The simpler way to order: skip the confusing math and pattern repeats. Our panels are printed to your exact wall height for a seamless install—without waste or guesswork.
The Simpler Way to Order
Let’s face it—ordering wallpaper shouldn’t feel like high-school geometry. Forget the endless math, the pattern repeats, and the fear of ordering too little. With custom-cut wallpaper panels, you’ll never have to guess again.
Our panels are printed to your exact wall height, so you get a seamless, perfectly matched installation—without waste or confusion. All you need are two measurements and a quick calculation.
Here’s the promise: follow this guide and you’ll order the exact number of panels for your wall, guaranteed against shortages or mismatched seams.
Panel Specs to Know
Step 1: Measure Your Wall (The Total Coverage Rule)
The first step to a perfect wall starts with accurate measurements. The golden rule? Measure the full wall—every inch of it.
No Subtracting Allowed
Unlike pre-made wallpaper rolls, our panels are custom-printed for your exact wall. That means you should not subtract windows, doors, or built-ins from your total measurement.
Why? Because our goal is to print a continuous pattern across your wall. During installation, you’ll simply trim around windows and obstacles—but the design will remain perfectly aligned from end to end.
What to Measure
- Total Wall Width: Measure from one side of the wall to the other in inches. (Tip: If you measure in feet, multiply by 12 to convert to inches.)
- Total Wall Height: Measure from floor to ceiling in feet. If your ceiling height varies, use the tallest point—this ensures every panel fits.
Step 2: Calculate Panel Count and Choose Your Panel Height
A. Calculate the Number of Panels
Use this simple formula:
Number of Panels = Total Wall Width in Inches ÷ 19
Then round up to the next whole number.
Example: If your wall width is 150 inches: 150 ÷ 19 = 7.89 → You’ll need 8 panels. Even if you only need a fraction more, always round up. That last panel ensures full coverage from corner to corner.
B. Choose the Correct Panel Height
Rather than adding a fixed buffer, simply round up to the nearest available panel height option. This ensures your panels are tall enough to cover your wall from top to bottom, with minimal trimming required.
| Your Wall Height | Recommended Panel Height | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 95 in (7 ft 11 in) | 8 ft panel | Covers full wall with slight trim allowance |
| 121 in (10 ft 1 in) | 12 ft panel | Rounding up prevents shortages on tall walls |
| 175 in (14 ft 7 in) | 16 ft panel | Ensures top-to-bottom coverage with margin for adjustment |
When prompted on our site, select the panel height that is equal to or just above your measured wall height. We’ll handle the rest to ensure a seamless fit.
