New apartment or tired of the old colors?

How practical when you can simply paint over it.

But you should follow these guidelines.

There can be many reasons for

someone

wanting to

paint a

wall

: When moving out of the old apartment *, most landlords ask for it or when moving into the new apartment you want to make it look pretty yourself.

Some people just get bored when looking at the walls, which are always the same color, and they would like more variety in their own four walls.

Painting a wall yourself is relatively easy.

But can you actually

paint

a wall

as often as

you like?

Who knows exactly how often the previous tenants have already painted?

First of all, it's good to know that the texture of the wall plays a role: Do you have

plaster or wallpaper

?

How often can I paint a plastered wall?

In principle, plastered walls can be painted as often as you like.

However, one should note that with each painting, the

structure of the plaster

is lost a little.

Most people like plaster on the wall precisely because of the structure.

You should therefore carefully consider whether a

new coat of paint is necessary

or not.

Painting walls - This is what happens when you paint over your wallpaper too often

It looks different with

wallpaper

.

You shouldn't paint it over too often.

Because: Each layer of paint adds

weight

.

If it gets too much weight, the

wallpaper

may

peel off

the wall

or the paint may peel.

When that happens, you should remove the old wallpaper and re-wallpaper or paint.

Another danger is that every new coat of paint will seal the wall, causing

mold

to

grow

can lead.

As a guideline, experts therefore state that you should

only paint woodchip wallpaper up to four times
