Changing the color palette of the property is probably the easiest way to change the whole sight and feel of it. Anything from a large rug, a leaning bookshelf painted with a color you love, a sofa, or an artwork. These things are also pretty easy to take with you when you eventually move. An occasional pop of color with a removable wall covering or wallpaper can beat that achromatic aura that usually reverberates from rental spaces.
