How To Measure + Hang

The 3 Big Questions Everyone Has When Buying Wallpaper

  1. How to measure your wall.
  2. How many wallpaper drops do you need to order?
  3. How to manage the joins in your wallpaper?

The First Step: Measuring Your Space.

Grab your tape measure, and start with the width. Go wall to wall and write the measurement down, ignoring doors and windows.

Then do the floor-to-ceiling measurement and write that down. These two measurements are what you will need to determine how many wallpaper drops you’ll need.

The Second Step: Calculating How Many Drops You’ll Need.

Miss Lolo wallpaper comes in two different types:

  1. Standard
  2. Peel + Stick

Miss Lolo wallpaper comes in two different widths:

  1. Standard: 1.05M wide.
  2. Peel + Stick: 0.60M wide

Calculating the size:

First, work out the width.

  1. Standard = the width of the wall, divided by 1M (always allow a little extra for the overlap)
    1. If your room was 10.5M wide, 10.5/1 m = 10 drops. 
  2. Peel + Stick = the width of the wall, divided by 0.59 M (always allow at least 1 cm for the overlap)
    1. If your room was 6M wide, 6/0.59 = 10.17 drops, so purchase 11 drops as you don’t want to end up with a strip un-wallpapered!

Then, decide the height. Miss Lolo Wallpapers come in the following drop lengths:

  1. Standard: 2.5M, 2.8M, 3.0M, 3.2M
  2. Peel + Stick: 2.5M, 2.8M, 3.0M, 3.2M

If you chose Standard wallpaper, for a wall 10M wide that was 2.4M high, you’d buy 10 drops of 2.5M length. You need to have at least a 10 cm allowance in the drop length to account for perfect pattern match and any areas of the wall that aren’t perfectly plumb.

The Third Step: How to deal with joins in the wallpaper.
