The result can be a difference in sheen that also contributes to the patched area standing out from the rest of the wall, even if the texture matches.

The other problem you’re likely to run into is what’s known as "flashing." After the patch is done and painted, the new texture will tend to absorb paint differently than the old texture, due to differences in previous paint, materials and other factors. It’s difficult to come up a perfect match, and the larger the area is and the more centered it is on the wall or ceiling, the more likely it is that you’re going to see it. You first have the issue of matching the existing texture for the main body of the patch, and then feathering the new texture out onto the old in ever-decreasing amounts so that the transition between new and old is seamless. Even the pros can have a tough time with it. In truth, matching drywall texture is always a tricky process unless you’re experienced at it.
And now, you’re at a loss as to exactly how you’re going to get that flat, unadorned piece of drywall to blend in with the texture on the rest of the wall that’s surrounding it. No matter the origin, you end up with some drywall that doesn’t have any texture on it.
It’s a pretty common scenario on the home improvement scene: You’ve removed some wallpaper or wainscoting, or you’ve relocated a door or a window, or maybe you’ve just repaired same drywall damage caused by one of life’s little mishaps.
