Paint Over Wallpaper

If the wallpaper is in good condition and not made of vinyl, it may be possible to paint over it rather than remove it. When painting over wallpaper, prime it first with a shellac-based stain blocking primer or one made for painting over wallpaper. Test the primer on a small area first and allow it to dry to be sure it doesn't cause the glue in the paper to pull loose.
