When decorating spaces where dates are likely to start or end, designer Brian Patrick Flynn suggests playing with reflective surfaces and passionate hues such as fire engine red. In this condo for a bachelor, Flynn covered hallways with a glossy graphic red wallpaper, added a red chinoiserie barstool, then introduced reflective surfaces with chrome and crystal light fixtures and mercury glass mirrors.
