This red wallpaper provides the continuity of red throughout this parlor. Why not just paint the wall red? Paper can provide subtle texture and pattern as well as color.
Since warm colors tend to advance, this means that they tend to draw in a space. This red living room feels more intimate because it's red. If the designer wanted to make the room feel more open and expansive, she would have chosen a cooler color.
left and right window treatments. See how far up the window treatment goes? and nicely centers the fireplace in the middle of the windows....but what about the windows on the side of our home? what to do there?
can't seem to get away from my appreciation for that colorful opulence, very Yves St Laurent.... maybe the current dining room, but converted to different use?

Warm colors tend to advance, so draw in a space. Red creates intimate feeling in this room. Cooler color would have made room feel more open & expansive.
