Can I wallpaper over wallpaper?Updated 4 months ago

Yes, but it depends on the condition of the current wallpaper and the type of new wallpaper.

When it's okay:

• The existing wallpaper is smooth, intact, and firmly attached.
• There's only one layer of wallpaper.

When it's not okay:

• The old wallpaper is textured, damaged, peeling, or has multiple layers.
• The new wallpaper is thin and might show the pattern underneath.

Preparation tips:

• Clean the old wallpaper to remove dust and grease.
• Repair any tears or bubbles.
• Apply a primer or sealer for a smooth base.

For the best results, removing the old wallpaper is usually better. If you're unsure, consult a professional installer.
