Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure the walls for wallpaper?
Measure the width and height of each wall, then multiply these measurements to get the area of each wall. Add up all the areas to get the total wall surface area.
What is the coverage area of a roll of wallpaper?
The coverage area varies by brand and type, but it’s usually listed on the packaging or can be found online. Commonly, a single roll covers about 50 to 70 square feet.
How do I calculate the number of rolls needed?
Divide the total wall surface area by the coverage area of one roll. Round up to the nearest whole number to ensure you have enough wallpaper.

Yes, subtract the areas of doors and windows from the total wall surface area before calculating the number of rolls needed.
What should I consider if my walls have different textures or patterns?
If your walls have different textures or patterns, you may need to purchase additional rolls for matching. It’s also a good idea to measure and calculate each section separately.
Can I use this calculator for irregularly shaped rooms?
