repapered

Applied new wallcovering

To repaper is to apply new wallpaper, typically after removing the old: We repapered the bedroom in a floral pattern.

The word sometimes appears figuratively for superficial renovation that doesn't address underlying problems: They repapered the department's image without changing its culture.
