Perk up a dark and dowdy paneled wall with a fresh wallpaper cover-up. 1. If the grooves in your paneling are 1/4 inch deep or more, hide them by filling them with caulk. Wipe away the overflow of caulk by running a putty knife along the groove. 2. Once caulk is dry, prime the paneling with a stain-blocking latex primer. Let dry completely. Coat walls with an acrylic-emulsion sizing or one recommended by the liner manufacturer. Sizing creates a rough surface to help the liner adhere. 3. A heavy-duty wallpaper liner, available where wallpaper is sold, is the secret to the project's success. Hang the liner horizontally. This ensures that the seams of the liner and the decorative wallpaper won't align. 4. Finally, hang decorative wallpaper vertically over the liner.
