How many rolls of wallpaper do I need for a room?
Divide the room perimeter by the roll width to get the number of strips, work out how many strips one roll yields from the wall height, and divide. The calculator does all three steps for you.
Enter the room size, the roll width and length and the pattern repeat. The calculator counts the strips, subtracts doors and windows and tells you how many rolls to buy.

With a repeat (for example 32 cm) each strip must be cut longer so the pattern lines up. That reduces the strips per roll, so patterned wallpaper needs more rolls than plain.
A common roll is 0.53 m wide and 10.05 m long. Wide rolls of 1.06 m are also sold. Enter your roll size in the calculator since sizes vary by brand and country.
Yes, keep one spare roll for repairs and mistakes, and check that every roll has the same batch number so the color is identical.
