Wallpaper over knock-own texture

[nicolewi]

Has anyone done this? I'd kind of like to do a fun wallpaper in the powder room as we think about re-doing it, but we have knock-down texture. Has anyone done this? Did you have to skim-coat the wall first to make it work or make it look good?

We did have to skim coat + paint over the skim coat (prior to installing the peel and stick wallpaper). It definitely made a huge difference in both the look & durability.

It was a few weekends of work to do a single (large-ish) wall in our daughter's room.
