    The best way is with steam and you can rent a steamer at most rental places. Another way is to mix a solution, that you can buy at the paint store, in water brush it on and wait the prescribed time and the paper will pull off the wall, But I warn you nothing is simple.

    Another way to remove the wallpaper is to score the surface of the paper and then use a liquid fabric softner water combo and spray it on the wall. If you use about 3/4 water to 1/4 fabric softner that should be enough. Let it sit for a few minutes and scrape off... Good luck
