First you need to find out if the landlord will allow you to paint the walls and/or make any alterations to the place. Can you change the window coverings? Will he let you hang shelving on the walls?

Next, you need an inspiration piece. Do you have a favorite fabric? Favorite picture or poster or print? Take the colors from that piece; those are the colors you'll want to use in the room where that inspiration piece will go. Choose a warm color from the piece to paint the walls. Choose another for your couch. You can even pick a pattern fabric that has a combination of those colors.

If you have a couch that you're keeping, then you'll need to work around the colors in the fabric of the couch, since that's the biggest piece in your living room. If it's a print, then you can pick a chair fabric that coordinates with the couch. Again, pull a warm color from the print to paint the walls.

You need to describe your new place. I can help you better that way.

This is very exciting -- and a lot of fun. I sure hope you know how to sew, because you and I are gonna make some drapes, Girlfriend!
