What types of wallpaper are there?

The common misperception about wallpaper is that it is staid, boring and old-fashioned. In reality, wallpaper and other wallcoverings offer versatility and vibrancy few other materials can offer. From traditional to avant-garde, there’s a style for every homeowner or business office. Surfaces of paper, fabric, vinyl and many other materials let you choose the aesthetic that suits your style.

Can I paint over wallpaper?

Yes, you may. The best route is to strip existing wallpaper first, but if the wallpaper is adhered to unprepared drywall, painting over the paper may be the only option. Stripping wallpaper that has been painted can cause you serious problems, however, so consider your options carefully. Paperwalls can help you determine the best route.

What must I do to prepare my walls for wallpaper?

Proper preparation ensures that your wallpaper adheres correctly to the wall. If the wallpaper hasn’t formed a good bond, it may peel or fall off the wall. Proper prep work also prevents damage to the underlying surface if the paper is removed in the future.
