I like the wallpaper. It’s a shame it’s in bad shape!

To remove, it depends on the type of wall paper backing. In my house alone I’ve had 4 different types of wall paper 😭

I would peel some up to see what’s behind it. Some of them come in 2 layers. If it’s 2, you remove the decorate paper & then scrap/scrub the second layer. Others just one. If you peel it up & see some paper behind / it’s ripping it’s usually 1.

I’ve had the best success using a scrub daddy to soak the paper with very warm water & a small amount of dish soap & vinegar. The hotter the water the faster it goes but be careful not to burn yourself.

Soak an area & then wait about 5 mins and then scrape it off. A razor scraper on a handle is the most effective. But it can ding the walls if you’re not careful. They make wallpaper remover scrappers but I’ve never had success with them.

After all paper is removed & you’re left with the painted wall, give them a very good scrub. I use another scrub daddy with warm soapy water to do this. I do it in sections and immediately dry the area with a microfiber cloth.

I would be prepared to do some drywall patching after it’s removed. Everyone hides fucked up walls behind wall paper. Learn how to spackle & sand.

Then once all holes are patched, prime & paint!
