Should the ceiling be painted first before putting wallpaper on the walls to avoid any potential splattering issues?

Hey, quick question – when you’re painting a room, do you usually start with the ceiling or the walls? I’ve heard that it’s best to paint the ceiling first and then move on to the walls (that way if any paint splatters on the walls, you can easily cover it up). But what if you’re planning to put up wallpaper on the walls instead? Just wondering what your thoughts are on this! Thanks!
Start by painting the ceiling to avoid getting spots on the wallpaper or accidentally tearing it while removing tape.
You basically solved your own question about painting the ceiling first
Prime the walls before painting to make removing wallpaper easier in the future, then focus on the trim
Start with the ceilings
Start by painting your ceiling before anything else.
Ceilings should always be your first focus, gravity always wins!
