Im about to decorate my bedroom and wonder if anyone can help? I need to line all the walls first, they are plasterboard and when stripping the old wallpaper some of the surface of the board got scraped off. I am planning on vertically lining the walls. I then want to paint 3 walls and paper the fourth. I plan to use 1400 grade lining paper and wonder how to deal with the internal corners, do I overlap as with wallpaper, or will this make visible ridges because the lining paper is quite thick. also if I do overlap will it cause a problem with papering the feature wall because in the corners there would then be 3 layers of paper? Any ideas would be appreciated.

i wouldn`t bother lining the wall, i`d use ready mix joint cement to repair the areas that require it, then the joint cement can be sanded down to a smooth finish, once painted over or wall papered you wouldn`t know the difference...........
 
I'd line and fill , or fill then line.
Go for 1700 grade.
Just cut straight into corners with no overlap, fill any gaps there when dry with easifill or caulk.
Donty hang the lining paper vertically if you intend to wallpaper over it !
