For the walls– I saw once where someone had taken a ton of tea bags on boiled them in water then after it cooled they slowly poured it down the walls then took the bags and sqeezed them out on the walls– it was sooooooo cool looking it made the walls look kinda like rocks and it gave the appearance of texture
Have someone cut out some squares of wood for you then cover them with fabrics you like and hang them behind your bed for a neat looking head board (and u can use tacks to place pictures or letters on the boards too)
Have fun with it
