I love Josette wallpaper. I used it on my chimney breast in my old bedroom. Loved it so much, another shade went up under the dado up the stairs and in the hall in my house too. We then moved and we have it now in our new bedroom in yet another shade! I put the paper up in my old bedroom. It’s tricky but not the worst paper I have ever hung.

New lights arrived, chose two for size comparison, eventually went for something clear glass, and a choice of bulbs. If I have to look at it going upstairs it may as well look interesting, lol!

Strip the wallpaper and apply mould killer to any mould under the wallpaper before painting. You don't need a professional. Most decorating jobs can be tackled by a diy-er.

Hi Elnaz, To remove, or not to remove - this is the question! It depends on your quality requirement and budget. If you are okay with the look of it at present, then paint over is fine. Yes, you can sand painted wallpaper, as long as it's not textured wall covering (you will damage the paper and it won't look good). However, if you think that the present look is not so good and you wished to remove the paper, then it's worth engaging with a pro. This is pretty inconvenient and time consuming task, and you may create more damage to the surface, creating more work before you could paint over. We hope this helps! https://www.paintforme.co.uk/
