Can I wallpaper over a roughly plastered wall?

We recommend only wallpapering on flat, smooth surfaces. On rough walls, unevenness can become visible through the wallpaper and the glue may not adhere as well. This increases the chance of air bubbles and visible seams, or even the wallpaper coming loose. For the best result, a smooth wall is essential.
