Wall Types & Measurement Tips

Each and every wall is a little different and requires attention to detail and accurate measuring to ensure you are ordering the correct amount of wallpaper for your project! Listed below are the most popular types of walls that will help guide you with the measuring process.

1. Standard Flat Walls

• Measure the full width of the wall.
• Measure the height from floor to ceiling.
• Choose the closest matching height; only round up if your measurement is in between two options.

2. Cathedral or Sloped Walls

• Identify the highest point of the wall and use this as the height measurement.
• If your height is between two available sizes, round up. Otherwise, select the exact height option.
• Measure width as usual and divide by 19 inches to determine the number of panels.

3. Walls with Windows & Doors

• Measure the full width of the wall as if the windows/doors weren’t there.
• Order enough panels to cover the entire width; excess can be trimmed around windows/doors.

4. Bathrooms or Areas with Fixtures

• Measure around large fixtures but plan to order full-width coverage.
• Consider moisture-resistant wallpaper if installing near showers.

5. Ceilings

• Measure ceiling length and width.
• Divide the width by 19 inches to determine panel quantity.
• Choose the closest available height, rounding up only if necessary.
