  Considering the very limited choice of bricks, I don't think you have much options.
  The first is the obvious stacking of 1x2 bricks, which the added bonus that it can bend (slighly).
  The second is the obvious stacking of 2x4 bricks, which is equally boring.
  What I would suggest is to build windows in it, which you can easily achieve by mixing the two bricks. My LDraw PC is dead, so I'll need to explain this otherwise. Let's say that the wall depth is 2L, so basically from the front you'll see either bricks of 1 or 4. Let's represent these by "1" and "4444". What you can do is as follows:
