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’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>

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—sometimes 20 years or more—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>

Does new wallpaper add value to my home?

• <div><p>Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.</p><p>Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.</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>

Q: Do you need to prime before installing peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper</a>, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you&rsquo;re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you&rsquo;re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you&rsquo;ll need to apply a primer first.</p></div>

Perfect from start to finish. Vinny is a master at getting the seams matched perfectly and the paper placement around and behind objects was so well done. He worked with English wallpapers that needed wall prep and paste to hang correctly and each pattern had different repeats and...
