Discuss the equipment of the hanging cabinets with the owners - there you can add up all the "inheritance". Pack the old things in boxes and try to find a place on the mezzanines, in the pantry or on the balcony. Another option: move the sofa a half-meter from the wall, along the back to put a stack of boxes and cover this structure with a board - you get a comfortable worktop. If desired, pre-paint the boxes in a bright color or paste on them decorative paper.
The problem is unsightly walls

Pictures, posters, photos from travel, handmade children, mirrors - all these things will refresh the interior and hide all kinds of defects: cracks, potholes and scratches. You can go the simpler way: buy cotton linen for drapery or vinyl stickers. They are easy to attach, keep well and, most importantly, they can be removed easily and easily at any time without leaving traces. You can use Japanese curtains, they hide the flaws of the walls, but do not reduce the space of the room.
