You could use temporary wall paper or fabric.
Hi, Virginia!
Depending on what is wrong with the walls, they could easily be retextured with joint compound and a trowel, then painted. I hope this helps!
How are they bad? What's the problem?
You can cover with wall paper or you can retexture with spackling. Dip a 4" blade into spackling getting about a half inch or more of spackling on blade and crosshatch on wall smearing about 10" go in all directions until the wall is covered. When painted it has the old Tuscan feel to it with lots of beautiful texture.
