Barbara on Aug 04, 2016I had the same problem in another house. I made a GIANT (mine was 8' x 12') canvas of room darkening liner from the drapery dept of my fabric store. I put it on a wooden frame for depth of course. I then changed out the "scene" whenever I wanted with swatches of color, treasures, whatever I was in the mood for.. It became my "display window/wall" if you will. mucho funo!Helpful Reply

William on Aug 04, 2016Mbethhardy beat me to the punch! Also the fabric will just peel off and all you need to do is wash them down. I like Barbara's idea too. Panels of fabric hung on the walls will brighten the room.Helpful Reply

Desiree Suggs on Aug 04, 2016Mbethhardy is on track with my thinking. I bought FLAT sheets whose dimensions were such they would cover the wall (or walls) and then did the tuck and staple. They hold up forever and a quick vacuum with the upholstery brush does the trick.Helpful Reply

Leslie on Aug 05, 2016Susan, there is removable wallpaper for renters. Home Depot, Target, and most likely Lowes sells it. It is basically peel and stick. I would go to HD and talk to a salesperson and tell them your problem. You can Google removable wallpaper and lots of hits will come up. Good luck :)Helpful Reply
