pls, get me out of the hospital

My landlord IS reluctant I (dig holes to) pin anything on the walls he recently painted.I'm thus left with dazzling white walls in a flat made ominous.What can I do to embellish my place? What can offset my white wall problem?Notice my budget is limited, so are my DIY abilities.

Book shelves filled with select interesting books.If you are handy, you can make the shelves yourself.Also pottery and other handmade crafts that you can pick up at small shops and fairs.Does not have to be "fine" art - or bought by the horde, just a few distinctive and interesting pieces.I like raku from Japan, in paricular, but also glazed pots and vases from local craftspeople.

There is a large market for non-penetrating, supposedly damage-free hooks. This may or may not work for you, but just as an example see: Hooks

If you gave the landlord a deposit for the flat you just need to promise that you will patch and paint the holes when leaving the place. Alternatively, I've seen kat's wife lamps making beautiful patterns on the walls and ceiling (you can get relatively cheap moroccan style lanterns to achieve this effect). And flowers - plants and flowers in the flat are a must :-) And big mirrors standing on the floor.
