What color paint and window treatments should we choose?
My wife and I are about to renew our living room. We plan re-paint our walls, add new window treatments, and possibly add chair rails and moldings. We plan to maintain our black leather sofa and red leather armchairs. Media also have hardwood floors and dark brown brown baseboards and doors. The walls are now a shell texture egg white. Finally we have ample natural light from the sliding glass door and large windows of the room. Please suggestions on what color to paint our walls and treatment Suggested window for the sliding glass door and windows. If possible provide a web link to show the colors and treatments. By the way, we're looking for an aspect modern or exotic. Oh, you're not a fan of wallpaper. Beige paint can look?
First, you have to decide the style you want. Is it traditional? Modern? Exotic? Then decorate your home accordingly. If you like exotic influences, but does not want to go overboard, just has an accent piece here and there for example, use cushions with African motifs or have mini statues of elephants or Chinese-inspired vases or something. Since I did not mention it, I'm just going to give a suggestion based on what I like. I prefer a traditional look, just because I feel that is both elegant and comfortable. Since you have red arm chairs, why not have a little more red in the room? Maybe a red carpet for the lounge? O red pillows for the sofa black? Make sure the texture of the cushions and leather not clash, however. Or you could have red curtains and walls. If you go with curtain, make sure the stripes or a blackout material, because otherwise the light that enters your house when the curtains are drawn can be very disturbing. Oh, instead of curtains, perhaps you could use roman shades, stay away the vertical or horizontal blinds. (Except if you got the latter in the varieties of wood – the look so elegant!) Personally, I think it's best to keep the curtains a little more neutral, however. So, maybe use something more beige or curtains. Instead, use red on the walls, but not going crazy. I think the more burgundy, dark red colors that are better than bright red. Moreover, depending on your budget, you can choose to use wallpaper instead. With wallpapers, you could play with the patterns as well. I went with the beige wallpaper cream / with red accents and red borders. That look awesome! Or if you prefer the painting, the wall of his current looks good, maybe just paint a red wall. For example, if you have a fireplace, perhaps that wall may be red, and the rest could be more neutral? Otherwise, you could play up the browns of the wood floor and door. That would be great too. Play with textures. Look for material curtain is not clear to keep your house looking drab. Or, in reality it could maintain both the walls and neutral shades, and instead of having wood furniture again and keep your home bright. This will feel like a bigger, more open space. In addition, the play of light. You know how yellow lights and class white, daylight lamps? It can really change the atmosphere of your room. So decide what you like best, and then see whether to go with your decor. I mean, if you like the white guy, with natural light from the light (like the kind used in offices), then you probably will not work with red walls. The yellowish lights work best in this case, because it creates a particular environment. However, I would go with your preference the first light as you spend more time at home overnight. So if you do not like yellow lights, but they insist on using only to go with your decor, you probably will not like spending time in that room.

Does not look as good.

Sorry for not giving a short answer. I'm bored and I miss my dad interior decorator. Good luck with your house! 
EDIT:, beige goes well with both black and red, and is much better than white. Maybe you better post this question for the entry of more people:) Try to post when the traffic is a little heavier, so that more people reading.
