Wallpaper Calculation

Calculating the number of wallpaper rolls you'll need to paper a room can be tricky. You'll need to consider the size of the roll, the area of the room, the number of windows and doors to paper around, and the repeat on the pattern you choose. Use this tool to get a good idea of how many rolls you'll need to buy.

Walls
  • Total length of walls in feet:
  • Round up to the nearest foot, and be sure to count all length. A room that's 12 x 15, for example, is 12 + 15 + 12 + 15 = 54 feet total in length.

  • Wall height in feet:
  • This tool assumes all walls in the room are the same height. If they're not  for example, if your room has a sloped ceiling  use this calculator twice, once for the length and height of one side of the room and once for the length and height of the other.
