Formula used

Wall area = total wall width × wall height − opening area. Planning area = wall area × (1 + waste percent ÷ 100). Roll coverage = roll width × roll length. Rolls needed = ceiling(planning area ÷ roll coverage).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Current inputs in the calculation

These values come from the controls above and update when the calculator changes.

Total wall width
12 m
Add together the widths of the walls being papered.
Wall height
2.4 m
Use the finished height from skirting/top edge to ceiling or trim.
Doors/windows to subtract
2 m²
Subtract only significant openings. Many decorators keep small cutouts as allowance instead.
Roll width
0.53 m
Common European roll width is about 0.53 m. Check the roll label.
Roll length
10 m
Check the roll label before ordering.
Pattern/waste allowance
15 %
Use more for pattern repeat, trimming, mistakes, awkward walls or future repairs.
Optional price per roll
35 currency/roll
Use 0 if you only need roll quantity.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Planning estimate only. Confirm roll dimensions, pattern repeat, batch number and supplier return rules before ordering.

  • Walls are treated as a combined rectangular area; split unusual rooms into simpler wall sections before adding the widths.
  • Roll width, roll length and pattern allowance must come from the exact wallpaper product where possible.
  • The calculator rounds rolls up to whole rolls because partial rolls cannot usually be ordered as exact area.
  • Pattern repeat, batch matching, damaged strips, stairs, alcoves and professional hanging method can change the real order quantity.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep the product batch, roll width, roll length and pattern repeat beside the estimate. Wallpaper mistakes are often not arithmetic mistakes; they come from pattern matching, dye-lot changes, awkward offcuts and under-ordering one extra repair roll.

Visual grid

This result measures part of the space you live in

Length, area, volume and material estimates are grid problems too: measure the space, account for edges and allowances, then turn the pattern into a number you can use.

Space calculations turn a real surface, room, run or volume into cells, edges and allowances that can be quoted, ordered or checked.

Method

Wall area = total wall width × wall height − opening area. Planning area = wall area × (1 + waste percent ÷ 100). Roll coverage = roll width × roll length. Rolls needed = ceiling(planning area ÷ roll coverage).

  1. For 12 m total wall width at 2.4 m high, gross wall area is 28.8 m². Subtract 2 m² of openings to get 26.8 m². Add 15% allowance: 26.8 × 1.15 = 30.82 m². A 0.53 m × 10 m roll covers 5.3 m², so 30.82 ÷ 5.3 = 5.82 and the order estimate rounds up to 6 rolls.

Assumptions

  • Walls are treated as a combined rectangular area; split unusual rooms into simpler wall sections before adding the widths.
  • Roll width, roll length and pattern allowance must come from the exact wallpaper product where possible.
  • The calculator rounds rolls up to whole rolls because partial rolls cannot usually be ordered as exact area.
  • Pattern repeat, batch matching, damaged strips, stairs, alcoves and professional hanging method can change the real order quantity.
