How To Measure Your Wall

How To Measure Your Wall For Wallpaper
Our wallpaper comes in panels which are designed to be installed side by side without an overlap. To calculate how many wallpaper panels you would need and which wallpaper panel size would work best for your project, please see examples below on how to measure your wall for wallpaper.
    Rectangular Wall
    Measure width and height of the wall at the widest and tallest part of the wall. Divide the total width with either 48.3 cm (19 inches) for self adhesive wallpaper or 63.5 cm (25 inches) for traditional wallpaper. Round up the result to the closest full number to calculate the panel quantity needed for the project. 
    Example:
    • Wall width is 300 cm and wall height is 244 cm.
    • Desired material for the project - self adhesive wallpaper.
    • Calculations: 300 : 48.3 = 6.2
    • Panel quantity needed: 7 panels
    • Panel size option #1: 48.3 x 244 cm (only if the walls are perfectly even or measurements include baseboard/crown molding)
    • Panel size option #2: 48.3 x 275 cm (to allow for extra material on top and bottom of the wall when installing wallpaper - crucial for uneven walls)

     
      Slanted Wall
      In case of a slanted wall, also measure width and height of the wall at the widest and tallest part of the wall. Divide the total width with either 48.3 cm (19 inches) for self adhesive wallpaper or 63.5 cm (25 inches) for traditional wallpaper. Round up the result to the closest full number to calculate the panel quantity needed for the project. 
      Example:
      • Wall width is 300 cm and wall height is 244 cm.
      • Desired material for the project - self adhesive wallpaper.
      • Calculations: 300 : 48.3 = 6.2
      • Panel quantity needed: 7 panels
      • Panel size option #1: 48.3 x 244 cm (only if the walls are perfectly even or measurements include baseboard/crown molding)
      • Panel size option #2: 48.3 x 275 cm (to allow for extra material on top and bottom of the wall when installing wallpaper - crucial for uneven walls)

         

        Wall With An Obstacle
        If the wall has a window, door or any other object that can't be moved, we suggest to order wallpaper for the whole wall and cut around the obstacle on spot. This will ensure a perfect pattern match on the wall and allow enough material to cover the whole wall. In this case, also measure width and height of the wall at the widest and tallest part of the wall. Divide the total width with either 48.3 cm (19 inches) for self adhesive wallpaper or 63.5 cm (25 inches) for traditional wallpaper. Round up the result to the closest full number to calculate the panel quantity needed for the project. 
        Example:
        • Wall width is 300 cm and wall height is 244 cm.
        • Desired material for the project - self adhesive wallpaper.
        • Calculations: 300 : 48.3 = 6.2
        • Panel quantity needed: 6 panels
        • Panel size option #1: 48.3 x 244 cm (only if the walls are perfectly even or measurements include baseboard/crown molding)
        • Panel size option #2: 48.3 x 275 cm (to allow for extra material on top and bottom of the wall when installing wallpaper - crucial for uneven walls)
