One of the best things about buying your own house is the fact that you can do (almost) anything you want with it. You're not restrained from the temporariness of living in someone else's property. Spending a little bit of extra money on it is not a 'waste', but an 'investment'. So, from buying new curtains to replacing the flooring, tearing down walls or replacing the fireplaces is something to consider.
Putting your own 'stamp' on the house is something expected, especially from a gay couple with some sense of taste. Cough cough. OK, I lack this specific gay gene. For everyone that knows me, I admit it: JJ has far better ideas than I do in these things. I'm more of the practical type of person, when he has the 'eye' for things. I'm the engineer while he's the artist (very generally stated). But still, I appreciate sometimes nice things when I see them. And since we talked about it, we agreed on following the same general decoration ideas. While waiting to see what's going to happen with the house we have in mind, we've been visiting furniture stores, window shopping and we've been buying decoration magazines.
Here's a list of ideas I've gathered online. In each picture there is something I like.

Delete“Spending a little bit of extra money on it is not a 'waste', but an 'investment'.” - You're right! Buying the house itself is an important investment. How classical or modern your interior design will be depending on your pleasure and desired ambiance. Anyway, you've got great pictures here. I bet you'll end up with a fabulous home once these inspirations are incorporated in your new house. :)
