Wall-mounted fireplaces use electricity, gas or gel to create heat, and, unlike other fireplaces, don't require a mantel for their installation. This can be both a blessing and a curse. In traditional decor, much of the decorating that's done around the fireplace heavily utilizes both the hearth and mantel. However, with wall-mounted fireplaces, these items are truly optional. While it does take away some of the traditional elements of decorating around a fireplace, it also adds different options. Does this Spark an idea?
