How to calculate quantity
- Measure wall width and height. In metres.
- Work out strips. Wall width divided by roll width, rounded up.
- Strips per roll. Roll length divided by wall height plus pattern repeat.
- Divide and round up. Strips needed divided by strips per roll.
- Add 10 percent. For waste and mistakes.
Pattern repeat
Patterned wallpaper wastes material when matching, by one repeat per strip, which can be 32 to 64 centimetres. Plain and random patterns waste less. Ask for the repeat on the label and allow for it in the calculation.
Materials
PVC and vinyl are washable, non-woven is breathable and easy to fit, paper is cheap but delicate and fabric types are premium. Choose by room and wall condition.
Fitting and tips
Buy all rolls from one batch, check for print faults, prepare the wall and cut strips with an allowance. Keep one full roll as a spare and keep offcuts for repairs. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the wall or floor checked for level, dryness and strength first.
Doors, windows and sockets
Do not subtract much for doors and windows, since cutting around them wastes material. Subtract only large openings. Switch off power before working around sockets and use cover plates.
What to check before buying

- Repeat. Allowed for

Before you decide
Measure carefully, allow for repeat and waste and buy from one batch. Calculating wallpaper properly avoids shortages, mismatched batches and wasted money. Keep a spare roll and note the batch number for repairs.
