Clowne, DerbyshireAurelian Media Wall - Signature 1500 three-sided electric fire
Discover how we transformed Alan Thompson's living room in Clowne, Derbyshire, with a bespoke Aurelian Media Wall featuring a Signature 1500 three-sided electric fire, real birch logs, natural split face tiles and integrated LED lighting.
For Alan Thompson in Clowne, Derbyshire, creating a modern focal point for his living room was about more than simply installing a new fireplace. He wanted a feature that combined the warmth and atmosphere of a contemporary electric fire with a dedicated space for the television. Helping to bring everything together in one carefully designed installation.
After exploring the options available at Mansfield Fireplace & Stove Centre, Alan chose our Aurelian Media Wall. The electric fireplace features a three-sided Signature 1500 electric fire, real birch logs and Oyster Natural Split Face Tiles. The finished installation has transformed the living room into a stylish, welcoming space for relaxing with family and entertaining guests.
Creating a Contemporary Living Room Centrepiece
Alan wanted to introduce a more luxurious feel to his living room without sacrificing the practical features needed for everyday living. Rather than having a separate television and fireplace competing for attention, the aim was to create one seamless feature that would complement the existing interior.
Our Aurelian Media Wall provided the ideal starting point. Its contemporary design and clean lines allowed us to incorporate the television and electric fire into a single structure, with carefully selected materials adding texture and character.
The installation included:
- Aurelian bespoke media wall
- Signature 1500 three-sided electric fire
- Real birch log fuel bed
- Remote-controlled flame effects and heating
- 1.5kW electric heater
- Oyster Natural Split Face Tiles
- Integrated LED spotlights
- Dedicated television positioning
The combination of the three-sided fire, natural stone-effect detailing and feature lighting creates an impressive centrepiece that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
A fantastic team of workers and we now have a beautiful media wall. We love it!
Why Alan Chose Mansfield Fireplace & Stove Centre
Choosing a company to install a bespoke media wall involves more than finding a design you like. Customers also need confidence that the installation will be carefully planned, professionally managed and completed to a high standard.
For Alan, our experience, specialist product knowledge and ability to manage the different elements of the installation were important factors in his decision.
From discussing the original design through to choosing the electric fire, decorative tiles and lighting, our team helped bring his ideas together into a practical installation suited to his living room.
The finished project demonstrates how thoughtful design, quality materials and experienced installers can completely change the appearance of a living space.
The Signature 1500 Three-Sided Electric Fire
At the heart of Alan's new media wall is the Signature 1500 electric fire, chosen for its generous proportions and three-sided viewing design.
Unlike a traditional front-facing electric fire, a three-sided installation allows the flame display to be appreciated from additional angles within the room. This creates a greater sense of depth and makes the fireplace a more prominent part of the overall design. The addition of real birch logs brings a natural appearance to the fuel bed, while the remote control makes it easy to adjust the fire's settings from the comfort of the sofa.
With a built-in 1.5kW heater, the fire can also provide supplementary warmth when required. The visual flame effects create an inviting atmosphere without needing to rely on the heating function throughout the year.
Excellent service all round. Special thanks to the installer Dean, the 'electrical' team, the plasterer Cole and the tilers Lee and Kat.
Natural Textures and Carefully Planned Lighting
One of the standout features of this installation is the use of Oyster Natural Split Face Tiles. These introduce texture and contrast against the clean lines of the Aurelian Media Wall, giving the finished design additional depth and character. Rather than relying entirely on smooth surfaces, the combination of materials creates a more distinctive appearance.
Integrated LED spotlights provide the finishing touch, helping highlight the decorative features and allowing the customer to create a softer atmosphere in the evenings.
Together, the electric fire, tiled surfaces and lighting give the installation a contemporary feel while retaining the warmth and character of a traditional fireplace.
Overcoming the Challenges of a Bespoke Installation
Although the finished media wall appears seamless, achieving the correct proportions required careful planning throughout the installation.
One of the main considerations was positioning the Signature 1500 electric fire and television so that both elements worked together visually. Accurate measurements were essential to create a balanced design while allowing sufficient space for the electrical connections, cable management and ventilation requirements.
The construction also needed to accommodate the three-sided fire and decorative tiled surfaces without compromising the overall finish.
Our installation team carefully coordinated the different stages of the project, from the initial framework and electrical work through to plastering and tiling. Particular attention was given to the joins, edges and surrounding surfaces to ensure everything came together neatly.
The result is a bespoke installation where the individual components work together as one complete feature.
Professional Installation from Start to Finish
A successful media wall installation depends on the experience of the people carrying out the work, particularly when multiple trades are involved. For Alan's project, Dean completed the main installation, supported by our electrical team, plasterer Cole and tilers Lee and Kat.
Each stage required careful coordination to ensure the construction, electrical work and decorative finishes were completed to the required standard.
The quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of everyone involved were particularly appreciated by Alan, who took the time to recognise the individual members of the installation team in his Google review.

FAQs About Media Walls
The cost of a bespoke media wall depends on the size of the installation, the electric fire selected and the materials and additional features required. Three-sided electric fires, decorative tiling, integrated lighting and bespoke construction can all influence the final price. At Mansfield Fireplace & Stove Centre, we provide quotations based on the customer's chosen design and installation requirements.
Yes. Three-sided electric fires are a popular choice for contemporary media walls because they allow the flame display to be viewed from the front and sides. The structure must be designed around the manufacturer's installation requirements, including the appropriate clearances and ventilation.
Yes, provided the media wall is correctly designed and the fire manufacturer's installation requirements are followed. The positioning of the television, electrical connections, heat management and available space must all be considered during the planning stage.
Some electric fires can incorporate real log fuel beds to create a more natural appearance. The Signature 1500 installed in this Clowne property features real birch logs, combining the visual appeal of natural timber with the convenience of an electric flame effect.
Many modern electric fires allow the flame effects to operate independently of the heater, making them suitable for creating atmosphere throughout the year. The available settings depend on the specific fire model.
A 1.5kW electric heater uses up to 1.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity for every hour it operates continuously at full power. For example, at an electricity rate of 25p per kWh, this would cost approximately 38p per hour. Actual running costs depend on your tariff, heat settings and how frequently the heater operates.
Yes. Decorative tiling and integrated lighting can be incorporated into many bespoke media wall designs. Alan's Aurelian installation features Oyster Natural Split Face Tiles and LED spotlights, creating additional texture and atmosphere around the electric fire.
