i completely agree, everything looks better when put in a frame. not only does it make it appear to have special meaning to you, but it makes it look 100x more professional. i'd suggest keeping these down to 2 or 3 in the main living area, otherwise you run the risk of clutter, and it doesn't leave the impression that these are important to you.
however wherever you decide is going to be your "creative area" i would go as wild with them as you want, clutter be damned.

this can be solved by a big enough piece of fabric. i'd suggest going down to your local craft store (or walmart even) and picking out a fabric that you like the feel of, and has a pattern you like. or you can do with some king sized bedsheets
also.. invest in a couple of throwpillows. if this is the same type of futon i have, i suggest getting some pillows firm enough to be used as armrests, and putting them under your makeshift slipcover.
i would also suggest getting one of those king sized egg crate foam matress things, and putting it between the futon matress and the support bars. it will go a long ways into making a crappy futon matress more comfortable.
oh.. you might want to look around for some end tables, and maybe even a coffee table as well. personally, i think most places look bare without some kind of coffee table, and end tables are just a necessity.
