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>

Q: Does peel-and-stick wallpaper hold up in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-apply-peel-and-stick-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> can hold up to environments with some level of moisture, such as bathrooms&mdash;especially peel-and-stick wallpapers made of vinyl or polyester. However, if you&rsquo;re considering wallpapering a bathroom that sees a <i>lot</i> of moisture, like a kids&rsquo; bathroom or a full bathroom with a steamy shower and inadequate ventilation, even the highest quality wallpapers will peel.</p></div>

Q: Will peel-and-stick wallpaper damage walls?

• <div><p>For the most part, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-damage-walls.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls</a>. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.</p><p>The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. </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: Is hanging wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p>Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don&rsquo;t have imperfections in the finished product. It&rsquo;s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.</p></div>
