcelain floor tile that I had to cut down with my tiny wet saw.”
