Yes! I didn't bother to ask, so I'm not sure if it would have been ok. When I moved in, the walls were disgusting-- a shiny, sterile white that was stained in places from I don't even know (or want to know) what. I painted my living room a very light green, my bedroom a soft peach, and my kitchen teal and then grey. My landlord has been in my apartment several times since my various paint jobs and has either failed to notice or has not cared. Honestly, given how bad the walls were when I moved in, I was tempted to ask him to reimburse me for the paint. But, in my mind, a couple hundred dollars is worth a fresh and happy apartment.

I had black and white checkered tiles in the bathroom of my old apartment. I found that my light blue bath rug (and white ruffley shower curtain) gave the bathroom a classic and almost soft look.
