I am thinking of getting a ceramic convection space heater fo a room that doesn’t heat well. (For some reason the contractor ran the ducts on an outside wall and the last room on the ductwork will not warm up)

The room is small, so I don’t want to put it in the middle of the room where it can be bumped into. Can it be used next to a wall as long as there are no curtains furniture or bedding next to it?

I don’t know it that is unsafe but I would go to a handy store and ask them if this is safe. There are also usually “safe” labels and pictures on boxes when buy heaters telling you what not to do. Sorry I couln’t help more but I haven’t seen any answers yet so I figured I would at least give you a hint and see if you could get the answer by asking people at a hardware store; even if you call them by phone.
Whichever heater you buy should give you exact guidelines for how far it needs to be from wall. Keeping it away from curtains, furniture, and bedding is a good start. You should also be careful about leaving it running when you are not home. I’ve also seen heaters with a safety feature where they automatically shut themselves off if they get knocked over and over heat. I would definitely buy one with that feature.
