Question: Should I prime my walls before hanging wallpaper?
Top Answer (77% of 9 votes): Always.

Answer: In most cases
Explanation: Walls should usually be primed before wallpaper installation. Primer helps the wallpaper adhere properly, improves slip for positioning, creates a more uniform surface, and can make future removal easier with less wall damage. In some situations, especially on new drywall, repaired walls, glossy paint, or porous surfaces, priming is especially important. Skipping primer can lead to poor adhesion, visible imperfections, or damage when the wallpaper is removed.
