How to make filled holes invisible on white wall (basic Q)

5 years ago

We have some shelves up on dry wall that we'd like to remove and have the wall be blank. We've used these wall plugs which leaves ~half inch wide hole. There are 12 of them - 2x for each bracket.


What is the best way to approach this? I know i need to;


- Fill each hole with some sort of filler.

- Apply multiple layers

- Sand it down so it's smooth


My question is, on our white walls, will we need to repaint the entire thing, or just the general area? Will a patch of new paint on walls which were last painted white ~5 years ago stick out unless we redo the whole thing?


Thanks for considering this very basic question
