How should I prepare for a wallpaper project?

Wallpaper is a fantastic décor option. To have the wallpaper applied properly, you must prep your walls first. You can do this yourself, or hire a wallpaper expert.

The walls should be smooth and free of defects. All nibs need to be scraped off; depressions, voids, and cracks must be filled with spackle; and a coat of primer must be applied to the wall. The walls may also require liner paper depending on the condition that your walls are in and the wallpaper that you choose
