How To Measure for Wallcoverings

Measure the width and height of each wall in inches. Multiply the width inches by the height inches. Divide by 144.This equals your overall square footage.
Example:144" wide X 90" tall = 12,960 divided by 144 = 90 square feet.
Repeat this process for every wall to be covered with paper.

B)Step 2

Measure the width and height of each opening (windows and doors) in inches. Multiply these two numbers together. Divide by 144.

C)Step 3

Subtract the opening square foot number (Step 2) from the overall measurement (Step 1).This equals the total square feet to be covered with wallpaper How Much Paper? Most papers come packaged in "bolts", but we order paper using the term "rolls". Wallcoverings are packaged in double roll bolts (2 rolls worth of paper on one bolt).Some come packaged as triple roll bolts. Special consideration must be taken with grasscloth and other specialty wallcoverings.

REMEMBER:We are ALWAYS happy to take a look at your measurements and help you figure out your wallcovering needs!

Use these charts for estimating the yardage you will need for your next decorating project.
This chart is a guide to estimating yardage for pinch-pleated and gathered drapery with 2 ½ to 1 fullness. The estimates include a 20" hem and heading allowance per cutting length of 54" wide fabric. There is no allowance for pattern match. Your calculations may vary.
