Wallpaper can transform a space faster than almost any other design element, but one of the biggest hurdles homeowners face is figuring out exactly how much wallpaper to order. Too little and you’re stuck waiting on additional rolls from a dye lot that may no longer match; too much and you’ve spent more than necessary. At Patrick Street Interiors, we take the guesswork out of the equation. Behind the scenes, our team assesses every detail—from measurements to pattern repeats—to ensure your project is perfectly planned before the first roll is ever opened.

We begin with a detailed site assessment. We start with wall height and width, but we also take note of architectural features—like sloped ceilings, oddly placed outlets, or built-ins—to ensure the measurements reflect the true usable surface area. Accurate photographs of your space, or site visits ensure we don't miss any details. We evaluate the pattern repeat and roll specifications. Every wallpaper—especially designer prints—has a unique repeat, and calculating how that pattern falls on the wall allows us to determine how many full drops can be cut from each roll without disrupting the visual flow. We factor in allowances for installation challenges. Corners, pattern alignment, and specialty papers often require extra material, so we intentionally overestimate slightly to protect your project from costly delays caused by shortages. We collaborate directly with vendors and installers. We verify roll sizes, lead times, and installation notes with the manufacturer, then confirm strategy and preferences with our professional installer to ensure every detail aligns before we place an order. We make ordering simple and easy. Once your estimate is approved, we manage ordering, tracking, delivery, and communication with our installer—so the process remains effortless on your end.

Estimating wallpaper quantities isn’t just math—it’s strategy, experience, and thoughtful planning. By managing measurements, patterns, vendor communication, and installer coordination, we make the process seamless and stress-free so you can simply look forward to seeing your walls come to life.
