Houzz editorial team. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

And what if your fireplace is, well, fireless? Below there are plenty of flame-free, decorative designs with logs, pebbles and more to fuel your thinking, so browse on.
