I'd leave it and use it as a backdrop for pictures or a large painting. Use Command hooks. They come off easily when you move.
Removeable wallpaper. As long as it isn't bare drywall. Goes up easily and is easy to remove when you leave.
Wha t material is the wall made of?Looks like ceramic
peel and stick 'Contact Paper' --- they've got some great ones now that come off really well
You can also hang with stick on velcro, panels of fabric making it a wall of curtains.
You can stencil with water-soluble art paint, or cover with fabric, sheets or even painter's cloth -- then you can decorate the cloth with any design you like...a cloth mural! You can use Command hooks to hold the dowels on which you attach the fabric....may have to do in panels if wall is very wide.
Depending on your décor, you could also put together a pallet wall or buy some lattice from hardware...secure on top and sides with those same temporary hooks. Or you could always make the wall disappear by filling the wall with an assortment of artwork, vintage items, etc. The clay-like adhesive that teachers use in the classroom are great for lightweight items. We use a lot of Gaffer tape on our RV walls -- holds well and pulls off easily!
You could cover it with heavy vinyl contact paper or a newer wallpaper that goes on just like contact paper. When you move, just peel it off.
Hang nice material like a big window. You can use curtains or sheets. Hang with a rod or strip of wood if you can tack it up.
By the way all sheets have a pocket you can tread the rods into. Some may need to be slit
Attach a drapery rod, put curtains on it, use tie backs. In the middle of that you can place mural...murals can be found at hardware stores and sometimes local department stores. Doing all that would make it look like outside.
