OP: It might help a bit if we had an idea of your age, say <30 or >30 and whether you're living on your own or with a significant other. If this is a bachelor pad, my advice is don't over do it. Assuming you're male, when you shack up or get on the road to being married, your tastes won't count for much anyway.
Seriously though, as surgerguy mentioned, don't feel the need to rush to furnish the place quickly or fill it with 'stuff'. I suggest that simple is better, less is more and in time you'll appreciate having floor or wall space rather than a bunch of clutter. Taking your time and finding 'steals' on Kijiji or an estate sale will be half the fun.
He was too polite to mention it but one of surferguy's pieces might be a nice addition to your new place
