Can you give us a diagram of the floor plan, showing door and window placement? We can't tell you where to place the window except to say on an outside wall, right?

Paint is a very inexpensive way to change a room. If you really don't like it I suggest paint, it will make the biggest impact.

Mosaic flooring is great and lasts forever if you take care of it occasionally. It is less costly to do a repair/polishing than to cover it up. I recommend this route. If you hate the mosaic you can have broadloom carpeting put down on top with adhesive tape underneath to hold it. Do not use tack strip or you'll really destroy the mosaic flooring--that would be a terrible waste.
