Estimation
method
for
double
rolls
Measure the distance around the perimeter of your room. If there are any window or door openings, simply measure right over them. Measure the height of the room. Use the chart below to determine the approximate number of double rolls you require. A double roll covers approximately 44 square feet after pattern matching.

Number of double rolls needed |
For applications that do not fit on the above table, multiply ceiling height by room perimeter and divide by 44. Round any fractions up. Do not deduct any amount for standard size doors or windows. If you have significantly large windows or any other large openings (fireplaces, French doors, etc.) that will not require wallpaper, then some wallpaper can be deducted. This deduction amount is best left to the professionals.
