Wallpaper Costs
Wallpaper is one of the most transformative ways to elevate a space but it can also feel like a puzzle. Every brand does things differently, which makes it tricky to compare prices or guess how many rolls you’ll actually need. Here’s a simple guide to the biggest factors that impact cost, so you can feel confident planning your project.
Pattern Repeat Matters
Large pattern repeats mean you’ll need more wallpaper to line up the design which increases the number of rolls and the total cost.
Material Type Affects Price
Material choice matters. From printed paper to handcrafted grasscloths and murals, the price can range from $ to $$$ per square foot.
Widths & Lengths Vary
Not all rolls cover the same area! Roll width and length determine how much coverage you get, which is why precise measuring is key.
To put this into perspective, here are a few real-world projects with their wallpaper costs so you can see how these factors play out in practice.
Ex. House of Hackney Bedroom
This bedroom has a total of 432 sq ft (4 walls, 12’ wide, 9’ tall) and the client wanted all four walls covered.
The wallpaper from House of Hackney, comes in single rolls comprised of 4 9’10” panels, each 1’5” wide and it comes in traditional paste only.
This specific paper, Hollyhocks, has a 20.5” repeat
To ensure proper installation around doors, windows and extra in case of future repairs, the bedroom would need 9 rolls.
The cost of this material is aproximately $3200 before sales tax and shipping.
Ex. Funky Paper Bathroom
This bathroom is approximately 70 sq ft with four walls measuring roughly 7’ x 10’ and a 9’ ceiling.
With wainscoting on the lower third, only the top 6’ is papered — reducing the wallpapered area to about 46 sq ft of coverage per wall.
Using Funky Paper Co’s Magnolia Paperie x Katie Blasko “Ducks – Green” in matte traditional finish, each roll covers ~56 sq ft.
Total coverage needed: ~185 sq ft. The bathroom would require 4 rolls to allow for pattern matching and extra for trimming.
The cost of this material is approximately $1,120 before sales tax and shipping.
Ex. Philip Jeffries Restaurant Feature Wall
This feature wall measures 25’ wide by 12’ tall, for a total of 300 sq ft of wall space.
The selected material, Philip Jeffries GV103: Deco Leaf – Sunburst, is a specialty wallcovering sold by the yard and trims to 36” wide.
Total yardage needed:
Each yard covers 9 sq ft (36” × 36”).
300÷9=33.3300 ÷ 9 = 33.3300÷9=33.3 yards needed.
Since Philip Jeffries sells in 8-yard bolts, you would order 40 yards (5 bolts) to ensure full coverage and a small buffer.
This material has no pattern repeat, minimizing waste and simplifying installation.
The cost of this material is approximately $8,480 before sales tax and shipping.
Installation Costs
Wallpaper installation is part art, part math. Prices shift with wall prep, height, material, pattern match and more. On average, installation can cost between $5 up to $15 a sq ft. During our consultation, I will be able to put together a rough ballpark estimate.
