Do I need to paint or prime before I wallpaper?Updated 6 months ago

Yes, we do recommend priming your wall before hanging wallpaper. Primer will provide a uniform and smooth surface that’s ideal for the adhesion of the wallpaper. Priming will also make removing the wallpaper 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.
