Thanks. I'll try to find a skilled handyman or a good painter.

If you don't want to repaint the whole room, your options are to get a close match (and accept that it won't be exact, but depending on the lighting you may be the only person who will notice it) or cover it up with something that looks intentionally different (artwork, trim, or paint a border / accent stripe type thing). I would start with the former, live with it for a while, and then think about cover-ups if it really bothers me.

You have a 2 story room? Does that mean the hardware is 18 feet away from you? Remove hardware, fill holes with sparkle, and match paint as best you can. It won’t be noticeable.

Its a two story tall wall with textured paint, would cost more than my intended makeover budget.

The wall is textured, not the paint, unless it's like sponge painted or something. You can match the texture pretty well, almost certainly. You can also match the paint color. You can probably get really close with the sheen of the pain. But if you only paint where the holes were, you'll be able to see the borders of the new paint, depending on the angle and the lighting. That's called flashing.

I don't know what you want us to tell you, OP. A hole is a hole. You could just fill the holes with spackle and paint the spackle with a tiny brush and paint that's close, and maybe you wouldn't notice it too much. But it'll probably be pretty visible.

I hate curtains, those came with the house. I asked a painter, he said exact match is unlikely.

I need to get rid of those but taking off hardware means need to paint and its a large room with textured paint which i like, is there a solution to get rid of curtains without having to paint?
