 Feeling worried and embarrassed about the hairline cracks on the walls ???

Note:Hang up a tapestry using sticky hooks

#.2.wallpaper It!! 
Material: Vinyl or standard wallpaper cover up simply follows the shape of the wall, and even shrinks into cracks, which does nothing to hide imperfections. Use a thick, strong fibreglass wallcovering, which bridges over damage to provide a smooth finish. You can decorate over this for a more personalised look and feel.
Texture: Wallpaper with a subtle texture helps mask imperfections, as well as adding variety to the space.
Pattern: Some wallpaper patterns, such as geometric designs with stark colour contrasts, can actually make cracks in walls more obvious rather than disguising them. This is because the patterns change shape as they follow the uneven texture of the walls. Instead, choose a solid colour or subtle, natural pattern to create a smooth and clean look.

Wall decal and stickers are another great way to keep a secret. You could either work around the crack to create intriguing patterns (think branches of a tree) or cover it up entirely. Pick a piece based on your personal swag.

How do you know if wall cracks are serious?

Hairline cracks are easy to be fixed

Tiny cracks on your wall aren’t usually problematic. These can be typically sealed with a filler and just repainted. But if cracks continue to grow, it’s time to get the professionals involved. In some cases, these could be a sign of structural problems. Look out for gaping cracks, horizontal cracks, loose nails and discolouration around the edges of the crack.

Structural damage or hairline crack: How do you identify it?

Inspect the location and width of the crack

Structural damages: 
If the cracks appear gaping, highly unusual or extending its veins, it could be a structural damage. The rule of thumb is it could be a structural issue if it is more than ¼ inch wide. These deserve attention immediately.

Hairline cracks: 
Hairline cracks over doors and windows are likely due to settling. Houses of any age move and shift subtly over time, and the weakest area in a wall is the most likely to crack. Hairline cracks across walls and doorways do not indicate a structural problem; they should simply be re-taped and painted.





The walls of newly constructed homes could contain high levels of moisture and this could result in thin cracks to appear. It can also form slowly over a period of time since the home has been exposed to different levels of humidity and temperature.

Besides the home’s natural wear and tear, cracks could be the result of simply a bad paint job as well. Another reason could be a hidden water leak that’s causing your walls to get damaged.
