I’m Ordering This Small-Space-Friendly Item for Cozy Cabincore Vibes This Winter

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. 

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.
