Hi there.
I have just signed up to a private rental tenancy on a lovely house (from the outside lol) The thing is the interior is, well a little dated. For example the kitchen has the 70s cream with brown cupboard doors etc, and the tiles are another cream with light brown pictures on, probably of a farm or some wheat or something, can't remember but you know what I mean right? Oh and the floor tiles are the same again, a few different shades of brown thrown all over the place.
The living room is a lovely long space with bay window and isn't so bad, the walls and carpet are creamy colour and plain so I guess that's a good thing. But it has this long brick built fireplace that goes down from the middle of the room to the bay window in the corner which has a ledge all the way down what you put your TV etc on, it also has a space in it where I'm thinking you'd put some kind of ornament or picture frame? My grandmas actully has something very simelar in her house.
The bathroom is quite big complete with be-day (not sure how to spell that) and the bathroom suite is... you guessed it cream with creamy brown tiles. But it does have a nice light laminate floor.
The bedrooms are again quite creamy/brown. The main bedrooms have a full wall of built in wardrobes, the wooden slots kind, painted white.
As it's rented I can't change much, maybe freshen it up with a lick of paint but it would have to be the same colours. So I'm wondering if there is any way I could make it look cool and stylish, maybe even funky lol, using accessories like new curtains etc? I would quite like to embrace the 70's style but make it less brown and cream, maybe bright but keeping to the 70's theme? I think it would look a bit daft if I tried to put modern stuff in it. I will need to buy curtains etc anyway so what colours should I go for? Also I already have a small 3 seater and 2 seater leather sofa that I will be taking for the living room, but it's quite old and scratched (from the cats) and is faux leather and BROWN!!! So I'm going to get throws in a different colour for them.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance :)
