Measuring your wall accurately is essential for a successful wallpaper installation. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of measuring your wall to ensure a precise fit for your wallpaper. Let’s get started:

Step 1: Gather the necessary tools:

• A measuring tape (preferably a metal one for durability)
• A pencil or pen
• A notepad or paper to record measurements
• A calculator (optional) for calculations if needed

Step 2: Prepare the wall:

• Ensure that the wall surface is clear of any furniture, artwork, or obstructions that may hinder accurate measurements.
• Remove any existing wallpaper or wall coverings if applicable, as this may affect the measurements.

Step 3: Start measuring:

• Begin at one corner of the wall and measure the width by running the measuring tape horizontally from corner to corner. Note down the measurement in inches or centimeters.
• Move to the next corner and measure the height by running the measuring tape vertically from the floor to the ceiling or desired height. Again, record the measurement.

Step 4: Account for additional surfaces:

• If your wall has any recesses, alcoves, or windows, measure each separately.
• Measure the width and height of each additional surface and record the measurements.

Step 5: Calculate the total square footage:

• To calculate the total square footage needed for your wallpaper, multiply the width by the height of the main wall.
• If you have additional surfaces, calculate their square footage individually and add them to the total.
• If your wallpaper roll specifies coverage per roll, divide the total square footage by the coverage to determine the number of rolls required.

Step 6: Consider pattern repeat:

• If your chosen wallpaper has a pattern, take into account the pattern repeat when calculating the amount needed.
• Check the manufacturer’s instructions or packaging for information on the pattern repeat, which will guide you on how much extra wallpaper to include.
