Answer
"Vintage" doesn't have to mean expensive. Hit the thrift stores. Look for fabrics you can use to make pillows for the sofa, curtains, or table covers. Use table covers to make curtains. Mix it up.
As for being stuck with white walls, use poster frames from the dime stores to frame large blocks of fabric...colors limited only by the fabric or paper you find. You could frame a polka-dot in one, a solid of the same color in another, stripes in a third, and a paisley print in the fourth, then hang them all in a row for a color statement. Or do 4 blocks of solids, then use the prints for table covers, curtains, and pillows.
Retro means different things to different people. To some, it's 50's red and white and black, to others it might mean totally 70's. Just let the fabrics you find lead you.
(An old chenille bed spread with panels on it was cut up on a "kids room" design show I saw recently. She used some of the panels for pillows and some of the spread to make a bed-skirt. It was cute, and very retro if your idea of retro was 1940!)

Answer
well stay away from Pier 1 and other over-priced decorating stores and stick to places like Target, and Walmart.
If you want some really funky stuff Hot Topic has some bedroom items.
Paint works wonders! If you're allowed to paint your walls pick an accent wall and paint it a bright funky color, like purple! Or get some stencils and paint a cool border.
