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>

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: How much does wallpaper installation cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hang-wallpaper.htm">cost of wallpaper installation</a> is around <b>$550 per project</b>, or between <b>$200 and $1,500</b>, for most homeowners. Since projects and application areas vary wildly by size, it&rsquo;s usually more helpful to have an estimate per square foot, which is between <b>$1 and $7 per square foot</b>, or an average of <b>$4 per square foot</b>. Project prices can fall above this range, though, especially if you purchase custom wallpaper or a luxury product. The best way to get an estimate for your project is to have a professional inspect your space and provide a quote.</p></div>

Q: What types of wallpaper are available?

• <div><p>Many types of wallpaper exist, from removable peel-and-stick options to more permanent options that involve pasting. You can also find wallpaper that you can paint over, wallpaper with a texture, and wallpaper made from various materials, such as vinyl. Some types of wallpaper are washable, which can be a great option for kitchens or if your household has small children.</p></div>

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>

Because I am a do-it-yourself kind of person, I did most of the tear downs(removed toilets, sinks, wallpaper, bad molding, carpets, linoleum). I had an electrician and a plumber on board already and I chose the appliances, toilets and sinks myself. I also did a lot of the prep and painting. Sam...
