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: Do walls have to be perfectly smooth for peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-wallpaper-on-textured-walls.htm">apply wallpaper on textured walls</a>, the peel-and-stick variety won&rsquo;t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a good wallpaper installer?

• <div><p>Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you&rsquo;re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.</p></div>

Q: Why is my wallpaper not sticking to the wall?

• <div><p>The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper take to dry?

• <div><p>While peel-and-stick wallpapers require no time to cure, the adhesives for other types of papers will take a day or two to dry and up to three weeks to fully cure. The differences are the type of paper, the type of adhesive, and the humidity and temperature in the space. </p></div>
