Don't be boxed in to one fireplace style. If you prefer traditional style, but want a linear electric fireplace, you can surround the fireplace with decorative elements that reflect your style. In our showroom, we've installed this linear fireplace into a shiplap wall, and placed a Stoll Industries transitional mantel beam above. We've even added real fireplace tools and stacked firewood. We call it updated traditional. What do you think?
