I would give the same suggestion as Mel, I do pillows out of the same fabric as the drapes onto the furniture. I would also work a bit of green into the design scheme, green is the best friend of red and gold!
Are the kitchen wondows visible from the living room? If they are, you might wish to give some thought to using the same window treatments in both rooms to give som continuity and flow.

Thank you very much. I love the tassles, especially the first one. What do you think of the below options?

Well now! There you have it redlove! Ya gotta throw that bit of green into the mix...you heard it from the expert! That's too funny kshegirl...you and me, we obviously think alike....you know what they say about those great minds?

I gotta say, I still really like the stripes in this collection.....with tassels, these stripes would look marvelous. Instead of going with identical fabrics in the living room and dining room/kitchen you could do the underlaying color in the living room the same as the main one in the dining room. Designer selected matching fabric for the proffesional decorating touch. Upholstery fabric, drapery fabric, solid fabric Course, you'd still have to do the throw pillows in this fabric....hehe...and maybe rethink the rug? Sorry.....hehe.... been cutting roof underlayment most of the afternoon, needed some creativity here!

I LOVE the first stripe also

This one:
Davis Ruby

Now I am confused. I do not know which one to choose

I would take these 2 fabrics and do pillows with them(losing some of the present pillows on the furniture, its too much of a good thing), as well as window treatments. I do like a stripe, but its been my experience that a little bit of stripe goes a long way.
Eclipse Cajun 67rayon 33polyester 54wide railroaded h:1 v:1.25

Oakville Stripe Cinnabar, Waverly

I would also think about doing the chairs that are going into the nook in these fabrics as well. I have 2 fabrics on my dining room chairs, its a very custom look.

I played with the colors a little bit. Here are what I have :-) (Please see the attached pictures)

I like the second one on the left the best! Its rich looking, without being pretentious. Lovelovelove those tassles!
The stripes are just a bit distracting, the diamond pattern blends in. Window treatments shouldnt be the first thing you notice in a room, you know?

[redlove]

I thought maybe it is helpful to post the pictures of my dining room and library. We chose the earth tones for these two rooms. Dining room has the dark green and tan color.
