I have this great blank canvas of a wall in my living room, but the landlord asked us not to paint or drill into the walls.
What are some good ideas to make the space more decorative without damaging the walls?

You can "wallpaper" by soaking fabric in liquid starch and applying to the wall just like wallpaper. When it's time to move, dampen it, pull it off, toss in the washer and dryer and take it with you. Also works for the backs of bookcases. I've never tried it but saw it on a decorating show.
I have a simple and inexpensive way to make your wall look fabulous!! Any you don't have to put any holes on your wall either. Here's the video on it... https://youtu.be/pKLd__oBDNA
Command hooks are great. If you must use nails use smallest/thinnest that will do the job. When you move use small amount of white toothpaste or glue to fill in hole.
Command hooks on PAINTED walls are easily removed without damage. Large print or three narrow prints behind sofa. Put a tree in the corner and place an up light behind it focusing upward through the tree. Will give a nice pattern on wall when lit
I saw a rolling bookcase on Pinterest. It had smaller spaces like cubbies.
Try going online for stick on wall Decorations. They are peel and stick. They come in different sizes and different designs.

Fathead.com has lots of stick on and removable sports, entertainment, and you can even customize your own!
I would build a large shelving unit behind the couch and the past the length. Make the shelves at the back of the couch wider for lamps or decorations. You can hang pictures on the front of the shelves. Using the lower shelving behind the couch for extra storage. Books and small plants or keepsakes displayed on the shelves. Home depot or lowe's will cut the lower shelving to size out of some cabinet plywood and 1 x 12 can be bought at what ever length. Paint or stain your color. Screw this all together so you take it with you. The lower wider base will help make it stronger and steadier
Not sure about the fabric & starch, as I have never tried it. I have hung fabrics by stapling it. Just get a pretty sheet, fabric, or fabric shower curtain. I used an office stapler to hang a colorful sheet on the wall next to bunk beds when my sons were young. when the sheet got dirty, I took it off, washed &dried it, then rehung it. When hanging it is easier with a "third hand" but you can do by your self.
My mom decorated her whole sewing room about 20 years ago this way and it worked great. I think it was even easier than actual wall paper.

Foam core board, paint something yourself. It can be done. Hang it up with straight pins. I have all of my paintings hanging from bull clips and straight pins. They barely leave any holes that the landlord will complain about. Because there's nothing to find!...👍👍👍😎
First of all, "Command" hooks, strips, etc! I have been using them for years they work great ! You can use a fabric shower curtain to make a picture over a wood frame just staple it on and you're all set . There are all kinds of removable items that you can use now they actually have removable wall murals, removable wallpaper, etc, look for removable wall Decor on Amazon.com. Good Luck!
decals!
A peel and stick wall mural would be beautiful! Or wall decals like these: https://alifeunfolding.com/how-to-refresh-a-bedroom/
