How to measure your wall

measure width and height for Standard Wall

Standard Wall

Simply measure the height of the wall to know what panel size you need. Then measure the width to know how many panels you need.

removable wallpaper installation measurement for multiple standard walls

Multiple Standard Walls

Repeat the process for standard walls. When you know the number of panels you need to order just sum all the panels you will need and place your order. ( note: do not sum all the measures of the walls together to order panels. Each wall should be measured individually and panels ordered for each wall.) E.g. Wall 1: 8ft (w) x 10ft (h)= 4 panels 2ft x 10.5ft. Wall 2: 10ft (w) x 10ft (h)= 5 panels 2ft x 10.5ft. Total panels you need to order: 9 panels 2ft x 10.5ft.

measure entire width and height of wall

Wall with obstacles

If there are any obstacles on your wall, simply measure the entire wall as you would for a full standard wall and cut away the obstacle during hanging.

We offer three different panel sizes to make installation easier and to minimize material loss. That way you can purchase the panel that best fits your project without a lot of material waste. However, if decided to purchase a bigger size panel to cut in several parts, or if you decided to purchase panels from different sizes yet to be used in the same wall ( project) please remember to take into consideration pattern repeat otherwise the design will not match and you will not have a second chance after you have cut it. Remember...

“Measure twice and cut once.”
