We'll then wallpaper all the rooms except in the bathroom where there'll be wall tiles, given that room's dampness

Why does tapisser not work here as a translation of wallpaper (verb)?

Hi Jeuri,

You could use 'tapisser' but as the verb can also mean 'to upholster' it is safer to use -

mettre/poser du papier peint 

Hope this helps!
