note the rug is brown, and may have to blend with base color, other rooms are basic/ neutral, except yellow section, find out what you're allowed to color from the building rules, and note that you may have to repaint neutral when moving out/ selling,

so with brown carpet, and horse related views, use horse colours, think Pinto, Appalachian, Thoroughbred , and the colours related, bay chestnut, dun, !.!.!.

even use two tones and mix, the kitchen appears yellowed, but go a tad brighter to match stove/fridge and add brighter lights in ceiling, possible florescent tube or energy saver type,

the bathroom can stay yellow or you can re color, white( to match sink/ tube) or blues tones to be different from the rest of apartment,

keep ceilings bright to help brighten up place, during daylight view outside and get an idea what colors are naturally accenting room and enhance into browns, could be sky, water, forest tones ,

also your furniture may be part of what colors to choose, those colours with browns as two tone, you can also use wallpaper, shop around for vintage designs as well, to do some walls or add as trim and borders,

there are colour viewers for most paint companies online, find the brand you're using and search online for colours,

Since you like minimalist, it will be good it you will paint it with white and line it with black or something metallic in color like silver!. Black and white are very good for apartments!. White will make the room bigger and black will set the boundaries for it and it accentuates the edges!. Look at this link: http://flickr!.com/photos/31014148@N06/29!.!.!.
You can choose different patterns for the furniture!. Since you also like vintage, you can have gold or brown as lining in the ceiling and and at the base of the wall!.
