Do I need to paint or prime before I wallaper?Updated 5 months ago

Yes, we recommend priming the wall before hanging your wallpaper. Primer will provide a uniform and smooth surface that’s ideal for the adhesion of the wallpaper. Priming the wall will also make removal easier, if you want to redecorate in the future. 


Smooth (not textured) painted walls are also good for wallpapering, so long as the paint has cured (usually four weeks) and isn't glossy, like lacquer.
