Rentals?
Any creative advice on how I can spice up the walls in an apartment?
I can't paint them and I'm going to put up pictures but I need something bigger.
I like bright, vibrant colors and I really want my apartment to reflect that.

Me and stargirl have the same idea, haha

^ sheets that can double as tapestries.
I think you'll enjoy these if you like color. :)

Have you thought about putting up a tapestry? Not like a fancy one but ones they sell at bed, bath, and beyond?
There's a lot of apartment decorating ideas that you can steal from dorm decorating ideas. Dorm deco usually is meant for a temporary time so no permanent things are done to the walls and stuff.
Ooh or wall vases with bright (fake) flowers that are bright year round? Or colorful wooden cutouts?
cheers,

you could get those door things, that hang down, but instead of putting them in the doorway, put them on the walls.
Also you could get some colorful rugs from the dollar store and hang them up on your walls.
One more thing, although i have not had the best success with them, are those wall stickers. They claim they can be taken off, but not used again. Well.. they dont take off too good. But if the apartment is just white or whatever, you can get a small amount of paint, when you are ready to move and just fix up any little spots of paint that comes off with the sticker.
Some other things i can think of, are get some thumb tacks, and then hang up Cd's and cd covers on your wall. (if you have itunes, and have all the cd's on your computer then i think that it is ok. But they dont really get scratched anyway) I just did that to a wall in my room, and it looks really cool.
You could buy some acctuall sized flags, with some cool stuff on them, and hang them up,
or just get some material and hang strips of that up. I think that would look cool.
That is all I can think of at the moment, but if you have any other questions, message me!
I hope I have helped, and good luck.

you can take your favorite colors and contrast them. Maybe paint the wall a solid color, and splash on the other colors. IT shouldn't look tacky b/c you can hang up pictures and posters. If you use big colors it can liven your place up, and some light colors can make the room look bigger too.
Golden yellow goes with almost anything, light blue is calming, green is calming and just peaceful, and nature like, orange is warm. Just take your favorite colors and see which ones go together the best, then paint them together. YOu can do stripes, splatter it on, polke dots, you can do anything you want, make the place your own, and have fun with it!! :)
