Updating interior of rented home, on the cheap- tips needed?

I live in a rented house and want to update the living room on the cheap. It has a red carpet and curtians which I don't want to replace. What is the most contemporary style to paint/decorate the walls and create a clean modern look that will go with the red soft furnishings? Any style tips to inspire modern design? I am taking my time to look for new ideas so hope to get some creative input here. Thanks.

Red carpet and drapes: Try a buttercream or darker paint. I have a red sofa and burgundy area rugs. Yellows and golden tans look great with red. The link below is a photo on hgtv's site. Red walls with a buttercream colored fireplace so you can see the colors together.

What is the best INTERIOR DESIGN magazine for my 28 year old wife?

She is too modern for a "Better Homes & Gardens" but still too midwest to go full on sheik, comtemporary unbanite style.

Any suggestions?

Also looking for books if you know of good ones.

I need some advice on a design (link in details)?

http://www.designmyroom.com/projects/Design.aspx?ID=728206

I'm designing a living room for my best friend's mom. She wants to base it around Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting with a semi-modern style. This design I'm working on is basically colors, flooring, and basic furniture and accent ideas. Any suggestions on how to make it better? This is my first time putting any designs to work, and doing this will look good in a portfolio for college (to study Interior Design). Any advice from a professional would be greatly appreciated.

This one works. I promise

Lose the tiny coffee table. You need something big with a Starry Night statement.

How about a mural or some stencil drawing on the wall to the left - opposite from the actual painting. Just some swirls in the colors from the painting. Look up FRACTALS on the web. There are some cool designs.

Paint the etagere glossy black, and try to get a light in there.
