Once Again – Let the Paperhanger Measure Before You Order Wallpaper … It’s Not About Square Feet

That unpapered space to the right of the door frame is about 6″ wide. Minus the door frame, it works out to about 2 square feet of wallspace.

Yet, in order to cover this with wallpaper, I need to use a strip that is 28″ wide x 8′ long – that’s about 16 square feet of paper – almost a full single roll.

On-line calculators don’t take this factors into account, nor are store or website employees schooled on these points.

Again, folks – it’s always best to have the paperhanger / installer measure the space and calculate how many rolls are needed, before you order.

It’s not merely about square feet.
