How much wallcovering do I need?
Measure the height of the room. Measure the distance around the room. Measure over any openings or cut-outs, such as windows, doors, fireplaces, etc. Count the number of openings or cut-outs which will not be covered. Use the chart below to determine the number of bolts or double rolls that you need. You may deduct one double roll for every five openings not wallpapered.
This chart shows how many bolts or double rolls to purchase when the bolt is 20.5" wide, and 33' long. Ask your retailer for assistance with specific questions, or for different sized rolls.
