Espresso Electric Fireplace

Espresso color is dark, sophisticated wood finish. Named after the tiny coffee beverage, espresso is a shade of dark brown that is sometimes mistaken for black. However, just like concentrated coffee, when this “black” wood catches the light, the chocolate brown hues come through, sometimes accompanied by warm red tones. Lighting makes the biggest difference for how this shade looks; in a dark or interior room, it will most likely appear black, but with natural light streaming in through a window, the color becomes a richer brown.

Espresso is a contemporary decorating favorite, as it gives a bold, chic look. It pairs well with some cool colors like blues, greens, and grays, but it can also be paired with bolder accent colors. Because it is so close in appearance to black, this shade is versatile enough that color-coordinating won’t be a problem. Many different metals look good with this color, including stainless steel, nickel, and even bronze, so it can be paired with any other metallic decoration you’ve got.

This warm color may be the perfect choice for your electric fireplace. Realistic looking flames and richly stained wood can help create the perfect cozy, yet sophisticated ambience your space needs. This energy efficient alternative to gas fireplaces will also provide literal warmth as the mini space heater gets to work. Since it is electric, there is also absolutely no mess—enjoy the benefits of fire without dealing with soot, ash, or smoke residue.

An espresso electric fireplace will be a versatile accent piece to any number of rooms—bedrooms, kitchen, living room, den. With no extensive installation required, these portable units can be plugged in anywhere you want. An espresso electric fireplace can also be a good investment, because you can take it with you if you move. Most models also function as an entertainment center, providing a safe set-up for relaxing in front of the hearth to watch TV. Some units even include shelving for books, records, photos, etc. Store and display anything you like without worrying about creating a fire hazard.
