Put curtains up it makes the place feel more homey. Also hang art work or shelves with pictures on them. You can also put up wall mounted candle holders. Then pick out a nice area rug that brings out the colors in your furniture. Another idea is to pick a nice neutral color for the walls and paint them.

Three things: lighting, color, and seating. Use multiple small lighting sources and design contrast between brightly-lit areas and darker, moodier areas. Paint at least one wall if you can, but use color as much as possible for psychological effect. And use seating to "instruct" people how to relate to each other. Get creative, adjust as you go, experiment, learn.

Go to the library and research decorating ideas for small spaces. Avoid clutter and collections. Create a single focal point in each room. Look for furniture that doubles for storage (an ottoman, upholstered seating cubes). Plan kitchen storage carefully and only keep or purchase what you have space for. In a smaller space, less is more.

Don't waste a lot of money buying new furniture, rugs, baubles, etc. Hunting for the used stuff will be worth your while.
