Hello,

I want to re-decorate a room: put lining paper up and paint it (I know that the plaster is not in good shape underneath).
I have taken down the existing textured wallpaper and it has left the old lining paper pretty much intact, although it has a 'furry' surface quality to it.
My question is, would it be best to remove all of it and just start again, putting new lining paper onto the plaster, or should I leave the old lining paper up and put new lining paper on to of it (obviously I'd tear off any bits that were coming loose).

Many thanks,
Sam

The 'furry'lining is the backing of the textured paper you stripped,most decorators would strip this off & start again.
