Welcome to The WorkRoom Help Center. Below you'll find answers to the questions we hear most about ordering wallpaper, wallcoverings sold by the yard, fabric yardage, samples, shipping, and returns — plus a couple of calculators to help you plan before you buy.

The calculators below are a guide only — always confirm final quantities with your installer or workroom.

---

Wallpaper & Wallcovering Calculators

Wallpaper Roll Calculator For wallpaper sold by the roll. Enter your wall dimensions, and if your pattern has a repeat, add the repeat size and match type to get a more accurate estimate. Best for: most designer wallpapers and standard roll goods.

Use the Wallpaper Roll Calculator

Wallcovering Yardage Calculator For wallcoverings sold by the linear yard rather than the roll — think select grasscloths, natural woven materials, and specialty finishes. Best for: yard-sold wallcoverings, including those with minimum yardage or ordering increments. Use the Yardage Calculator

How to Measure for Wallpaper

What measurements do I need?

• Total width of all walls being papered (add each wall together)
• Ceiling height (or the height you're papering to)
• Doors and windows — optional, since most installers prefer not to subtract these

Should I subtract doors and windows? Generally, no. Installers usually skip this because pattern matching increases waste, you still need material above and below openings, and it's helpful to have extra for alignment and future repairs.

How much extra should I order? A little cushion goes a long way — for pattern repeat and matching, install adjustments and trimming, and future repairs where dye-lot consistency matters.

Ordering Wallpaper, Fabric & Trim

Can I order online? Yes, most products can be ordered directly online. A few brands require special ordering — when that's the case, the product or brand page will let you know whether to order by email or phone at 800-497-8042.

Do some items have minimums or increments? Yes — many manufacturers set minimums, like 2-yards, 2-roll or 10-yard requirements. These are noted on the product page wherever they apply.

Why do minimums exist? They come from the manufacturer, usually tied to production runs, packaging formats (single vs. double rolls), or specialty finishing and backing requirements.

---

Samples

Can I order samples? When a product has samples available, you can order them right from the product page. A few manufacturers restrict sampling or require a special request.

Should I order a sample before purchasing? We really recommend it. Screens vary, and texture and scale are best judged in person — especially for grasscloth and natural fibers, metallics and specialty finishes, and large-scale patterns.

---

Shipping & Lead Times

How long does shipping take? It depends on the manufacturer and whether an item is in stock, made-to-order, or temporarily backordered. Where we can, we show estimated timelines on the product page.

Do you ship nationwide? Yes, throughout the United States. If your project is time-sensitive, reach out before ordering so we can help confirm timing and availability.

---

Returns, Cancellations & Dye Lots

Can I return wallpaper or fabric? Many special-order items are final sale per the manufacturer's policy, so it's worth reviewing product details and double-checking quantities before ordering.

Why should I order everything at once? Wallpaper and many textiles can vary slightly by dye lot. Ordering your full quantity together helps keep the finish consistent across your installation.

---

Installation Guidance

Do you recommend professional installation? Yes, especially for grasscloth, natural fibers, or other specialty textures — these are best left to a professional installer.

What if I'm not sure about repeat, match, or quantity? Start with the calculators above, then reach out with the product name or SKU, your wall widths and ceiling height, and any tricky spots like doors or windows. We'll help you double-check everything before you check out.
