Wallpaper Paste Instructions Symbols
Paste the Paper
The adhesive is applied directly to the back of the wallpaper before hanging. The paper must then soak. This is the traditional method and works well for most classic wallpaper types.
Paste the Wall
The adhesive is applied straight to the wall instead of the wallpaper. This makes installation cleaner and faster, with no soaking time required. It’s ideal for modern non-woven wallpapers.
Ready to Paste
These wallpapers already have dry adhesive on the back. Simply activate it with water before hanging. This method is easy and convenient, perfect for DIY projects or quick installations.
Wallpaper Pattern Matches Symbols
Free Match
The design has no specific alignment from strip to strip, meaning the pattern looks continuous no matter how the wallpaper is hung. This makes installation faster and with minimal waste.
Straight Match
The pattern matches horizontally from strip to strip at the same height. Each wallpaper panel must align exactly with the previous one, ensuring a seamless and uniform look.
Offset Match
The pattern on one strip is shifted up or down (usually by half the design’s height) to align correctly with the next strip. This type of match creates a more dynamic, flowing visual effect.

Wallpaper Calculator
Enter the size of your wall and the wallpaper rolls you’ve chosen to estimate the number of rolls needed.
Please note:
Walls by Manny is not responsible for any excess or shortage resulting from these calculations.
The required number of rolls may vary depending on the wallpaper’s pattern match and repeat size.
This calculator does not account for doors, windows, or other wall openings.
- It’s always recommended to order an extra roll to ensure pattern consistency, allow for trimming during installation, and have matching wallpaper available for any future touch-ups or renovations — this helps prevent color variations that may occur between different production batches.
