Electric Fireplace Build Plans

The BEST addition you can make to your home is an electric fireplace wall!

Imagine snuggling up with a book or your person or to your favorite TV show in the calm light and warm heat of a fireplace that you don't have right now. Add to that the satisfaction of installing this yourself. Done!

These plans are designed to go from blank wall to fireplace in no time!

One summer, I knew that I wanted an electric fireplace in a nook in our primary bedroom. I set out to do the project quickly and cheaply but make it look great. I had two designs that I wanted to implement but only one wall. I've adapted the plans from my original design (we have some weird 45-degree angle walls in our home) to fit any blank wall in any home! The results are the plans you see here.

So if you want a jumpstart on the next project or a design you could upsell and install in other homes for some extra green, check these out. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
