-isolated countryside estate
-big, airy room with yellow wallpaper

The narrator's obsessed with the wallpaper even though in the beginning she simply describes it as a hideous and the worst wallpaper, the more she stays in the room the more her fascination with the hideous wallpaper grows.

The setting adds to the theme by creating a perfect environment for the story because it provided an isolated area, if not for this area she wouldn't have had the lack of stimulation The description of the room with the yellow wallpaper shows the changing of her mind in the story going from "The color is repellent, almost revolting..." (36) to becoming more interested and obsessive over it, "The front pattern DOES move—and no wonder" (180) which shows the change to her mental state as time goes on in that room.
