What you could do have a couple of baskets and place some logs inside. What you want to do is try to hide the carpet which is quite odd to have in a fireplace so you just need cover it as much as possible. You could add a rolled up blanket or some candles to the remaining areas.
You could fill it up entirely with logs as another possibility:
How odd to put carpet in a fireplace. I would suggest you made a hearth with a piece of stone - sandstone or slate or even tiles maybe - then you can dress it with candles, a pile of logs like Rukmini said, or a fire grate (loads of secondhand ones on eBay) and dress that with logs. I rather like the example below with a cluster of plants. You could also try an electric faux wood burner as minnie101 suggests. They are reasonably cheap (£100-£300) and most have an option to switch the light on without the heat if you so choose. Dimplex is a well known brand.
