LIFESTYLE

Estimate the number of wallpaper rolls and total cost for a room. Accounts for pattern repeat waste, doors, and windows. Standard US double roll = 33 ft × 20.5 in.

Pattern repeat is the vertical distance before the design starts again — typical 18-24 inches for straight match. Random-match papers (no repeat) waste less. The calculator counts strips around the perimeter and divides by strips per roll (after subtracting repeat allowance per strip).

Disclaimer: Buy 1 extra roll for waste, mistakes, and future patching. Order from the same dye lot. Hang professionally if you've never papered before — fixing a wrong cut costs more than the labor.
