Electric Fireplace

An Electric Fireplace may be exactly what your game room calls for, especially if you have a basement game room and live in a cold winter state. And there is a large variety to of beautiful electric fireplaces to choose from!

They serve a dual purpose in my opinion. For one they put out heat and two, they look great and you can match them to your rooms look most of the time. Concerning the heat output…





Many have dual heat settings, for high heat using more electricity and low heat using half the amount of electricity but in my experience even on a low setting you still have pretty good heat. Also they don’t cost a lot to use compared to running your furnace to warm your whole house including the basement game room.

The Different Looks of an
Electric Fireplace

Yes they do look pretty good these days, almost like the real thing except you have no wood to chop or ashes to clean up or carpet to vacuum after cleaning your fireplace. You need not go outside to empty your ash box in a foot of snow. And they look real, did I mention that and they can turn a home game room into a cozy game room that all will enjoy to use.

There are a variety of looks to electric fireplaces but probably the best for home game rooms would be the full size fireplace with mantle and surrounding frame. They give the look of the real thing. Or the Electric Fireplace Store that looks like an original antique wood stove. Those look good in corners of rooms. Here are a few other choices you have. By all means this is not a complete list but some popular choices.

Dimplex Electric Fireplaces with Cherry Finished Mantle.

Granite Top and Faux Stone Electric Fireplace.

Red or White Brick Façade Fireplaces.

All White Contemporary Look and Fell Fireplace.

The Electric Stove Look.

Large Stone or Rock Surround Fireplaces.

Media Center / Electric Fireplace – TV goes on top of the cabinet with fake fire in the cabinet below.

Roll Away Fireplace – If you want to move it around the room.

Wall Mount Style to keep it off the floor.

Electric Fireplace Inserts – These are good for rooms that already have a natural fireplace that you’re turning into electric. Basically all you need to do is insert, plug in and you have a great non-mess looking fireplace.

Where To Put Your Electric Fireplace?

When dealing with home game rooms you may have limited space. So you need to choose wisely as to where to put an electric fireplace. I say, if you can create a small cozy corner with a small couch with carpet then go for it and have the fireplace up against the wall then that would be a great area for friends to gather, chat and snack as others play billiards, darts etc.

I believe a home game room can be turned into a room to be used all year round for a variety of purposes, of course the main purpose being for playing fun games with family and friends. But a small entertainment area with movie screen if possible combined with an electric fireplace would really make your game room something special.
