You are going to have to sand it. If the texture is very fine, then just change the color, and if you want a vast change then you have to sand it (fine sand paper if the texture is fine and a higher grit of sand paper if the texture is quite deep.) If you can't be bothered doing this then you'll have to take the wall down and wall-board it. The other option you have (I'd do this if the texture is deep) is plastering the wall and this is only meant if there are rough swirls on the wall. Sandy type paint should be lightly sanded down to prepare for your new coat of paint.

What is texture painting?
These days most of the better know manufactures of interior/exterior paint make one or more kinds of texture paint. These are paints made with a thickening agent in them that when applied with a fluffy or textured roller leave a "textured" finish. The first and best known of these is the paint applied to ceilings, that leaves a rough "stucco" look. This finish however is not recommended for walls or floors as the "texture does not adhere well when touched. Now you can buy suede finish and stone finish and any number of other finishes that are more durable and in some cases will withstand outdoor application.

How smooth does a wall need to be before papering?
It depends on the type of wallpaper you are going to put up. If the paper is textured, it will be somewhat forgiving of nooks and crannies in the wall surface. However, if your wall is textured, you need to sand off the texture. There is a long handled sander tool that you can get to help with this.

How do you begin to paint a wall in you house?
I am not sure how much detail you will need. Are you asking about painting a wall with a brush and roller?? For starters, I figure how much paint will be needed and buy the paint. Get out your tools and drop cloth(s) and prepare the area so you will have enough room to work. Remove picture hangers and switchplates. Spackle the holes, let that dry and sand where appropriate (for pin holes just use your finger to apply the spackling, no sanding necessary). If you sand on a textured wall, you make have to repair the texture, so this would be done before painting too. I will put a piece of tape over the baseboard to prevent drips and paint from landing on it. Cut the edges and corners with a brush and then roll the paint on the rest of the wall with your paint roller. Remove the tape from the baseboard and then cut your line from the wall to the baseboard while the rest of the paint is still wet. Does this answer your question??
