Your walls can take a real beating over time. From overzealous movers to rowdy kids to constant doorknob bangs, it’s not unusual to see dents, cracks, and even holes scarring up your walls’ once-smooth surfaces. But with the right tools and a little technique, it’s not too hard to restore the walls in your bedroom – or anywhere in your home – to their former glory.
Usually, holes in drywall are repaired by removing a large section of the panel that reaches all the way down to the stud before cutting installing a whole new piece. That method is time consuming, though, and requires a significant amount of skill. Enter drywall repair clips, which will allow you to easily replace a small section of drywall, hassle-free!
If the damage is small, you can always go with a simple patch. This lets you fix holes less than three inches in diameter in mere minutes. For even smaller holes, a patching paste will get the job done. Just put the paste in, smooth over the hole, wait for it to set, and sand it down when it’s done. Then all you’ll need to do is paint it over to match it with the rest of your wall!
