Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

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>

Does new wallpaper add value to my home?

• <div><p>Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.</p><p>Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</p></div>

Q: What's the benefit of adding wall panels?

• <div><p>Wall panels offer functional and aesthetic benefits. From a practical standpoint, panels can improve your home's insulation and energy efficiency, especially if you opt for solid wood panels. They can also help protect your existing wall.</p><p>Aesthetically, wall panels have a knack for adding dynamic texture, warmth, and sophistication to a room. And thanks to their many different shapes, sizes, and styles, wall panels can elevate a wide variety of home designs.</p><p>Finally, it&rsquo;s relatively easy to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-way-cover-fake-wood-paneling.htm">cover wall panels</a>, so you have some flexibility if you end up not liking the look over time.</p></div>
