Should I paint or wallpaper?
First of all, you can consider I have zero knowledge on plumbing, construction, house renovation and such so the terms that I'm using may not be correct.
The wall(in red) previously had issue with water seepage/wet wall that caused the paint become bubbly and such.
The problem was with the roof drainage(terrace house). We believe the renovation of our neighbour and what it did to the roof drainage system spoilt which was perfectly fine before.
Long story short, we believe we may have rectified the issue and now thinking to put on wallpaper on the wall.
So now, I scrapped some of the paint off the wall. At some part(yellow), I may scrapped more than paint I think but not sure what's that. Plaster maybe?
Please tell what needs to be done:
The wall needs to be undercoat, yes?
Do I need to even out the yellow part with rest of the wall first before undercoat it? If so, what should I do specifically? Plaster?
What kind of wallpaper design/pattern is suitable do you think?
Or should I just paint?
Anything else I should know/missing?
Please advise. Thank you!
