1. What is a Wallpaper Rolls Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines how many rolls of wallpaper are needed based on wall area and roll coverage.

Purpose: It helps homeowners and interior designers accurately estimate wallpaper requirements for projects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( R \) — Rolls needed (always rounded up)
• \( A \) — Total wall area (square feet)
• \( Roll\_A \) — Coverage per roll (square feet)

Explanation: The total wall area is divided by the coverage per roll, and the result is always rounded up to ensure you have enough wallpaper.

3. Importance of Accurate Wallpaper Calculation

Details: Proper calculation prevents shortages during installation and minimizes leftover material waste.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total wall area in square feet and the coverage per roll (default 30 sq ft). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: What's a typical roll coverage?
A: Standard wallpaper rolls typically cover about 30 square feet, but this can vary by brand and pattern.

Q3: Should I account for pattern repeats?
A: Yes, complex patterns may require extra rolls. Consider adding 10-20% to your total for pattern matching.

Q4: How do I calculate wall area?
A: Measure each wall's height and width, multiply to get area, then sum all wall areas.

Q5: Does this include waste for mistakes?
