Ah. I think the landlord left a tub of paint in the storeroom. But even then, won't the patch work still stand out at a certain angle?

Thanks guys! I ended up buying one of argos' canvas wardrobe...(big step down from Pax) as I might move again in a year's time. However, I got a mirror cabinet from argos and mounted it onto the wall! My first drill and mounting! That was so exciting. Can't wait to drill and mount more...
