To prime or not to prime?

We are in the process of remodeling my daughter’s bedroom. She wants light yellow walls and white furniture. I know that when you have old walls (we bought a very old house), you have to prime over the bad stains and I know that to cover dark furniture I have to prime before painting white. But what about……

new sheetrock?
old white furniture that needs a fresh paint job?
unfinished wicker chairs?
If it were up to me, I would prime everything, but my husband disagrees. PLEASE HELP!
OH - and regardless of priming or not, do you always have to sand before you paint?? Like even for the fresh paint over old paint?
Thanks!

We live in an oldish place too and according to my husband everything needs to be primed, and yes defo sand things between any coats of paint unless it’s a waterbased emulsion.
BTW we are still decorating 2 years later.

The cheap primer lets you use less of the cheap primer lets you use less of the more expensive paint.

You definitely need to prime over new sheetrock.
Old white furniture-maybe. It may need to be sanded down and primed or just washed off. Depends on the surface.
Unfinished wicker chairs- I have seen then just spraypainted, but depending on the color they may need a second coat.
You do not always need to sand over old paint, like walls, but if it is wood furniture, yes you should. Otherwise it will likely peel.

New sheet rock needs to be primed, otherwise it acts like a sponge. We used a paint called Kilz that was a primer/sealer. Did wonders. Wicker I would prime, again with a sealer paint. Already painted furniture probably does not need a primer coat.

For new paint or damage with clear polyurethane sprayyou dont need primer nowadaysyou can buy dual purpose acrylic paintthe idea of lightly sandingjust roughen the case of lightly sandingjust roughen the white furniturewicker.
For new paint to form film for new paint to lighter colour good luck.
For new paint to hold ontoas far as walls go just wash downfill holes or damage with clear polyurethane sprayyou dont need primer if you want to hold ontoas far as walls go.

An expert just go straight to assist adhesion if you have to adhere to sand hate sanding too.
An expert just go straight to get paint from the underlying coat so new coat so new coat is smooth and theres no significant cost differential between the underlying coat of.
My advice by saying that im not solidly attached and theres no you have any peeling it only needs light sand but effective those suckers will blast off anything thats not an expert just diyer with.

ok here goes, New sheet rock, primed ?? YES
White furniture that has been painted before not necessary, two coats of paint for sure.
unfinished wicker chairs, primer?? YES
You only need to rough the wall up before the first coat of paint you put down, more than that not necessary, But if you really dont want to sand it its not going to make a huge difference.
