Q: What do I do with excess wallpaper?

• <div><p>You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.</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>

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>

Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;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>
