Hi all I am looking to wallpaper the walls of my new bedroom however after removing the old wallpaper I am left with a lot of patchy paint over plastered wall. I have scraped and scraped to get as much of the paint of as I can. Would it be ok to wall paper over this? The wallpaper I'm using is a slightly embossed brickwork pattern. Or would I need to prep more? Current picture attached! Cheers
As long as flaky paint is off and smooth, should be ok. Can always scuff it up further with 80 grit sand paper.
As CGN has advised, don't forget to size the wall and let dry first, the brick paper will cover any imperfections on the wall.
