Ask your QuestionWould dado rail suit a room with wallpaper? And can it be added atop wallpapered wall for that matter?
Asked by jonathan on 30th May 2022"Hi Jonathan,
Yes, you can put this over the wallpaper but if you need to remove it you will have to remove the wallpaper as well.
Dados are usually fixed with nails and grab adhesive so when that dries it will adhere to the wallpaper like glue."
"You can't fix a dado rail to wall paper. As there is no fixing to the actual wall. So it could fall off in time"

Answered on 8th Jun 2022 - Member since Feb 2022 - report"Yes. A dado rail does suit a room with wallpaper. The general rule is to wallpaper above the dado rail. Below the dado rail is normally painted or have a wallpaper of a different pattern or design"
