Rooster Window Kitchen

Help with the ugliest kitchen ever!!?
I am moving into an apartment that has the ugliest kitchen I've ever seen. It is cramped, everything is off white and looks like it 30 years old AT LEAST. Ancient dishwasher and all. The light from the window doesn't reach it (it's almost pitch black in there without the light on during day time, and there's no door!). The fridge look's like it's from the 80's. It's just ugly. Oh, and the floor is this lovely vinyl looking orange and brown!!! Any ideas? I don't like anything like roosters or flowers, and nothing grandmotherly. Other than that, I'm really open because this thing is hideous. I was thinking about putting a curtain in the doorway to hide it. That's my only idea so far (I'm not creative:).
I cannot paint or replace anything, this is a rental! I already asked about painting. If anyone knows of a temporary flooring (waterproof rug lol) I could put in the kitchen, just anything, please let me know!!
You could use a bamboo rug & do an Asian motif.

Liven up those boring walls with Asian wall hangings.
