How to Measure Your Walls for Wallpaper Like a Pro

A laser handheld tape measure offers superior accuracy for long walls or high ceilings, eliminating sag in traditional tapes.

Use to jot down every measurement immediately—width, height, and wall notes like doors or counters. Snap photos of walls with measurements taped visibly for your records or installer reference.

Quickly multiply width × height per wall and total sections to match roll coverage. Since rolls come pre-sized to standard heights (7ft, 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, 11ft, 12ft), focus on linear feet rather than square footage for exact roll counts.
