Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’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>

Q: Can I use peel-and-stick wallpaper to prevent future damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-removable.htm">Peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is designed to be removed cleanly without damaging paint or drywall&mdash;as long as the surface was properly primed or painted beforehand. Its ease of removal makes it a great choice for renters or anyone who wants a less permanent design choice. Be sure to apply it to a clean, smooth, and dry surface for optimal results. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper in a bathroom last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan. </p></div>

Q: Are white walls going out of style?

• <div><p>White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.</p></div>

Q: What’s a good alternative to a magnetic paint wall?

• <div><p>If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/waterproof-paint.htm">waterproof paint</a> in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead. </p><p>If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you&rsquo;re a renter who can&rsquo;t repaint or plan to move in the near future.</p></div>
