From a safety point of view, you’ll need to make sure that the fireplace is kept clear of fabrics that may overheat and ignite. Even though there is no real fire, which means less of a hazard, you still don’t want flammable fabrics to get caught within the heating vents.

To create a really homely feel, you can get a mantel fireplace. It’ll allow you to put ornaments and other items near the fireplace, so it becomes a more welcoming feature. This is especially important if the wall around your fireplace is bare, because that can make your fireplace seem small. The same applies if the color is completely plain, although this can be negated if you have things like pictures on the wall.

A mantel fireplace is extremely easy to set up. You put it together in a similar way to flat-pack furniture and insert the fireplace, which plugs into an outlet.
