FAQ

What else can I wallpaper besides my walls?
Wallpaper can cover more than just your walls. It is an easy way to add design and dimension to
many places in your home. Use a bold patterned wallpaper inside your bookshelves to make
your books and display pieces stand out. Add texture and pattern to your room by wallpapering
your ceiling. You can also paper smaller pieces such as dressers, coffee tables, and nightstands.
Design blogs and DIY tutorials are great places for unique wallpaper ideas and inspiration.
How do I know how much wallpaper I need?
Generally, in order to calculate how much wallpaper you need, use the following steps: First,
calculate the wall area by multiplying the height of the wall by the width. Second, calculate the
area of the wall you will not be papering (i.e. windows and doors) by multiplying the height by
the width of each area you will not paper. Third, subtract the unpapered area from the area of
the wall. This will give you the wallpapering area. Fourth, divide the wallpapering area by the
square footage of the wallpaper you would like to purchase. This will give you the total number
of rolls needed to complete your project. However, you will need to consider extra paper for the
pattern repeat and extra trimmings.
Do I need to order extra wallpaper for a pattern repeat?
Yes, you will need to consider the usable yield (the amount of each roll that is usable). The
usable yield will depend on the length of your repeating pattern. The longer the pattern, the less
usable yield. You will need to order additional roles of wallpaper to match your design’s
horizontal sequence.
What type of paste should I use?
Most commercially available pastes will work for the majority of wallpaper projects. However,
some heavy grade wallpapers might require a stronger adhesive.
