The perspective is off, but is it done on purpose?

I've been studying professionally made backgrounds and I keep running into situations where a handful of lines deviate from the appropriate vanishing point. In this case, it's anything marked red.

I have no doubts that sometimes the artist is just being loose and "close enough" is fine. However, there are other times where I suspect this was intentional. Look at that red line on the bed frame. If it were true to the vanishing point, the taper on that wood plank would be much sharper and might not look as good, same goes for the rug.

What do you think? Is this sometimes done on purpose or not?

Edit: Looks like my VP was a bit off. XD I was so sure, so that's a bit humbling.

Anyway, the issue remains the same. There are lines that don't converge and what I want to understand is whether or not this was done intentionally, and why?
