matched

• Some only use boarders which are placed along the top of the ceiling or above the chair rails.

Calculations

• One gallon of paint generally covers 350 square feet of wall

• To calculate paint:

L+L+W+W x ceiling height / 350 = gal.

12+2+30+30 X 8 = 672/350= 2 gal.

• One roll of wallpaper covers 36 feet

• L+L+W+W x ceiling height /36

12+12+30+30 x 8 = 672/36= 18.67 =19 rls
