Roll reckoner

To figure out the number of rolls of wallpaper you may need, use our handy Roll Reckoner.

  1. Measure the distance around the room (include walls with doors and windows).
  2. Measure the height of the walls from the skirting.
  3. Use the Roll Reckoner to work out how many rolls you need for the room.

Please note: The measurements below are based on a standard roll of 0.5 metre wide × 10 meters long. Check the measurements on the paper you have chosen, and adjust the roll count accordingly.
