Use the measuring tools to determine the width of the wall from end to end. If the wall is uneven, measure at multiple points and record the maximum width.

Similarly, measure the height of the wall. Note down the highest measurement if the wall is not uniform.

Once measurements are obtained, consider using an online wallpaper calculator, available on our e-shop. Input the width and height of the space to determine the number of wallpaper rolls needed. The calculator accounts for factors like pattern repeat, roll width, and roll length.

It is a simple online tool that you will find in our e-shop for each product. You just need to enter the width and height of the space you will be wallpapering, and the calculator will determine how many rolls of each wallpaper you will need. In the wallpaper calculator, you will also encounter these terms:

  • Roll width
  • Roll length
  • Wallpaper pattern repeat

Pattern Repeat and Roll Length:

  • Pattern Repeat: This is the distance over which the wallpaper pattern repeats. It affects the amount needed to cover the wall while maintaining pattern continuity. The smaller the pattern repeat, the less waste during installation.
  • Roll Length: This indicates the length of wallpaper on one roll. It's measured in meters and is crucial for calculating consumption.

Buying Extra Wallpaper

It's advisable to purchase additional wallpaper to have a reserve for potential repairs. This precaution ensures that the same wallpaper or production batch can be obtained later if needed.

Calculation Without an Online Calculator

For those preferring manual calculations, the formula is as follows:

Number of Rolls=(Height of Underlying Walls×Sum of Widths of Wallpapered Surfaces−Windows and Doors on Wallpapered Surfaces)×1.1/(Roll Length×Roll Width)

While this formula is relatively straightforward, utilizing an online calculator can save time and minimize the risk of miscalculations.
