Down low. This floor-level fireplace almost disappears visually. The artwork is the focal point, while the fireplace is a detail.

Curvy. Go crazy and install a round door for drama. The brilliant heart wood that scoops underneath the door is the best part of the whole fireplace.

Fire as art. Instead of hanging art on the wall, put up a fireplace that has an amazing art-like quality. Something like this is bound to be pricey but will immediately catch the eye of whoever enters the room.

Latst pic is most likely ethanol burning firepit. You can't rise the glass. You will not be able to add the liquid at least one of the glass is sliding. Idea is great but not always will work as you wish.
