Wondering, Can you wallpaper over wood paneling, Yes it can be done. Wallpapering over wood paneling is a great way to refresh and modernise your space without the hassle of removing old panels. Transform your space easily by following these simple steps.

Can You Put Wallpaper On Paneling?

Preparing the Surface:

 

  • The wooden surface has to be prepared properly. Nails have to be removed using pliers. Fill the holes using a filling compound and let it dry completely.

  • The caulk overflow has to be removed using a putty knife. When the wall is dry, remove any dust or moulds.

  • The edge trim and pry bar has to be removed. The outlet covers should be removed using a screwdriver.

Priming Wood Panels: Use a roller to put on a coat of primer. Use even strokes. The primer has to dry overnight before inserting the wallpaper.

Cutting Wallpaper to Cover Wood Paneling:

  • The length of the wallpaper surface should be known to get the right amount of wallpaper. Length= Total Length* Height of the wall. The total number of wallpaper rolls also has to be calculated.

  •  The length of the strip is height of the wall + four inches. This will help account for two excess inches for trimming.

Attaching Wallpaper over Paneling: Select the right wallpaper.  It could be unpasted, pasted or liner paper. Wallpaper paste also sticks to wood paneling with proper priming and prep.

Fitting Wallpaper Over Wood Panels: Wallpaper has to be prepped properly over wood. The paper has to be folded properly while applying paste. Then the wallpaper has to be hung after removing excess paste with the help of a putty knife.

I hope this helps you understand can you put wallpaper over paneling.
