We currently have the majority of walls with vertically hung lining paper that has been painted.
The walls are all in good condition and appear to be flat and smooth. The main downside is the lining paper joins showing.
I was debating whether to remove the lining paper to paint the walls, but removing painted lining paper would not be easy, and we could end up with walls that look worse in appearance than what we have now?
If we do emulsion over the previously painted lining paper, should we do any prep on the paper first? Also, is there any good technique or product that can help disguise the joins?
