And your carpets are much too dark. Choose a more neutral (whiter) version of the the beige above the dado rail. But make it hard wearing and slightly speckled with lots of colours in there. Otherwise the first sign of dirt will ruin it forever! Alternatively, choose a colour tone (I still think a mild sandy tone) and use a darker version at the bottom and a very light variation of the same colour at the top. Why do I feel gay wring this? I'm not gay, I just like homes to look nice, dammit!

Polystyrene tiles on the ceiling. If you have any ugly old Victorian doors then give the place a clean, modern ambience by covering them with hardboard and painting them. Do the same to those nasty old turned wood spindles on the stairs while you are at it. You can't go wrong if you cover any other flat surfaces in fablon. How about some woodchip wallpaper and some pine pannelling

Sounds like the lack of natural light is your main issue, so you really want to keep it neutral but maybe not quite as neutral as you currently have it. With a couple of rugs and a change of light fittings etc you could keep the colour light and change the look of the room. maybe an accent wall at the end of the room for a splash of colour that you can then pick out with soft furnishings. OMFG...did I just write all that!!!??? I need a f***ing lie down!

You need to get rid of dado rail behind table. Wallpaper that wall with a modern paper. (min 30quid a roll, NOTHING CHEAP) Paint rest of walls same colour, top and bottom (it's not the 1990's) using a colour from Farrow and Ball paints. Paint dado rail same as walls using eggshell finish.

Paint dado rail same as walls using eggshell finish. Agree with those points. Have reservations about a split colour or split wallpaper due to the whole 1990s vibe. Not sure the landlord will have it if I ask to take it off though.
