can you DIY at all?
I'd paint that mirror and little table next to the door. you don't need any more brown.
how about some artwork w/color?
what you currently have over the sofa is too small and hung too high. (remember only 6" above the back of the sofa is where the bottom of the frame should start)
you have no accent color. home goods has cheap pillows. Or, go get some fabric w/a coupon and sew some.
make your own artwork. canvas' go on sale at Hobby Lobby, plus use their coupon. any left over paint? ask friends and family. google " pour art' or Dirty pour art' Try it.
craigslist. look for wood furniture that you can paint.
First thing I'd paint is your front door. sorry, but that mustard yellow is just not doing anything. pick a color, any color to brighten things up a bit.
If you're going to hang drapes, then hang them so they fit properly. move the sofa away from the window. iron them.
get a tall plant to go in that corner. again, people on craigslist often sell them, or ask a friend for cuttings. for instance, these snake plants grow like crazy and can do very well next to a window
they instantly add color and life to a room.
home goods, find a cheap throw in a color you like, along w/the pillows
just a few things to add to a room to give it color. pick an accent color you like and work around it
