How to Measure Your Wall For Wallpaper

Feel confident. Measure once. Order once. Avoid reordering.

6 Rules You Need to Know to make sure you're all set before ordering (PLEASE READ FULLY)

Five wallpaper panels covering a wall, with a window and a door, showing measurements taken across the full width and height regardless of openings. Measure the FULL width of your wall (yes, even across windows, doors, mirrors etc.) 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" 1 2 3 4 5 Panels are 19" wide and custom-printed to be placed in numerical order. Installed left to right. Measure the FULL height of your wall
Measure the entire wall, top to bottom and side to side. Trim around the window, closets, and door during installation. See wainscot and vaulted ceiling measuring information at the bottom.

  1. Measure the FULL width of every wall.
    Measure wall to wall in inches — including across windows, doors, mirrors, closets, trim, wainscoting, and other openings.

    Do not subtract for doors or windows. You will trim around them during installation.

    If wallpaper is going on more than one wall, add the widths of all walls together.


  2. Measure your wall at its TALLEST height.
    Measure from ceiling to floor at the tallest point.

    All panels in the same room/order must be ordered at the same panel height so the pattern continues correctly from panel to panel.

    Have a vaulted ceiling? See the special instructions below.


  3. Every panel is 19" wide.
    Divide your total wall width by 19" and always round UP.

    Example:

    95" wall width = 5 panels
    114" wall width = 6 panels

    Or simply enter your wall measurements into our Wallpaper Calculator on the product page and let us do the math for you.

  4. Order ALL panels at the same time in ONE height.
    Wallpaper is custom printed in one continuous sequence for your space.

    Panels are numbered and need to be installed left to right in the exact order they are printed.

    ***You cannot order different panel heights, cut panels apart, rearrange them, or piece panels together around doors and windows to save material/waste. They will not match up correctly due to the custom printing process. All panels should be ordered in ONE height, applied in one height, then trimmed.***

    Panel order matters. No exceptions. Panels need to be installed in the numerical order that they are printed in. 

  5. When in doubt, round up.
    If you accidentally order too little and need additional panels later,

    we cannot guarantee:

    • An exact color match between print runs if you need to order more.
    • That the pattern sequence will line up with your original order.

    For that reason, we strongly recommend ordering one extra panel if your measurement is close. If you were short and need to order more panels, please email: randon@indybloomdesign.com, and we will help you navigate the best option for you if you need more panels to finish your space correctly. 

    *It is much less expensive than having to re-order an entire room following all of our instructions the first time.

    How to Order 

    Step 1: Choose your wallpaper material.

    Step 2: Measure the tallest height of the wall or room.

    Step 3: Measure the full width of every wall being wallpapered in inches.

    For multiple walls, add all wall widths together.

    Step 4: Enter your measurements in inches into our Wallpaper Calculator.

    Or calculate manually:

    Total wall width ÷ 19" = number of panels needed

    Always round UP to the next full panel to make sure you're not short.

    Step 5: Select one panel height for the entire room and order all required panels together.
