Wallpaper Roll Calculator

How many rolls of wallpaper you need, with pattern repeat waste included.

How this works

Each drop is the wall height plus 10 cm for trimming, rounded up to a whole pattern repeat. We count how many drops fit on one roll, then how many drops go round the room (half a width is taken off per door and window). Always buy one spare roll from the same batch number.
