Moved some furniture around, and now there's a big blank wall behind the couch. I'm on a college budget, so I'd like to use mostly supplies I already have; several colors of paper, markers (including silver), scissors, tape, etc. I'm ok with spending a LITTLE money on supplies as well.
Links to examples are great, too! I want to do something other than the usual posters and stuff.

I'm going to throw you three links here to a kazillion gorgeous pictures of designer rooms. I think you will get some great wall decor ideas from these pics. You can save your favorite pix to your computer, then narrow it down.
Cottage Decor (has bedrooms and other rooms) -- this one has lots of feminine rooms I think you will love:

Bedrooms -- little kids, to teens, to guest rooms:

How to decorate my new duplex retro style?
smashedgui
im getting a duplex in a couple of months and i wanna decorate it with a retro vibe to it..only problem is im on a budget and alot of things retro and vintage are very expensive.I can't paint the walls so im stuck with white walls. theres 3 bedrooms and 2 baths
50s 60s style...and incorporate music since ima musician
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!)
