Wallpaper calculators, B and Q site must be wrong?

aggypanthus

I have used the wallpaper calculator on the site, and it makes no real sense. It tells me my room requires 3 rolls, when in fact even one wall on its own needs 2 rolls . It clearly goes by actual sq m area, and not allowing for matching and spare unused half lengths. Has anyone else found this?

What should I expect to pay for stripping paper in a room then hanging 7 rolls, one window and one double door to go round.
The paper isnt anything tricky like painted over woodchip .

The B and Q wall paper calculator is just a guide so you can get a close guess on No. of rolls / cost. There is a disclaimer at the top of the page stating

"Please note, if your chosen style of wallpaper has a longer pattern repeat, you should consider buying extra to ensure you don't run out."

IRO £ 200 if its straightforward and depending on where you are.

Can the calculator from BQ be that wrong?? very unlikely.
Suggest you re read the chart.
