Wallcoverings are classified either as residential or commercial. Residential wallcoverings are typically 10 ½” to 28” wide and can be 13 ½' to 16 ½' in length. This means that you can cover approximately 27-30 square feet. (Refresher: square feet are determined by multiplying the height of the wall by the length of the wall.)

Now for the part that has never made any sense to me – residential wallcoverings are priced by the single roll, but are packaged in double or triple rolls. There is typically an additional charge if you only want a single roll…go figure.

Have you ever gone back to your favorite Do It Yourself store and purchased another roll of the same pattern only to wonder why it looks so different? Every roll of wallcovering has a pattern number, dye-lot or run number on the cover sheet. It is important to have this information because, if for any reason you need to replace a section due to damage or you decide to do an additional wall, you will want to match the dye-lot or run numbers. Otherwise, the new strip of wallcovering you hang may look like a completely different wallcovering than what you already have on the wall.

Now if you are going around a corner or doing a wall across an opening or a room and they will not be next to each other, you may be lucky. I have started a 3 ring binder and always document the paper manufacturer, pattern number, run number, etc, or save the sheet that was wrapped around my wallcovering so I have a reference. (It is really rewarding to go back and see what was and how it is now.) I always wait to long and end up having an accident after it is discontinued and never to be found again. I have taken to purchasing one double roll for all those “just in cases”. Hmmm, since I have been doing that there seem to have been less “just in cases”.

Have you been stuck with going back to your favorite Do It Yourself store only to find your dye-lot no longer exists? What did you do to solve your design problem?
