First laminate, then wallpaper

What are the risks in such a situation?

If you need to prime the walls, you may stain the flooring or get glue on it.

Those who like to cut wallpaper on the floor may scratch the laminate.

But then the question arises: how to apply glue if the manufacturer requires applying glue not only to the walls, but also to the wallpaper, or only to the wallpaper?

If there is no finished floor, then you can glue the wallpaper using a special machine, which not everyone has, or you will have to cover the floor with film.

But then don't forget to think about how the building materials and stepladder won't damage the coating.

In addition to the factors mentioned, there are other difficulties.

If you hang the wallpaper first, you will have to wait for it to dry before you can start laying the flooring.

Conclusion

You should decide on the order of repairs yourself.

And as practice shows, rough work is completed first, and only then do the finishing work.
