Large pictures? Why can't you take it off? You could always add 3/8" sheetrock over the old wall and start with a fresh surface.
If you ever decide to attempt removal, here are some steps. It's not terribly difficult and if you can live with the "in process", just take your time.
Peel as much as possible from the walls.
If you can't get to the backing, you may need to score the paper with a tool. Paper
Tiger is easy to find. Light pressure because you don't want to damage the wall
behind the paper.
Mix 50/50 fabric softener & warm water in a spray bottle or garden sprayer. I've read that vinegar is as effective but I have never used it.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 - 10 minutes so that it saturates the adhesive on the
paper backing.
Scrape with a plastic scraper.
Once it is all removed, wash the walls with warm soapy water (blue Dawn is my go-to) and a microfiber cloth.
That said, try cutting a small slit in the paper and pressing it down. It could be an air bubble or adhesive build up.
I had this problem, too! I used a textured wall paint (Lowes sells it) over the wall paper. When it dried it looked like a stuccoed wall. Gorgeous.
yES I THINK I WILL GIVE THIS A GO AS I AM DISABLED AND PAINTING IS AN EASIER WAY FOR ME. I WILL HAVE TO TRY AND FIND SOME TEXTERED PAINT, AS I DONT KNOW WHERE I COULD BUY THIS. THANK YOU JAYNE
You could hang up a piece of artwork or a photo over the area!
