Good evening,
I want to renovate a room in an old building.
The walls look like in the pictures. The plaster is peeling off in many places, leaving a surface with green paint.
In the end, I want to wallpaper the wall with woodchip wallpaper.

My question: What is the best way to prepare the wall (preferably with little effort) so that the wallpaper looks good and no unevenness is visible?

Thank you in advance.

Knock off or scrape away all loose material, prime the surface, and reapply filler. After that, sand and wallpaper.

Get yourself a large scraper with a long handle and get started. Once everything that’s loose is removed, clean well with water and a brush. Then fill the holes with filler and wallpaper. Have fun. The blisters on your hands will go away; the room will look nice for a while. It’s worth it :-)
