I have already chosen a Dekornik wallpaper pattern for a child’s room, but I still don’t know how many square metres of wallpaper I should order?
Before you buy wallpaper, you need to measure the wall – check its width and height.
OK, the wall has already been measured. Let’s assume that its dimensions are: 330 cm in width and 270 cm in height, how should I convert this into wallpaper strips?
In this case we will need 4 metres of wallpaper (in width). Dekornik wallpapers are available in 50 cm or 100 cm wide strips. Their height is always 280 cm. You will find the exact width of your chosen wallpaper in the product description.
In Dekornik wallpapers are sold in strips, how many of these strips will I need for my project?
If you choose wallpaper with 50 cm wide strips, you will need 7 strips (7 × 50 cm = 350 cm). For wallpaper with 100 cm wide strips, you will only need 4 strips (4 × 100 cm = 400 cm).
According to your calculations it comes out that I have as much as 70 cm to spare, do you have any advice for this?
Firstly, we always recommend ordering a little more wallpaper than we have calculated, about 10-20 cm. This makes installation much easier. If you have 70 cm left over, as in this case, you can cut the last strip in half – or ask us to do it for you. This way you get the last 50 cm wide strip, giving you a total of 350 cm of wallpaper!
It seems really simple, but how do you measure the amount of wallpaper needed for a wall with bevels?
Bevels are a whole other topic, but I have a tip for that too. The best way is to measure according to the drawing below ( drawing).
Here is the drawing:
All measured thanks to the instructions, but I still don’t know how much wallpaper I should order for a wall with a slant?
