Decorating apartment livingroom and kitchen?

Question

I just moved into a 4 bedroom apartment at college with 3 other friends. We need some help decorating our living room and kitchen.

The kitchen has space on top of the cabinets we want to decorate and a wall as you come into the apartment, about 5 feet long.

The living room has a huge window on the back wall and then two long walls, one with the couch and the other with the tv. The dining table is off to the side near the tv. There is a chair in front of the window.

We cannot paint. And we cannot put large nails in the walls (small ones and pushpins are fine, and command strips are okay). We want something fun but not tacky. We are on a low budget as well, but if its nice we are willing to spend a little bit more. We don't need to rearrange the furniture either.

Please give us some suggestions, like a theme or something and then what we could do with it.

Answer 1

First of all the theme could be like modern and wooden and stuff. If the kitchen is like the picture (use my source) below then you should put little plants ontop of the cabinets. I hope i helped you!

Answer 3

try to follow the rules though

when re-decorating home, bedroom or any other room, always try to choose colors according to feng shui. in this case you will activate powers of 5 elements (water, earth, metal, wood and fire) and support all your lucky "areas" - this will attract love, romance, wealth, money, prosperity, luck etc etc
