Wallpapering over painted walls: what to look out for

You can wallpaper over a painted wall if the paint is firmly stuck, does not powder and is not glossy. A painted wall hardly absorbs, so the glue must be suitable for a non-absorbent substrate, and a glossy coat is sanded matt first. If the paint is flaking or chalking, that has to be dealt with first, because wallpaper never bonds better than the paint layer beneath it.
