Do you have limited square footage in your bedroom? Blogger Heather of Sweetboochie details her thin electric fireplace built-in project, designed to fit in her small bedroom.
To accommodate the narrow wall area, Heather and her husband opt for the Sideline® 36 Smart Electric Fireplace (5.5” deep and 36” wide). Heather explains, “We always wanted a fireplace in our bedroom mainly for viewing the flame (vs. heat) because we like to sleep in a cold room.” Ideal for this project, the Sideline® Electric Fireplace flames can be enjoyed with the heat turned on or off.

Heather shares, “Our bedroom is small, so we really wanted to keep the built-in slim so it didn’t protrude out into the room too much.” The 6-1/4" frame accommodates the depth of the 5-1/2" fireplace. The Touchstone Sideline® 36 is just the right size to visually complement the Samsung® Frame TV mounted above.
“We are so happy to have it complete just in time for the cold winters in the Northeast. It makes the room so cozy and warm.” Visit the Sweetboochie blog for detailed steps in this project and the final reveal.
Another fireplace accent wall featuring the Touchstone® Sideline Smart Electric Fireplace collection, this classic shiplap project adds warmth and style to a builder grade bedroom.
DIYers Gridiron and Grace share their step-by-step master bedroom fireplace wall build on their YouTube channel. They also include their unfinished Touchstone Encase Floating Shelf Mantel staining and installation.

“I love shiplap,” Emily of Gridiron and Grace shares in the tutorial video. “It is definitely my style. I just think it looks so clean and pretty.”
Gridiron and Grace chose the Touchstone Unfinished Encase® Floating Shelf Mantel and stained it in a rustic chestnut color to enhance the shiplap style.
Emily notes, "Kenny said that the installation of this was so super simple. Just follow the instructions and just attach to that wooden piece and it looks beautiful on this wall.” She continues, “They [Touchstone] do pride themselves on the easy installation because the spec sheets are so easy to follow.”
Emily also compliments the Touchstone® brand on its advanced smart technology, easy customization, and safety features. “I also love that it has a cool touch front panel so this is going to be safe when operating around children or pets.”
