How to Measure and Order Wallpaper: Step-by-Step Guide
TAKE A MEASURING TAPE
The initial tool you will require for your wallpaper project is a measuring tape.
🚫 It is not recommended to use phone apps for measuring walls, as their accuracy may be deceptive.
ROUND UP YOUR INCH MEASUREMENTS
When measuring the width and height of your space, always use inches and avoid working with fractions. Remember to always round up to the next whole number.
MEASURE WALL DIMENSIONS
Make sure to measure the horizontal width and vertical height of the wall you plan to wallpaper.
Your space’s width and height should be measured in inches. Measure Floor to ceiling height and wall-to-wall width.
Enter the width and height of your wall on the product page, and our system will calculate the number of rolls you need. Please note that most peel and stick wallpapers come in 24-inch widths. If the result is in decimals, our system automatically rounds it to the nearest whole number to ensure minimal waste.
WALL DEFORMATION
Most walls are not perfectly straight.
Measure the width from the wall’s left to right sides and the height from top to bottom.
If the Width and Height are inconsistent, your wall may have a slight deformation even if the difference is only 1-2 inches.
Place your order by measuring your wall’s tallest height and longest width. Our system will calculate the number of rolls needed based on our 24-inch width rolls. Remember to add 1-2 extra inches to ensure you have enough wallpaper during installation.
IRREGULAR WALL
Order wallpaper panels based on the height and width of the wall at its widest and tallest point to ensure accurate dimensions. During installation, cut any excess remnants for a seamless look.
MEASURING WALLS WITH AN DOOR AND WINDOW
Calculate the total width and height of the wall as if there were no windows or doors. Install and Trim around elements when installing.
MULTIPLE WALLS
MURALS
Orders murals individually and requests them to match through: Add them individually to the cart with the exact size (no extra inches). Leave a note with the wall sequence during checkout, and we’ll contact you for double confirmation.
For this, add each individual wall separately to the cart with the measured size, along with 1- 2 inches extra (so that there is no shortage of wallpaper during the installation).
WALLPAPER
Determine the total width and height (combined width of all walls added together and the tallest height of the walls you need to wallpaper), and then order enough panels to cover the entire area.
Do this to ensure seamless wallpaper coverage from wall to wall.
ANGLED WALLS
Calculate the highest and widest points of your wall. In order to achieve proper alignment, install your wallpaper from the bottom up for good alignment.
SLOPED WALLS
Ensure to measure the tallest height and widest width of the area to be covered. Any excess wallpaper can be trimmed during installation.
HOW TO ORDER MURALS
Murals are large-scale artworks that do not repeat. Place your order based on the size of your wall. You may also order half walls too. Get it customised and printed. Your order will be separated into panels with an even number for installation purposes.
