How to make it better?

So my family and I are planning on moving either this summer or next summer. We went house hunting a few days ago and found a great house and I think they made an offer on it. There is only one problem--it's furnished. We would rent the house 10 months of the year and the people who own it stay there in the summer so it must be furnished for them. There is a good chance that we will get the house (we get along well with the people who are renting it, we have a lot in common, we can pay full asking price, etc) I don't want to get my hopes up too much but just in case. The room I will have is the study/4th bedroom. It is very big, bookshelves in the walls, wetbar (not that I need it lol) they have a day bed but my parents said that I can move a twin bed from my sister's maybe new room (it has two) into the study and use the day bed for sleepovers. The room's furniture is not really my style but I can't really move very much. Like I can get rid of the rug and stuff and get new curtains if I want but I feel that my style would clash with what is already there (I like modern contemporary stuff) and we would only stay their for a year or two (we want a place that we can really make our own) so I don't want to get anything not my style just to match the room. I am big on interior design so this is kind of important to me. My dad said he would give me $200 to spend on room stuff overall, like I wouldn't spend it all now- I would wait until we get a different house to get furniture (he would buy the bed and desk and stuff). So does anybody have any idea how I can make the room my own without clashing with the stuff that is there for under $200? Thanks! Sorry for the length lol.

1. $200 isn't much but comforters, pillow slips & maybe a few pictures/posters will do! YOU'RE the one '...big on interior design...' so you're the one to decide!
2. Once you put the comforter, pillows, lamps, throw rugs, and pictures that you love in there it will feel more like your own room. Go someplace cheap like Ross or Target if there is one near you.
