Q: Can mold grow behind peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren&rsquo;t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It&rsquo;s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to remove wallpaper?

• <div><p>While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.</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: Is it better to paint or remove wood paneling?

• <div><p>Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color&ndash;like white or ivory. This is essentially <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-wainscoting.htm">wainscoting</a>, but without any of the required installation. </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>
