so there's this wall in my living room, i thought it was cute wallpaper but last week it started peeling. corners stuck to the plaster, there's this white film that looks like the glue used in paint or whatever. i tried peeling gently but it just drops layers of paint with it. i’m worried it’ll leave a mess or ruin the color.

what’s the best way to remove it cleanly? do people use dish soap + warm water, or is there a special wallpaper remover? i hate scuff marks from brushes; the floor is hardwood so i need a low impact approach.

budget? i want to keep this under $50 if possible. also, i’d like to patch it back together; is there a decent adhesive that keeps the pattern intact? any brand or trick i’ve missed? help!!

edit: i tried rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, got no effect, so i’m stuck. 4/10 stress, want to fix quickly.

something thats been bugging me lately... why do people go all out on one room and then the rest of the house Looks like a completely different person lives there?? is it really that hard to pick a theme and stick with it?? i mean i get it, tastes change, people evolve... but come on, a little consistency would be nice. whats the point of having a perfectly designed living room if the bedroom looks like a thrift store exploded in it?? do people even notice this stuff or am i just weird for caring??
