You shouldn’t paint over wallpaper if the risk is disappointing results. Painting over wallpaper successfully requires proper preparation. Spraying the surface with material like sandblasting rock abrasion or using an adhesive to spread the material onto the wall then applying it in layers by hand or power tools.

Can you put textured paint over wallpaper? Paint the wall with primer. When you add in new texture over paint, it adds in an extra load to the existing glue of that wallpaper. Using textured paint, apply two coats to the wall, allowing it to dry between coats.
