Hi Keelin,

One bolt of this wallpaper is 20.5 inches wide and 33 feet long, covering 56 square feet. You would get three full strips per roll, so you would need 4 bolts.

Please let us know if you need any further information!

Hi Keelin,

This print has a 21" pattern drop, which means that the usable square footage is significantly less once the print is matched up for each strip.

The equation used was:
(16*12) / 20.5 = 9.3 This is the width of your room in inches divided by the width of each strip if wallpaper.

This means you will need 10 strips to cover your wall.
Each bolt will give you three full 8 foot strips, so you'll need 4 bolts.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
