Wondering just how much Chinoiserie you need to order?
Our general rule of thumb is measure twice and print once! Being that our Chinoiserie Wallpaper is a custom item, our designers will work with you to ensure that your project fits perfectly in your space, but we need your help!
When it comes time to place your order, it’s important to understand that the amount needed will be based on the measurements of the space or spaces you are looking to cover, and that those measurements will come from you. These dimensions can be for a wall, a full room, or framed panels, and you will need to write down measurements for each separately.
Need a little more assistance? We have a detailed video below and worksheets to help!
To determine the number of square feet you will need for your project please follow the steps below:
- Measure the height of your space in inches*
- Measure the width of your space in inches*
- Multiply the height in inches by the width in inches
- Divide the number you calculated above by 144 (this converts the square inches you just determined to square feet)
- Take this number and round it up to the nearest whole number
- If you have additional spaces follow steps 1-5 and add all of the rounded numbers together to determine your total square footage.
