1. Add some color with printed wallpaper

Your walls set the tone for the entire room, so switch them up with minimal effort by adding a peel-and-stick wallpaper like Drew Barrymore Flower Home Gingko Pink Peel & Stick Wallpaper. Cover all the walls with a floral print for a maximalist botanical feel, or stick to just one area for a modern, contrasting look. No one will guess that it isn't the permanent kind — or that you didn't hire a professional to install it.
