Can I hang new wallpaper over the top of existing wallpaper?

We do not recommend it although it is possible if you are hanging over flat wallpaper, hanging over textured or vinyl paper will not be successful as the paper will not adhere properly. It is always better to strip the existing paper before proceeding.
