We are renovating and would like to put wallpaper on a cork wall. Is it possible to put non-woven (paste on wall) wallpaper on it?

    I would remove the cork so the wallpaper adheres correctly

    tou can apply wallpaper to cork but the nature of cork will result in a short paper life.

    I think you could gesso the whole cork wall (paint, plaster, glue for this), but I think you had better get flat-edged shovels and scrape the cork off the wall. 😇

    It might be hard to maintain, best is to remove the cork or covr it to make it more adhere-able- good luck :)

    Cork is very porous and doesn't take well to glue or tack, I would remove it and then paper. Or it might be possible to prime it and paint it and then paper over it, but I would ask a pro about that. Wallpaper is mess to remove if it doesn't work out, so I'd want to be sure about it sticking well before I started.

    You should really remove the cork for the best results.
