About This Calculator

Estimate how many rolls of wallpaper you need for a room. Accounts for walls, doors, windows, and pattern repeat waste.

Pattern Repeat Impact

  • No repeat (0\") — No extra waste
  • Small repeat (6-12\") — ~10% extra waste
  • Large repeat (18-24\") — ~15-20% extra waste

Pro Tip

Always buy 1-2 extra rolls. Dye lots can vary between production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rolls of wallpaper for a 12x12 room?

For a 12×12 room with 8 ft ceilings, 2 doors, and 2 windows, you need approximately 4 rolls of standard wallpaper (30 sq ft coverage, no pattern repeat).

What does 'pattern repeat' mean?

Pattern repeat is the vertical distance before the pattern repeats. When aligning patterns between strips, this creates waste — typically 10-20% depending on the repeat size.
