Roll counts depend on wall area, roll length, pattern repeat and whether you need extra for large repeats or tricky corners. Measure each wall in metres before you calculate.
Measure height and width of each wall in metres and multiply for area. Divide by the usable square metres per roll (check the label - rolls vary). Add waste for pattern repeat: large repeats need more drops cut to match. Round up; one spare roll helps for future repairs.


Use the guide to estimate. When you are ready to order, bring wall widths and heights to Crestwood of Lymington - or send them - and we will confirm quantities against the specific paper's repeat so you are not short on hanging day.
Visit the showroom with measurements, or contact us with room sizes and the paper you have in mind.
