There is a certain satisfaction that comes with upgrading your house, the DIY way, and one of the common issues that homeowners face is the unsightly blemish of chipped or peeled paint on their walls. Whether it’s from constant use, accidental damage, or a change in interior design preferences, these paint patches can really mess up your house’s appearance. But fret not! You can easily fix this on your own with some simple methods. So, let’s have a look at some simple yet useful methods of fixing such paint patches on your walls.

Texturing the wall
Are you tired of staring at that uneven wall? Well, guess what? You can easily fix it with some clever texture tricks. It’s a fantastic way to give your wall a makeover without resorting to the same old method of just repainting it. Sagar Devsani, a painter and sculptor from Mumbai shares, “I regularly paint my walls as it gets patchy year after year due to moisture. Last year, we repainted the entire wall with a pattern. By applying the base colour of red, we did patterning of the wall by using rectangular sponges. We just soaked the sponge in gold colour and stamped the same on the red wall. The end result turned out to be great. You can also experiment with other such patterns with a little bit of online research.”

Wallpapers
One of the common solutions for fixing a patchy wall is by covering it with wallpaper. Not only does it cover up your uneven wall, but it also serves as a stylish addition.

Glass mosaic art
An alternative to paints, you can cover the patches by hanging a piece of glass mosaic art.

Tapestries
For those who want maximum results with minimum effort, tapestry can be the go-to option. Tapestry is a form of textile art where pictures or designs are woven into a heavy cloth and such clothes are then used for wall hangings or curtains.

Addressing the root cause
By using the above techniques, you can hide or cover up the patches but you still need to address the root cause and prevent patchy walls in future. “Addressing the underlying issue is the most effective strategy to prevent peeling paint. If moisture or dampness is the reason, repair leaks, increase ventilation, and consider using waterproof paint”
