how many rolls of wallpaper for 10m2

If you're planning to redecorate a room in your home, the choice of wallpaper can play a vital role in creating the ambience you desire. However, one of the most common questions is: how many rolls of wallpaper will you need to cover a given area, such as 10 m²?

In this article, we'll provide you with a handy guide to estimating the amount of wallpaper you'll need, as well as some useful tips for the process.

How to calculate the quantity of wallpaper:

Square footage of the room:

Before choosing your wallpaper, measure the width and length of the room. Multiply these two measurements to obtain the total square footage. For a 10 m² room, this would be equivalent to 10 m².

Connection ratio :

The majority of our wallpapers are panoramic, and are produced with a right-to-left seam rather than a height-to-height seam. It's best to position the strips one by one, side by side, to ensure perfect joints before application. If you find a defect when you send the decor back to the quality department, we will check it again and send you back a conforming decor.

Ceiling height :

If your room has corners or features such as windows and doors that will not be covered by wallpaper, subtract their square footage from the total surface area. This will give you a more accurate estimate of the quantity required.

Choosing the right wallpaper:

Pattern and color:

Selecting a pattern and color that match the aesthetics of your room is crucial. Smaller patterns are often suitable for smaller spaces, while larger patterns can add vibrancy to larger areas.

Wallpaper material:

Wallpaper is available in a variety of materials, such as vinyl, textured paper and fabric wallpaper. Consider the room's location. For example, in humid areas such as the kitchen or bathroom, opt for moisture-resistant wallpaper.

Steps to follow before wallpapering:

Preparing the surface

Make sure walls are clean, smooth and dry before applying wallpaper. Any residual paint or dirt can compromise adhesion.

Cutting strips

When preparing your order, the strips are rolled from first to last - there's a strip number at the bottom of each strip that makes up your decor. Apply strip number 1, and then apply each strip one by one, making sure to follow the joints of the previous strip.

Laying wallpaper

Glue and lay the strips

Apply the adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Start laying the strips from top to bottom, smoothing carefully to avoid air bubbles.

Align and level:

Make sure each strip is correctly aligned with the previous one. Use a level to ensure that the wallpaper is straight.

Calculate the number of rolls for 10 m²:

A complete set is made up of 6 to 7 75 to 85 cm strips thus covering an area up to 525 cm wide and 250 cm high.
