I love having wallpapers in my room because I believe they add patterns, colours, and texture to the space and make it more comfortable and inviting. If you’re planning to add wallpaper to your home, then estimating how much you require ensures that you don’t get too little or too much for your project. Read below to know the answer to your query on “how much wallpaper do I need for a 12x12 room”:

  • Use a measuring tape to find the lengths of all walls you are planning to install wallpaper on. Similarly, find the height of the walls you are putting wallpaper on. After that, add the lengths to find the total perimeter. Next, multiply the total perimeter by the height to find the total surface area of the room.

  • Look at the wallpaper roll’s edge to find two identical parts of the pattern. Hold your measuring tape’s end on a point in the pattern and extend it to where the pattern repeats itself. Note down the measurement to find how many rolls you will require for your wall. If the wallpaper has a non-repeating pattern, then you do not have to find any measurements.

  • Even though the total surface area is mentioned on the wallpaper label, the usable amount varies depending on the pattern and how much you require to trim to make it line up. After finding the measurement for the pattern repeat, use this to calculate how much wallpaper you can use per roll:

If the pattern repeat is 0-6-inch, then there are 25 sq. ft. of usable wallpaper.

If the pattern repeat is 7-12-inch, then there are 22 sq. ft. of usable wallpaper.

If the pattern repeat is 13-18-inch, then there are 20 sq. ft. of usable wallpaper.

If the pattern repeat is 19-23-inch, then there are 15 sq. ft. of usable wallpaper.

  • Even though wallpaper rolls come in different widths, they cover the same total surface area. Divide the total surface area by the amount of usable wallpaper per roll to find enough wallpaper and don’t forget to add an additional 10% to 20% to account for any waste.

Although I adored the colour of my living room, I thought of adding some additional colour. I looked at numerous wallpapers online, but I was unable to determine how many rolls of wallpaper for a 12x12 room would be required. I reached out to my best friend for assistance because he had recently used Eurotex wallpaper rolls to decorate his room. I have mentioned the calculation that my buddy told me to determine the exact number.

How many wallpaper rolls you need for a 12×12 room?

Wallpaper may be a terrific way to add character and style when remodelling a space. But before that, it's important to figure out how many rolls you'll need to completely cover your space. The number of wallpaper rolls needed for a 12x12 room will vary depending on the following aspects:

  • Pattern of the design, 

  • The height of the walls, and 

  • Any windows or doors present

As my friend instructed, I purchased Eurotex wallpaper rolls of 1000 cm in length and 50 cm in width. So, only 3 wallpaper rolls were required to be purchased for my 12x12 room. Let’s check out the calculation I did:

Area of 1 Eurotex wallpaper = 1000 cm x 50 cm = 50,000 sq. cm

Then, I converted the area from square centimeters to square feet. As per the general rule, 1 sq cm = 0.00107639 sq ft. So, 50,000 sq cm will be equal to 50,000 x 0.00107639 = 54 sq ft.

Area of the room = 12 x 12 = 144 sq ft.

So, the total number of wallpaper rolls will be equal to 144 sq ft / 54 sq ft = 2.66, which is approximately equal to

3 rolls
