Link below should get you in the ballpark. Helps to know sq ft coverage stated on wallpaper roll. Also check on the 'repeat' of the pattern.
Take height x width of wall to get square foot of each wall. You can subtract some for the doors/windows, but it's good to have extra.
PS....I hate wallpapering. I did one room in my house and never again will I put up wallpaper. It's a pain and you must have patience when working with it.

On standard ceiling height room You normally get 4 Lengths to the roll
Get a roll start in a corner & work your way round your room (allow a couple of lengths off for doors & windows) when you get your total divide by 4 & thats the no' of rolls you want

You should get approx 4 lengths of paper per roll. Go around the room with a roll of paper and see how many widths it takes / 4 = rolls

Hi, From exprience ! If you use large patern paper then allow two and a half drop per roll. This will enable pat match.
If you decide to do plain you should get three drops per roll.
One last thing wallpaper is "old hat" avoid if poss as modern matt paints are quick and easy to use and you don,t need stripping off.

measure how long each wall is from top to bottom and from side to side then multiply. the number you get is the number of square feet you will need to cover your room. for example, one wall is 7 feet tall and 8 feet wide - 7 X 8 = 56. you will need 56 square feet of wallpaper to cover that one wall. keep in mind, if it is a pattern that will need to be matched, you may need an extra roll or two. keep your receipt and return any unused rolls.

On an average height room you get three drops (lenghts) to a rollof patterned paper that needs to be matched up. On paper that does require matching at all you get 4 drops. Get a sample of your wall paper, starting at a corner go around the room and chalk at each point the width of the paper, times this by 3 and there you have it.

Use a wallpaper calculator, makes life easy, best buy a couple of extra rolls anyway, you can normally return them.

as a general rule a double roll of wallpaper covers about 55 square feet. so times the height of the wall by the total number of feet around the room. the will give you the number of square feet you will need. then divide that number by 55 and that will give you how manny rolls you will need. ex: 40ft by 8ft= 360square ft. 360suare ft divided by 55 square ft=6.54. therfore you would need 7 rolls.

You see how wide a roll is. Then measure how long the wall is that you are going to paper. Divide the length of the wall by the width o the paper

you normally get about 4 drops to a roll i e-from ceiling to floor in your average room.Roughly measure the width of the paper and count them on the walls. When buying wallpaper make sure all paper has the same batch code and patern code or it may differ in colour,patern or texture.
