I cover all things shopping, from cleaning and organizing finds to decor and furniture that’s worth every penny. Your home says a lot about you, so I’m always curious about the things people choose to bring into their space — and aim to make it easier to find those things!

I grew up in Miami, so cold weather was a rare treat. It’s probably why New York winters seem kind of magical to me. Of course, after just a few weeks, the magic has worn off and I’m ready to warm up my home. This includes buying warmer bedding, finding ways to warm up my space, and, most importantly, shopping for a space heater.

Because I live in a small apartment, I wasn’t excited about buying another home appliance. But then I found the Duraflame Tabletop Portable Electric Heater & Fireplace on QVC — and I’m convinced it’ll fulfill all my cozy cabincore fantasies this winter. Here’s why I’ll be ordering one ASAP. 

What Is the Duraflame Tabletop Portable Electric Heater & Fireplace?

It’s a portable electric heater that heats spaces up to 400 square feet, while creating the look of a crackling fireplace. Equipped with two heat settings, the heater seems easy to use and even easier to store. Its compact measurements — 14.7 inches wide by 7.9 inches deep, and 10.5 inches tall — make it perfectly sized for a desktop, media console, or dresser. 

While some heaters can be a bit of an eyesore, the Duraflame’s faux fireplace has a stylish wood frame (available in three finishes) that brings the cutest cabincore aesthetic to any room in the house. It’s essentially the closest I’ll ever come to having a real fireplace in my tiny apartment, and just what I need to prepare for the colder months ahead while keeping my Nancy Meyers-esque winter fantasies alive.

All in all, QVC shoppers love the look of the Portable Electric Heater & Fireplace and how effectively it cozies up a room. Plus, it boasts a small-space-friendly design. I’m totally sold; I might just grab one for my living room and another for my bedroom.
