Q: Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that&rsquo;s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of putting up wallpaper?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">The pros of wallpaper</a> include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it&rsquo;s difficult to remove, it&rsquo;s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it&rsquo;s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: What are the downsides of textured walls?

• <div><p>While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they&rsquo;re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest&mdash;sometimes 20 years or more&mdash;while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.</p></div>

Q: How long does hanging new wallpaper take?

• <div><p>Putting up new wallpaper tends to take one to two days, depending on the size of the area, whether old paper needs to be removed, and if there is any damage to walls that needs to be smoothed over or fixed.</p></div>
