renter nursery decor suggestions?

We decided not to paint due to renting the condo so I am finding it a bit harder to decorate the nursery. I am a "color" girl so have to have pops of color!! So far our changing pad cover in bright green & white polka dots & green animal blanket on back of rocker & some green baskets for laundry, dresser/etc. are helping but I have too many ideas for wall decor & need to make decisions! Any suggestions or pictures of what you've done?? Thanks!! 
My current ideas are: considering painting a canvas or 2, mounting a shelf for stuffed animals/etc. as it's an elephant/giraffe theme (but we do have a bookcase that I'm currently using for the animals), having 3 frames to form a "gallery" - pic of just baby, plan to order a customized birth announcement from Esty & a pic of the 3 of us, & also the bedding we plan to get comes w/ wall decals which we plan to put above the crib most likely...

We are renting also and decided to keep the walls white since we don't know how long we will be here. Here is a link to our pics:

1. Use starch to stick fabric to the walls. Sound crazy? Nake Berkus did a tutorial here (https://www.thenateshow.com/tipsandtools/detail/fabric-wall-art)...google to see other examples. Just make sure to use lightweight fabric and pre-wash it to shrink it and avoid color bleeds. When you're done, you just peel the fabric off the walls and use a little soap and water to get rid of excess starch - will not damage plaster/painted surfaces. We're applying a gorgeous yellow striped fabric as wainscoting around the bottom 3 ft. of the room, and instead of crown molding using a contrast color wide grosgrain ribbon across the top to finish.
2. Another fabric idea: go to a fabric store and buy odds and ends of brightly colored fabric in your color scheme. Then stretch in embroidery hoops and hang where you want. A good example of this is here on the right hand side: https://meandwee.blogspot.com/search?q=nursery.
GL!

I addressed this EXACT issue on my blog a few months ago.
I've been a renter ALL of my life :-)
You could try temporary wallpaper, fabric or large scale decals.
