i would suggest slip covers for the chairs, ones that go to the floor. it will really make the chairs look different and more expensive. it will also add excitement to the pine table. i would also suggest a large piece of art. what i have done for cheap art is taking a large frame from ikea and adding wall paper/wrapping paper underneath. it looks really awesome and you can change it often for very cheap. maybe some sort of thin buffet table that fits on the blank large wall. you can add decor items, pictures or flowers.

keep the brick white and paint the stove black or paint the brick charcoal gray and paint the stove black. either way the stove totally needs to be black.

if you like to mix up colours and textures to a room then i suggest going for the circular table. it will switch it up from the rectangle couch, tv, windows and bookcase. if you add a round vase with flowers to the coffee table it will compliment it nicely. also adding books and magazines on top wont make it as boring as square on square on square.

you can rent tools from any hardware store but that would probably cost a pretty penny.
i would suggest looking for those peel and stick wall hooks you can put on doors or walls without fear of ripping paint/putting holes in your walls. or in your case, crumbling the concrete in your building. they're normally used to hold coats, towels or what have you. im sure you can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes and then hang a curtain rod from them.

this also might work IF the wall that is painted has dry wall over it. if its pure concrete than this is a no go.... i have done this before. i found a sheet, a funky patterned one from any fabric store or right off your own bed and i used tacks to pin it to the wall. voila.
