Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Is an accent wall in every room too much?

• <div><p>There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to accent walls, so avoid creating one in every room in your house. Some rooms, like bathrooms and kitchens, don’t naturally lend themselves to accent walls, so it’s best to skip them there. Of course, your home should reflect your own sense of style, so if accent walls in multiple rooms appeal to you, there’s no hard-and-fast rule forbidding it.</p></div>

Q: Should I overlap seams when hanging wallpaper?

• <div><p>No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.</p></div>

Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: How many times can you wallpaper over wallpaper?

• <div><p>Most experts would not recommend hanging wallpaper over existing wallpaper more than twice. Even if the walls are in good condition and primed well, that third layer of wallpaper could cause problems with adhesion. Unless you like bubbling paint and peeling wallpaper as an interior design choice, it&rsquo;s better to remove at least one existing layer before adding any more to a wall. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper in a bathroom last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan. </p></div>

David was excellent to work with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it, for the price he quoted. His work was very good and he left the worksite very clean. He was easy to communicate with by e-mail, text or cell phone (706-302-3780).

Barnard Painting came in to assist the painter I had hired who fell ill. They performed the work timely and professionally. Moved furniture, took down pictures and window treatments & rehung. I will use them in the future when I get ready to have the outside totally painted.

I really did not have any problem when I bought wallpapers from Brunswick Floor because the very first time I went to them, I had no experience at all with wallpaper. Because they knew that, they suggested that I get one that I did not have to necessarily design for, and it turned out real...

Owner of Ganka came over and gave a fair quote of $150 so I hired him with the stipulation that the repair look as close to the original as possible so the patch would match the rest of the ceiling. He said it would, so I agreed. His guys came over and made the patch and then asked me to look at...

First, pinning them down to actually come work was horrendous. I had to threaten to get someone else before they showed up to do the inside work. And even then, I never knew if there would be 1 painter or 5. I know for a fact that there are several really good painters in this company but I...

"They have mismatched pattern repeat, they tore the wallpaper and left it on the wall, the seams are not cut properly at the ceiling, there's gaps on the seams and you can see the walls behind it. On my sink, there's about 6x6x4 that they didn't bother to put wallpaper on. It was a mess, the wallpapers are not cut properly on the windows as well, they pasted it to the bottom of the window. The prints don't even matched up, pattern repeats does not match. They left the workspace a mess, they didn't even clean up and also the light fixture that they were supposed to take down, they didn't finish it so now I have hanging wires up on my walls."
