The best idea that I ever used was starching fabric to the wall. You can get whatever fabric you like that is cotton (flannel, velvet and heavy fabrics will not work). Flat sheets provide the most fabric for the cheapest cost and come in a variety of colors and prints. Buy liquid starch, not the spray kind, and put it in a good size bucket. Put your fabric in the bucket of starch and saturate the fabric. Wring it out very well and then you can pin the material to the top of your wall and smooth the material out the same way that you would wallpaper (remove the pins when the fabric is dry). If you have multiple pieces of fabric, overlap the seams to allow for shrinkage. Allow the fabric to dry and you have "wallpaper". When you get ready to move out, simply take the fabric off of the wall, wash it and reuse it at your next place. There will be absolutely no damage to your wall. (Note, some dark colors will bleed and can leave some color on your wall, so keep that in mind when you are choosing your color.) I own a house now, but my son wanted to keep his manga soccer player "mural" that he had in Korea. I painted his room blue and starched the fabric onto the wall and it looks as if I had a mural painted on his wall. I can send you pictures if you would like. This method also works if you want to put up a fabric border. Having lived in military housing for more years than I want to remember, I have a few thoughts for you.

As a landlord, I want to know what you intend to do. I reserve the right to veto any plan. I also may require you to restore the place to its original condition if and when you move...at your cost. I'm pretty flexible but there are limits...and I hate surprises. Henry is right on. As a landlord, I want to know what you intend to do. I reserve the right to veto any plot.

I suggest starting with paint and making it a collaborative process- don't go for jarring, but make sure it's not white (or off-white for that matter). Pick a very lite shade of something with a little warmth (like yellow for example). Once you do this, you'll be in a much better position to pick little decorative objects to play off the color (like interesting pillows or vases). By simply rearranging the furniture, adding some warmth to the walls and getting a few interesting little things to play off the color in the walls (not the same color, just a complimentary one), bland furniture seems to come to life and people feel the confidence to take bolder steps toward making a space their own and reflective of their personal tastes.
