I live in a rental house, which have white walls full of stains and nails on it. As I can't spend on whitewash. Can I do something to hide them and give the house a better look.

I know you said you can't spend money on paint, but it might be worth saving up for it. A fresh coat of paint would make ALL the difference. Maybe you could even talk your landlord into let you paint the walls another color. If not, just having new paint will brighten everything up. If you're willing to do the work yourself, your landlord might even buy the paint for you. It wouldn't hurt to ask!

The success of any decorating scheme depends on how well it suits all the members of your family. To create a décor that you will be happy with, think about what you want and also what you don’t want.
It’s a good idea to know what you have before you begun to change things. As you begin to pull your design ideas together, think about your preference and what will work in your home.
Color can work wonders... it can change the look of a room and change your feeling about the room. You can start by looking through magazines, and catalogs. Give yourself plenty of time, it will take longer than you think, and your ideas will develop as you go.
Gathering samples is a great way to begin. If you are starting with a color, your samples might include fabric, paint chips, wallpaper, carpet, wood, stone, and tile.
Knowing what you can spend on a project will give you a clearer idea of what you can achieve. If you’ll on a limited budget, mark off those things that will make the most difference, such as a new wall color and a new sofa.
You can set the mood of a room in lots of ways, such as lights, and furnishings. There are no hard or fast rules or must-do sequence for this process.

You need paint! Hanging pictures will only make more holes, and will not hide all the stains. Not to mention, that white is probably kinda discolored and faded by now. Paint isn't that expensive. Save up, it shouldn't take long to make that much!

hang some pictures where the previous nail holes are. you can always prop up a large mirror or painting to cover stains and such. draping fabric over a wall also works well. use colors that appeal to the eye.
