Wallpaper Roll Sizing Guide – Life n Colors
We offer two roll sizes:
-
3 sq. m roll – 50 cm width × 600 cm length
-
5 sq. m roll – 50 cm width × 1000 cm length
Coverage area
We factor in 80% usable coverage to allow for pattern matching and wastage:
-
3 sq. m roll → ~2.4 sq. m usable coverage
-
5 sq. m roll → ~4.0 sq. m usable coverage
How to Calculate Rolls Needed
-
Measure your wall’s width and height.
-
Multiply to get total wall area in square meters.
-
Divide the total area by:
-
2.4 for the 3 sq. m roll
-
4.0 for the 5 sq. m roll
-
-
Round up to the nearest whole number.
Example in Centimeters
Wall: 400 cm width × 260 cm height
-
Area = 400 × 260 = 104,000 cm² → 10.4 m²
-
3 sq. m roll: 10.4 ÷ 2.4 = 4.33 → 5 rolls
-
5 sq. m roll: 10.4 ÷ 4.0 = 2.6 → 3 rolls
Example in Inches
Wall: 157.5 in width × 102.4 in height
-
Area = 157.5 × 102.4 = 16,128 in² → ÷ 1550 = 10.4 m²
-
3 sq. m roll: 10.4 ÷ 2.4 = 4.33 → 5 rolls
-
5 sq. m roll: 10.4 ÷ 4.0 = 2.6 → 3 rolls
