How to Measure Your Walls and Calculate Wallpaper Needed

 

👉 CLICK HERE TO USE OUR CALCULATOR 👈

Decorating your walls with wallpaper can instantly transform the look and feel of any room. However, before you embark on your wallpapering journey, it's essential to accurately measure your walls and calculate how much wallpaper you'll need. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you begin measuring, gather the necessary tools:

• Measuring tape
• Pen or pencil
• Paper for note-taking

Step 2: Measure the Height of Your Walls

Start by measuring the height of each wall you plan to wallpaper, from floor to ceiling. Measure at multiple points along the wall to account for any irregularities. Record the highest measurement to ensure you have enough wallpaper to cover the entire height.

Example:

• Wall Height: 96 inches (243.8 cm)

Step 3: Measure the Width of Your Walls

Next, measure the width of each wall you plan to wallpaper. Measure horizontally from one end of the wall to the other, including any doors or windows within that space. Again, measure at multiple points along the wall and record the widest measurement.

Example:

• Wall Width: 144 inches (365.8 cm)

Step 6: Round Up

It's always a good idea to round up to the nearest whole number to ensure you have enough wallpaper to cover any mistakes or miscalculations.

Step 7: Final Check

Before making your purchase, double-check your measurements and calculations to ensure accuracy. It's also wise to add an extra sheet or two to your order as a precaution.

By following these steps, you can confidently measure your walls and calculate the amount of wallpaper needed for your next decorating project. With the right amount of wallpaper on hand, you'll be well-equipped to create a stunning and cohesive look in any room of your home.

⏎ Returns and Refunds

How long will it take to receive my refund?

We understand the frustration of tied-up funds in a refund process, so we swiftly initiate refunds through our payment providers. Once requested on your behalf, please allow up to 10 business days for the refund to reflect in your account.

Do all your wallpapers (pre-pasted, traditional, peel & stick, and commercial vinyl) have the same look, feel, color, brightness, and print?

Each wallpaper material has its own unique texture, finish, and how it absorbs ink—so variations in color, brightness, and sheen are normal. If you're deciding between materials, we recommend ordering samples of each type to compare how they appear in your specific lighting and environment.

If you order a sample in one wallpaper type, then place a large order in another type expecting a visual match, this will not be eligible for a refund.

🎁 Products

Can I glue wallpaper directly onto un-primed un-painted drywall?

It’s not advisable to apply wallpaper directly to unprimed drywall, as its porous surface can absorb the adhesive. For the best results and to ensure proper adhesion, it's recommended to prime the walls first to create a smooth, sealed surface for the wallpaper.
The Roman Pro-977 is a good option: https://romandecoratingproducts.com/product/pro-977/

Can I apply wallpaper to a textured wall?

For optimal results, your wall should be smooth and clean before applying wallpaper. Textured walls can cause adhesion problems, shrinkage, peeling, mold growth, and an uneven, textured appearance on your wallpaper.

Should I hire a professional wallpaper installer?

Yes! To avoid costly mistakes and ensure your wallpaper is installed flawlessly, we highly recommend hiring a professional. Their expertise will help protect your investment and ensure a stunning result.

What is a "pattern drop"?

A "pattern drop" refers to how a design on wallpaper repeats and aligns from one sheet or panel to the next.
In wallpapers with a continuous or repeating design, there's often an offset (or drop) between the pattern on adjacent panels.
This means that when you install the wallpaper, you need to align the design so that the pattern flows seamlessly across the wall.
The "pattern drop" is essentially the vertical distance between repeating elements of the design. It’s an important factor to consider for ensuring a cohesive look and may affect how much extra wallpaper you need to account for during installation.

What is the pattern repeat and match for your wallpaper?

Most of our wallpapers are 28 x 28 inches wide, and each sheet features the same design alignment—this is called a 'straight match.' It means the pattern repeats consistently across each sheet, so when installed side by side, the design lines up perfectly. This ensures a seamless flow and makes installation straightforward.
The specific pattern dimensions can be found on the product page for each wallpaper.

Which wallpaper glue/paste do you recommend?

We recommend the Roman 838: https://romandecoratingproducts.com/product/pro-838/

What type of pattern match are your wallpapers?

All of our wallpapers are printed with a straight match pattern. This means that each sheet is printed with the same pattern alignment across its width, so the design lines up perfectly from one sheet to the next when installed side by side. This makes the installation process easier and ensures a seamless, cohesive look on your wall.
