The easiest way to fix wall scratches is to use spackle to fill them in, then sand it down a bit, and finally repaint the area. It’s a pretty straightforward process! Just make sure you match the paint color correctly, or else it might stand out.

If you had adhesive hooks that pulled off some paint, it’s still manageable! After spackling, get a small amount of your original wall paint and blend it into the repaired spot. If you’re unsure how to match the paint, you can take a sample to a hardware store, and they can help mix the right shade for you!

CuriousCat369: Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely check out matching the paint.
