WALLPAPER GUIDE
On purchasing and installing wallpaper
 The Home Depot carries a range of Graham & Brown paste the wall, paste the paper,
and prepasted wallpaper products with different properties and instructions – please
refer to the back of the roll label for full hanging instructions
 Any high quality wallpaper paste/adhesive can be used to hang Graham & Brown
products
 Check the batch number on all rolls to ensure that the colors will match exactly when
installed
 Vinyl wallpapers are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms because they are more moisture-
resistant and splash-proof than other wallpapers
 Paintables can be left white or painted to match your décor
How to calculate the number of rolls required
1. Measure walls (including doors and windows): height x width to get the square footage.
2. Subtract 21 square feet for each door, 15 square feet for each window.
3. Find the pattern repeat on the wallpaper label. Solids and stripes will not list a repeat, so
use 0 as the repeat.
4. Determine the usable yield per roll of wallpaper by consulting the chart below.
Repeat size
Usable yield/roll
0 to 6 inches
50 square feet
7 to 12 inches
44 square feet
13 to 18 inches
40 square feet
19 to 23 inches
36 square feet
5. Divide the room square footage by the usable yield to determine the number of rolls
needed for the project.
Alternatively, refer to the chart below to determine how many rolls are required for the project.
