How to Use This Calculator

  1. Measure the width and height of each wall you plan to wallpaper
  2. Enter the total number of walls (typically 4 for a room)
  3. Check your wallpaper roll for width (usually 21" or 27") and length (typically 33')
  4. If your wallpaper has a repeating pattern, enter the pattern repeat distance
  5. Subtract any large windows or doors from the total area

How We Calculate Wallpaper

Total Wall Area: Width × Height × Number of Walls

Usable Area: Total Area - Windows/Doors

Roll Coverage: (Roll Width ÷ 12) × Roll Length

Rolls Needed: Usable Area ÷ Roll Coverage × Waste Factor

The waste factor is 1.1 (10%) for solid colors and 1.2 (20%) for patterns to account for matching and trimming.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much extra wallpaper should I buy?

We recommend 10-15% extra for solid colors and 15-20% for patterns. Our calculator already includes this allowance.

What is pattern repeat?

Pattern repeat is the distance between where a pattern repeats on the wallpaper. It's important for matching patterns across strips.

Should I subtract windows and doors?

Only subtract large windows and doors. Small windows and standard doors are often left in the calculation as a buffer.
