Electric fireplace mantels are essentially an electric fireplace housed in a fireplace surround.

They are designed to look like a traditional open fireplace, and the great thing about electric fireplace mantels is that you can bring the open fireplace experience into any room in your home.

Electric fireplace mantels can be placed up against a wall in your home to create the look and feel of a traditional open fireplace.

The electric fireplace unit itself can’t be painted but many people remove the fireplace (or mask it) and paint the surround a different color.

Electric Fireplace TV Stands

Electric fireplace TV stands are TV stands with an electric fireplace built into them.

These types of electric fireplace allow you to enjoy the look of flames while watching something, and help to reduce the amount of floor space taken up by integrating an electric fireplace and TV stand together.

Like with electric fireplace mantels, you won’t be able to paint the actual electric fireplace inside a TV stand but you can potentially paint the TV stand itself depending on the materials used to construct it.
