Hi southerngirl, welcome to DIY,

You have a nice LR and I think that you should take advantage of the wood and the fireplace, making it the focal point

(SW #--> reference colors - Sherwin Williams)

The fireplace wall--> consider the use of a different color (in the right side of the 1st image, I used SW 6069 French Roast). Other option is the use of a Faux finish with a burgundy hint (in the left side of the 1st image I used Red English with clear wax sealer)
Walls--> A light brown / beige color will provide integration. In the first picture I used SW 6064 Reticence . In the second picture I used SW 6066 Sand Trap
Molding--> Consider a crown molding to enhance the wood finishing
Rug--> The rug nees to blend the reds and browns, avoiding neutral tones (see second picture)

These are more or less my suggestions
