Will putting up wall paper mess up the wall paint at all thats underneath it?

Question

I'm getting an apartment and I'm trying to figure out if theres a wat to put up wall paper that they wont get mad about and wont damage the walls when I take it off?

Answer 1

check out martha stewart's site. she always has info on hanging wallpaper (although i am almost 100% sure that there is a risk of damaging the walls, and definitely the paint when removing wallpaper), decorating walls, etc. etc. also check out blik.com. they sell removable wall decals that won't hurt the paint.

also, a new coat of paint will probably look nicer than wallpaper, which is a pain to put up, but it will also be easier to fix without risking losing your security deposit, because all you have to do is paint over your new paint a couple times before you move out. wallpaper is an even BIGGER pain to take down.
