Best Practices for Calculating the Right Amount of Wallpaper
Calculating the square footage of a wall accurately is crucial for determining how much wallpaper you need to purchase. Here are some best practices to ensure you get it right the first time:
1.- Measure the Width and Height:
Start by measuring the width and height of each wall you plan to wallpaper. Use a tape measure for accuracy. Record these measurements in feet or inches, depending on your preference. Our wallpaper calculator above uses inches, so convert your measurement to inches before using the Calculator provided above.
2.- Calculate the Area:
Multiply the height by the width to get the square footage of each wall. For example, if a wall is 8 feet high and 12 feet wide, the area is 96 square feet (8 x 12 = 96).
3.- No Need to Account for Doors and Windows:
Not subtracting doors and windows from the measurement of a wall is to ensure you have extra wallpaper for pattern matching and potential mistakes. By including the entire wall area, you account for any additional wallpaper needed to align patterns correctly and cover any errors that might occur during installation. This approach provides a buffer, ensuring you don't run out of wallpaper mid-project and have enough material to achieve a seamless and professional finish.
4.- Consider Extra for Pattern Matching:
If you're using patterned wallpaper, add an extra 10-15% to your total square footage to account for pattern matching and any mistakes. This ensures you have enough wallpaper to align patterns correctly.
5.- Round Up:
Always round up your measurements to the nearest whole number. This helps ensure you have a little extra wallpaper in case of errors or miscalculations.
6.- Use our Wallpaper Calculator: For added convenience and accuracy, use our online wallpaper calculator. Input your measurements, and it will calculate the total square footage and the number of rolls you need based on our wallpaper's roll size.
By following these best practices, you can ensure you purchase the right amount of wallpaper for your project, minimizing waste and avoiding the hassle of running out of wallpaper mid-project.
