Hi, so moved into a place and want to repaint the living room. Unfortunately one wall has wallpaper and the rest are painted white. The wallpaper one is long striped texture and not linen backed? from what I understand.
So my questions/problems are:
1) Can I paint over this without seeing the texture through the paint? (And if so, do I just have to give it multiple coats? - would multiple coats make the other walls look different to the wall with multiple coats?)
2) Should I use a steamer and remove the wallpaper and then paint instead? Would this damage the plasterboard under it therefore making the paint over it option safer?
