If the paint remains in place, then holding up well, and the Wallpaper can be glued directly on top of it. But before that you need to give it a slight roughness. If the pieces of paint behind the wall, but still with plaster and paint from the wall you want to remove. In fact, and in another case you need to carefully inspect all the walls. Where the paint swells or bursts, it must be cleaned, the surface is primed. And already only after that to glue Wallpaper. About to fall off from the paint will not be thanks to the ground.

2. If the walls have been painted with latex paint, it is necessary before wallpapering rinse. It is inconvenient and time-consuming, but necessary. Because old paint tends to crumble, and therefore does not provide a sufficient coupling with the wall. So just glued the Wallpaper can easily move away from the walls, along with remnants of old paint. If you have on the walls there is a thick layer of whitewash, its first need to scrape with a spatula. Before that, do not forget to wet the chalk with water. The remaining thin layer of paint simply washed off with water using a large paintbrush, sponge or cloth.

Check whether all the paint you removed, just having a hand on the wall. If the fingers and palm traces of chalk is not observed, then the wall is washed. If still something remains, you should continue to wash. Then the walls should be thoroughly dried. And start wallpapering.
