Pairing the right electric fire with your TV size is one of the most important decisions when designing a media wall. Get it right and the whole installation feels balanced and intentional. Get it wrong and the proportions can feel off, even if everything else is done well.

Use this guide as a starting point to choose a fire size that works visually with your TV and overall layout.

Quick size guide: use this as a visual reference before choosing your fire.

Sizes are a general guide. Final proportions depend on your wall width and layout.

For TVs 50–55 Inches

• Recommended fire width: 40–50 inches
• Design tip: Keep the fire the same width as the TV or slightly narrower for a clean, proportional look.
• Suggested product: Borderless Full Glass Media Wall Electric Fire Insert

For TVs 65 Inches

• Recommended fire width: 50–60 inches
• Design tip: Matching the fire width to the TV or going slightly narrower keeps the layout looking balanced without feeling crowded.
• Suggested product: Luvelle 60 Inch 3D Panoramic Media Wall Electric Fire

For TVs 75 Inches

• Recommended fire width: 60–72 inches
• Design tip: Larger TVs need a wider fire to avoid the wall feeling top-heavy. This is where panoramic and 3-sided fires start to work best visually.
• Suggested product: Woodford Hestia 72 Inch 3-Sided HD+ Media Wall Electric Fire Insert

For TVs 85 Inches

• Recommended fire width: 70 inches or wider
• Design tip: A wide panoramic fire helps anchor a large TV and ensures the installation feels deliberate rather than undersized.
• Suggested product: Solution Fires LUX 200 HD 2000mm Panoramic Electric Fire

What Happens If You Get the Size Wrong?

• Too small: The fire gets lost beneath the TV and the wall feels unfinished
• Too large: The installation can feel heavy and dominate the space
• Unbalanced proportions: The media wall loses that clean, built-in look

Additional Considerations

• Fire height: Position the fire low enough so the TV remains at a comfortable viewing height when seated
• Framing space: Leave breathing room around both the TV and fire for a cleaner finish
• Style preference: Decide whether you want symmetry with the TV or a fire that stands out more as a feature
