Design Spotlight: Guest Room Upgrade with a Simple Wall Mount Electric Fireplace

Do you want your guests to feel like they are staying at a luxurious resort? Houston home décor enthusiast Tangie Webb recently revamped her guest bedroom into a relaxing lounge with the addition of a Touchstone Sideline Elite® Smart Electric Fireplace. She opted for a wall hanging fireplace installation to save time and stay within budget.

Easy to Achieve High-End Designer Look

She shares the quick transformation on her YouTube channel House to Home Decorating TV with Tangie Webb. “My goal with the Sideline Elite 60" fireplace was to transform my bedroom into a luxurious, relaxing retreat while keeping the space warm and inviting,” Tangie explains, “I wanted to create a high-end designer look that homeowners could realistically achieve in their own homes. The fireplace became the focal point of the room, adding both elegance and functionality while elevating the overall design."

A Beautiful Accent Wall in Minutes

Tangie chose the versatile Sideline Elite model because it can be installed as a wall mount or wall insert electric fireplace. Like most Touchstone® fireplaces, the Sideline Elite includes a mounting bracket. Installation is easy – simply attach the mounting bracket to the wall and secure the fireplace on the bracket. Tangie positioned her fireplace under the TV and added ultra-modern wall sconces on either side.

Tangie plugged the fireplace into a standard electrical outlet. No professional wiring, gas line or building materials needed, this fireplace install is perfect for all DIY expertise levels.

Made For Wall Mount and Recessed Installation

The Sideline Elite Smart Electric Fireplace has a slim depth of 5-1/2 inches, making it easy to insert or hang directly on the wall. You can enjoy the fireplace without any extra framing - or you can build a bump out wall or surround to enclose the fireplace. The fireplace can also be directly inserted in the wall and hardwired.

Tangie reflects, “This project reinforced how much one thoughtfully chosen feature can completely transform a space. I also learned that installing an electric fireplace is an achievable project that delivers a dramatic impact without the complexity of a traditional fireplace. It reminded me that creating a beautiful home is about combining functionality with timeless design.”

Next Level Coziness and Realistic Flames

The Sideline Elite’s slim frame and large flame-viewing area perfectly complement luxurious and contemporary interior design. Tangie shares, “I chose the Sideline Elite 60" because of its sleek, modern design and the realistic flame presentation. The size was perfect for creating a dramatic statement wall without overwhelming the room. I also appreciated that it provides both beauty and supplemental heat, making it a practical addition as well as a stunning design feature.”

Tangie also loves her fireplace’s easily customizable settings and smart home technology. “My favorite features are the incredibly realistic flame effects, the customizable flame colors and brightness settings, the heating capability, and the convenience of controlling everything with the remote. I also love how quietly it operates and how effortlessly it creates a cozy, luxury atmosphere any time of the year.

Another Luxe Fireplace Accent Wall by Tangie

Tangie opted for a recessed fireplace installation in her daughter's home. She chose the Touchstone Sideline Deluxe Gold Smart Electric Fireplace, paired with marble style tile for this luxe accent wall.  She details, “This fireplace adds a beautiful touch of warmth and sophistication while serving as an elegant statement piece in her home. The gold finish complements the design perfectly and shows how an electric fireplace can function as both a practical heating solution and a striking decorative feature.”

Tangle adds, “As a home décor content creator, I'm always researching products that combine quality, style, and innovation. Touchstone consistently stood out as one of the leading brands for electric fireplaces, and I was impressed by the beautiful installations I saw online. After learning more about the company and its products, I knew it was a brand I wanted to work with.”
