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: What other project should I do at the same time?

• <div><p>Because replacing pool tiles requires fully draining your pool, it&rsquo;s a great opportunity to complete other projects. You may want to replace your pool&rsquo;s vinyl liner or repair cracks. You might also replace your swimming pool heater or even take on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-resurface-swimming-pool.htm">cost of resurfacing your pool</a>. Resurfacing, although relatively costly, can help prolong the lifespan of your pool.</p></div>

Q: Is hanging wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p>Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don&rsquo;t have imperfections in the finished product. It&rsquo;s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.</p></div>

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: Will peel-and-stick wallpaper damage walls?

• <div><p>For the most part, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-damage-walls.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls</a>. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.</p><p>The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. </p></div>
