Hallway Wallpaper Calculator
Hallways are long and narrow with lots of corners and doors rather than one big open wall — here's what to expect when you plan one.
Get my hallway roll countThe planner handles custom roll sizes and pattern repeat too — open it for a hallway sized roughly 6m × 1.2m.
Measure wall by wall around each corner
A hallway wraps around corners, so treat each straight run as its own wall — the planner already handles a room as a set of individual walls, which is exactly what a hallway needs.
Doors add up fast
A hallway usually has more doors per metre of wall than any other room — subtract each doorway width, or the estimate will run high.
Bolder pattern reads well in a narrow space
A hallway is somewhere people pass through rather than sit in, so a busier pattern that would feel like too much in a living room often works well here.
Common questions
How do stairs affect a hallway calculation?
A stairwell wall has a sloped top edge — measure to the tallest point on that wall, the same approach as a sloped bedroom ceiling, and trim the excess on shorter strips.
Is one roll ever enough for a whole hallway?
Rarely — hallways are long even though they're narrow, so expect a roll count closer to a mid-size room than the floor area alone would suggest.
