We're loving the easy availability of electric fireplaces these days. If your house didn't come with a fireplace, it's pretty much as easy to get one as choosing, ordering and placing it in your home (although some seem to have more assembly involved than others, and the ones that need to be wall mounted probably require some degree of skill with tools to get it up there safely).
You can pretty much find an electric fireplace from $99 and up. The fancier and larger they get, the more expensive. The examples below are over $500 but still under $700.
Here are some of our favorite examples of how they can be worked in with the rest of a room's decor:
We love the color behind this wall-mounted fireplace (Napoleon 39").
