Definition: This calculator estimates the area of wallpaper needed based on wall height and width measurements.

Purpose: It helps homeowners and interior designers determine how much wallpaper is required for a wall or room.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( A \) — Area of wallpaper needed (square feet)
• \( H \) — Height of the wall (feet)
• \( W \) — Width of the wall (feet)

Explanation: The wall height is multiplied by the wall width to get the total square footage needed.
