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>

Q: What is the best wallpaper to hide imperfections?

• <div><p>Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. </p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to paint or wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs <b>$320 to $820</b> when applied by a pro, while paint only costs <b>$200 to $700 per room</b>. However, when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">wallpaper versus paint</a>, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of accent walls?

• <div><p>Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don&rsquo;t fit in with a room&rsquo;s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it&rsquo;s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.</p></div>

Q: How can wallpaper be covered without removing it?

• <div><p>Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it&rsquo;s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You&rsquo;ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.</p></div>

"Richie Wall covering did an amazing job wallpapering two bathrooms. We designed custom wallpaper that was challenging to hang and our walls weren't even. Two other wallpaper services messed up the install. Richie was able to fix their work and get the wallpaper up in both bathrooms. Both look great! Richie and his team are polite, fair and do what is needed to get the job done right."

"Jose did a great job. He was able to remove old, nasty wallpaper in our foyer and gave it a fresh look. He also installed crown molding in the foyer, painted the stairs and installed trim around the entrances to the other rooms. He performed his work on schedule, even if that meant working late to finish the project. Overall I would definitely recommend him and would use him in the future."
