How does wallpaper come out finished?


Question:I want to use wallpaper for a home theater (200 inches diagnol) and was wondering how good it would look;seamless,smooth,no bubbles etc. My wall is somewhat texturexed and it would be too time consuming to resurface it and too expensive to get an actual screen that size.
Any suggestions on making wallpaper as clean and nice looking as possible? thanks!

Answers:
The time you invest trying to get wallpaper smooth would be better spent resurfacing the wall. If you don't want to sand/fill the wall, consider adding a layer of drywall directly onto the textured wall.

Basically, nail a new surface onto the exiting wall. Tape, mud and sand the seams, paint with product specifically designed for projector walls (ask at the home center). If you remove and replace the baseboards, and do a good job with the tape and mud, it'll look nicer than all the patching and smoothing you'd do to 'fix' a textured wall.


Spend the money, do it right, all else will fail eventually
