Looking for an answer as to what to do with walls in bathroom

Question

Took wallpaper off that had been on for many years.  Didn't come off very good and left the walls in bad shape.  Now I need to know what I can do to cover up the mess and what to put on the walls.

Elizabeth Michels Pinizzotto · Answer

I would ask if you want smooth walls or textured. If smooth you may have to sand or putty over the really rough spots before you could paint. If you use texture in your paint, it will be much less work to prep the walls.

you can use textured wallpaper in very plain hue and no pattern, or cover with bead board.

Also, textured wallpaper covers a lot of flaws, just don't get anything shiny

Have you sanded them? You may just need to sand them.

Use some vinegar and hot water and get the rest of the paper off. Scrub glue with a sponge, and hot water.
