If you're watching this video, chances are you've found yourself between a rock and a hard place. You've got a room that's covered in wallpaper, and its time for a change. The question is, do you invest the time and effort it will undoubtedly take the remove said wallpaper...or can you just paint over it? This is a loaded question, no doubt- but fortunately, we're here to help you decide.

As a rule of thumb, its ALMOST ALWAYS BETTER TO REMOVE the wallpaper first.

If you find yourself in a position in which you'd rather try your luck with painting over your wallpaper instead of removing it (gasp!), there's a few tips we can give you (like how to hide the seams) to help ensure you're successful- and if you do it right, no one will ever know there's wallpaper under there at all!
