Painting a room is one of my favorite ways to decorate without spending a lot of money. I have found that I can paint a room for around $30 and it completely changes the look and the feel of the room.
Unfortunately, when you have a room with wallpaper you have a lot more work on your hands than just painting over the walls.
When we moved into our house there were 8 rooms with wallpaper. Our house was a foreclosure and almost all of the wallpaper was torn up. I just started removing the wallpaper from the last wallpapered room the other day.
After so many rooms with wallpaper, I have tried many different methods. I even bought a wallpaper steamer to remove the wallpaper. Turns out the easiest way to remove wallpaper is inexpensive, no need for any expensive tools or a wallpaper steamer.
Check out my tips below on how to easily remove wallpaper!
To easily remove your wallpaper you will need a few things. You may already have everything you already need.
- spray bottle (just a cheap one from the dollar store will work)
- fabric softener (again just a cheap one from the dollar store)
- putty knife
- this remover tool
Step 1: Start by mixing up a small batch of spray. You will want to mix about 1 cup of fabric softener with 1 cup of very hot water.
You can make a larger batch, but the easiest way to remove wallpaper is when the spray is still hot so I like doing small batches to keep the spray warm.
Step 2: Once you have the spray mixed take your wallpaper remover tool and gently roll it over a section of wallpaper.
I have found it is easiest to work in small (about 2 feet by 3 feet) sections.
