          • Need color/window treatment help, Ok so at first I was really loving my living room arrangement, and I still am, but the lack of color in the fireplace corner is bumming me out!! I'm thinking long panels?? I would just throw up some burgundy panels and call it good, BUT the problem with that, is that my dining room is burgundy, and if I do window treatments in the living room, I want to do the same ones in the dining room, because the windows in both rooms face the front of the house, and since the house is very symmetrical outside, it looks goofy from outside if the window treatments aren't the same. So, since plain burgundy won't work in the dining room, I need other suggestions. Brown, tan or white, with some burgundy in it, maybe?? Does everyone agree that long panels would look good?, Living Rooms Design
