The front walls of my house have chapped and look shabby on festive ocassion.i cant get them painted or use a?

Use ';a'; what? I sometimes get cut off too. I am not sure what chapped is or why you can't paint unless it is the expense or the landlord. In some areas the hazardous waste places have free paint. They get in partial cans of paint that have to be disposed if and they add some together and give it away fir free in 5 gallon buckets. Colors are not necessarily first choices but can protect surfaces.





If you can't paint how about putting pots and trees or bushes in front if the walls or even adding something attached on wall that looks decorative. Can find pots and wrought iron or plastic that looks like iron at flea markets, yard sales, dumpster diving or Goidelll. You can get cheap spray paint to redo the pots, etc or give vintage look. It is called shabby chic. Could put up a trellis in front of wall where worst and plant something that us vining. Might get starts off friends plants by taking leaf cuttings and dip in routine ant stick in water or dirt to get roots. No quick fix. If you use pots you can take with you if you move. Plantings may have to stay.The front walls of my house have chapped and look shabby on festive ocassion.i cant get them painted or use a?
By ';chapped'; do you mean that the current paint is flaking off the walls? It could be moisture in the wall. Or maybe the current paint was applied when the wall was still damp.





If that's the case, if you repaint the new paint may flake off, too. Go over the wall with a vacuum cleaner and get off all the flakes you can. There may be areas that need a light going over with fine sandpaper. Then you should probably prime them with something like Kilz. After that you should be good to go with a fresh coat of paint.





If paint isn't an option, you could try wallpaper. Some people cover a wall with mirrors, too.





If you're not allowed to paint or wallpaper because your renting, you could try to hang floor to ceiling fabric across the wall. Custom drapes are expensive but, if you or someone you know can sew it's not that bad.The front walls of my house have chapped and look shabby on festive ocassion.i cant get them painted or use a?
You can consider using wall papers or wall coverings as an option, see here for more:
