How to Calculate How Much Wallpaper You Really Need
One of the most common questions people ask before buying wallpaper is simple - how much do I actually need? Ordering too little can delay your project, and ordering too much feels wasteful.
Here is a simple way to get it right.
1. Measure your walls properly
Measure the height and width of each wall you plan to wallpaper. Always use wall height, not ceiling height guesswork.
2. Check the roll size
Not all wallpaper rolls are the same. Length and width matter, especially with murals or patterned designs.
3. Consider pattern repeat
If your wallpaper has a pattern, extra material is needed to line it up correctly. The larger the pattern, the more extra you should allow.
4. Add a little extra
Always add about 10 percent extra for cuts, corners, and small mistakes. This saves stress later.
5. Buy from the same batch
Wallpaper from the same batch ensures color consistency across all walls. This is especially important for feature walls and full rooms.
