Hi congrats on the new place.

Could you try freecycle for things like rugs, curtains etc?

Also alternatives to nets - you can get voile which is just a sheer curtain. Or some cheap roller blinds with white sheer fabric. Ikea do nice ones. If you can get to ikea they also do cheap long white curtains which can be used instead of nets. They're about 2m long so you can cut to size and use iron on hemming tape (I've done this and it looks ok). Cheap white curtain wire is strong enough to hang it up.

How handy are you with a sewing machine? If you go to your local department store/curtain shop/haberdashery store you can get remnants -basically off cuts of material which are reduced and use them to make cushion covers. You could pick up some cheap cushions then re-cover them.

Pictures are another good way to personalise - some clip frames and get a load of pics of your family/fav places printed in bulk and hang them up? Or you can frame things like school certificates, posters from magazines etc?
