Patchwork with swatches
Wallpapering is probably not an option for most tenants, but a mosaic wall may require less commitment . Samples of wallpaper can be relatively easy to find in major DIY stores, or ask around friends and family for the remains. To keep the removable patchwork, sticking to the walls with double-sided tape (do a patch test first) or keep up with the decorative washi tape.

Wow with a mural
Supersized murals are a great decorative impact on an area, but they should not be only for owners. Look out for companies that offer a removable finishing option as Tempaper or Surface View, to get the look without the commitment.

prop on a picture ledge
super versatile, the image of a thin ledge provides space to display the framed works that can be switched around without damaging the walls. While most require a couple of holes to attach, your landlord may be happy for you to do it (and leave them once you get out) that make holes for your own personal images.

Attaching an oversized printed - or even a length of wallpaper - on a sheet of MDF can create an instant focal point in a room. Opt for an extra-large sheet of MDF you can just lean against a wall to avoid making holes. You can even create a feature wall in this way, by sticking on a few drops of wallpaper and support behind your couch or bed

Be creative with recycling
There are alternatives to full screen. Here, a whole wall has been customized with facades cut from Clipper tea packets, collected over a number of months and simply attached to the wall with Blu-Tack. For a more ad hoc look, the same approach could be applied to a wall of postcards: the key is to go bold to stop feeling halftone look

Create a cameo
The walls should not be teeming with prints to make an impact. A couple of simple cameo designs can add a slice of striking patterns on the walls, and small works of art could be light enough to be held in place with a blob of Blu-Tack. For heavier work, use removable picture hooks.
