+ Add 15% for kitchens & baths.
+ Add ceiling if it gets papered
            - Subtract cutouts. For every 20 sq. ft. of cutouts subtract 1 roll.

Calculations Example


9 x 5 bath, 7 ft. high.  Ceiling is being papered; there are cutouts for sink, tub, and door.


Basic rolls from table (9 x 5) = 10 rolls
      + - Adjustments    
- 10% for 7 ft. ceiling height - 1 roll = 9
(table is for 8 feet ceiling)
+ 15% kitchen or bath +1 roll = 10
+ paper 9 x 5 ceiling
      45 sq. ft. / 20 +2 rolls = 12
- Minus cutouts
      - sink 10 sq. ft
      - tub with tile 60 sq. ft
        - door 15 sq. ft    
    - 85 sq. ft. / 20 - 4 rolls = 8 rolls 

Result = Buy 8 Rolls (4 double rolls)



Wallpaper Roll Sizes


Table 1 applies to Euro roll sizes, which comprise 95% of wallpaper sold today. Almost all wallpaper is sold in double roll sizes; some small production run custom prints come in triples and larger roll sizes. The 2 most frequent double roll sizes are:

 21 in. x 33 ft. = 56 sq. ft. double roll

 27 in. x 27 ft. = 60 sq. ft. double roll


Measuring Dividing Factor


Calculate the total square footage of area to be wallpapered. Take the total square feet of the area and divide by:

23 for bedrooms and living rooms
20 for bathrooms and kitchens


Kitchens and baths use many smaller pieces ... pattern matching and top-bottom trimoff results in more waste.
Bedrooms and Living rooms use larger pieces...pattern matching and top-bottom trimoff results in less waste.


Table 1 is based on the bedroom and living room factor of 23. For kitchens and baths add l5% to the values given which makes the conversion.
