How it is calculated
Wallpaper goes up in vertical strips. We count how many strips fit across the walls and how many come out of each roll, with a little extra for trimming. A pattern repeat makes each strip start at the same point of the design, which uses more paper.
Example
Walls totaling 48 ft, 8 ft high, minus 6 ft of doors and windows, with 20.5 in × 33 ft rolls: 25 strips and 9 rolls.
These are estimates to plan your purchase. Check measurements on site and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes.
