How this is calculated

Wall area = wall width × height, or room perimeter × height for all four walls.

Rolls (plain) = wall area ÷ (roll width × roll length) × (1 + wastage ÷ 100), rounded up.

Pattern repeat — each vertical drop is rounded up to the next repeat height, which increases the number of rolls needed.

Standard rolls are often 53 cm × 10 m — check your product label.

Estimates only — pattern matching, large repeats, and awkward walls may need extra rolls. Always buy one spare roll from the same batch.
