How to Calculate Wallpaper

To convert your measurements from centimetre (cm) to metres (m),  multiply the given centimetre value by 0.01 meters. For example, to convert 53 cm to m, multiply 53 by 0.01, we get 0.53m.

FAQs - Wallpaper Calculator NZ

 

Do I really need to buy an extra roll of wallpaper?

Yes, we recommend it. An extra roll ensures you have enough of the same batch number for pattern matching, repairs, or any future damage. It's especially useful if the wallpaper design is discontinued in the future

What is pattern repeat, and why does it matter?

Pattern repeat is the vertical distance before a wallpaper design repeats. Larger pattern repeats may require more wallpaper, as you'll need to align the pattern across strips for a seamless look. You can usually find the pattern repeat listed in the product description.

Can I use this calculator for all types of wallpaper?

Yes, this wallpaper calculator works for most wallpaper types, just make sure you enter accurate roll dimensions and pattern repeat values.

What if my room has windows or doors?

You can subtract the area of windows and doors if you'd like a more precise estimate, but we generally recommend including them to allow for cutting and alignment errors.
