Chipped paint on walls is nearly inevitable in most homes. At some point, however perfect the paintwork was initially, a chip or two will appear. Whether from moving furniture around a room during a layout change, kids and/or pets playing, or even a water leak behind a wall, a chip (or two) will sooner or later be on your list of things around the house to fix.
Fortunately, you can fix chipped paint yourself. It will take a little time and patience, but you can do it even without extensive DIY experience. Just resist the temptation to simply paint your walls over the chipped areas (more on that below).
