... is lovely but the complementing wallpaper is not complementing it at all - a grey, silver and white elderflower vynl wallpaper. I'm thinking of trying a dull grey... See more
I would not paint over w/p! We bought house, had w/p painted over! It is a real pain to deal with. Remove it, you’ll be glad u did
Hi! You’ll have to remove the paper before painting. Painted wallpaper will bubble up. The only difference would be Anaglypta paper which is totally paintable.
depends on the condition of your wall paper... if it is in very good condition - no peeling, staining or tears- then use a primer first. and then paint.
I agree with Carol. It can be painted but make sure you sand seems and any imperfections.
Technically you can paint over wallpaper but I wouldn't do it. The paper has to be solidly on the wall or it will peel off. Take the time to do it right and remove the old paper first.
Wet the wall paper, use a putty knife to scrape the wall paper off. Don’t paint over it, it’ll bubble
You can paint over it as long as it's tight to the wall. To remove it, rent a steamer.
