It's next to impossible to give you advice on this without seeing a picture of your room.
However, do keep in mind that painting walls is one of the least expensive and most effective changes one can make in an interior.

I agree... I may have to open the paint cans.

It's either that or the camera!

Depending on the room... add chair rail molding. Or take some painters tape and add white stripes, or paint using stencils to add pattern. Instead of re-painting the whole room, you're painting a minimal amount of the wall and it gives you a completely different look.
