February 26, 20197 yr Plastering (onto plasterboard / timber stud walls, not masonry) is part finished so we can start painting (mist coats etc). My daughter wants some wallpaper in her bedroom and a friend said her builder had advised waiting at least a year before putting wallpaper up onto fresh plaster. Does that have any merit? Or can we mist coat the wall and then wallpaper it? Or something else?

So I can't put this off for a year then ? - going to have to hang wallpaper for the first time......
