The previous people who lived here obviously artexed around the old cricular light fitting and so the fitting I've now got has left an unsightly circular mess showing the old artex.
Nothing I do is going to be perfect - in terms of texture, pattern or other match - so I'm looking for some sort of easy to use ready mixed filler - or perhaps that's a bad idea and just filling the small holes and using white paint is the way to go.
Would this be the right thing to use at least to smooth out the rough edges:
Or would this cause more problems?
