Paint over wallpaper, or remove??
I have a ROOM FULL of wallpaper in the bedroom of my new condo. I would really like to paint the room - do I have to remove the wallpaper??

And, as the previous poster says, there so much prep either way, why not do it right.
I’d opt for stripping the wallpaper, sanding the walls, priming and two coats of finish. It’s the right way to do it.
Break the steps into smaller projects if it makes it easier.

Best of luck.
