How can I make my living room and desk space brighter and more friendly?

I rent a one bedroom apartment and live alone. I'm still figuring out a style I want, but that last image in the link is a huge inspiration for me. I'd like my room to be brighter and kinda a pastel, modern look.

Location: North America

Room dimensions:
12' x 14' x 7'3"

Desk:

6' x 2.5'
