ᐅ Is it allowed to apply paint directly onto plaster or drywall?

Is there any reason not to paint the interior walls directly? Normally, wallpaper or a paintable wall liner is applied first, but is it possible to skip that? Painting directly is much easier and looks perfectly fine.
What if I want to wallpaper over it later—would that still be possible, or would the wallpaper not adhere properly to the paint?

I always recommend applying a primer first. Although it requires more work, the result is much better and the paint adheres much better as well. This is especially important on plaster.

I also prime drywall panels. For this, I use a deep primer, which ensures excellent adhesion of both paint and wallpaper.

Painting on your own is much better. You can save a lot of money that way. But most importantly, it gives you the feeling that you did it yourself.
The wallpaper is outdated, in my opinion.

Of course, doing the work yourself is not only enjoyable, but it also saves a significant amount of money.

Wallpaper is outdated—what do you have on the walls?
