How Much Does It Cost to Wallpaper a Room in Nigeria?

Well, the answer to that question depends on the size of your room and the quality of the wallpaper. If you have a large room, you should be prepared to spend a substantial amount to wallpaper it. Also, if you are using top-quality wallpaper with beautiful designs, you should prepare a large budget. This article answers the question, how much does it cost to wallpaper a room in Nigeria? It considers wallpaper prices in Nigeria and the various kinds available. 

Wallpaper Price in Nigeria

We mentioned before that the amount you will spend to wallpaper a room in Nigeria depends on the price and quality of the wallpaper. True, there are cheap and expensive wallpaper for sale in Nigeria that you can use in your room. Cheap wallpaper price in Nigeria starts from ₦4000 and can reach ₦7000 per square meter. Expensive wallpaper starts from ₦6000 and can reach ₦15000 per square meter. The differences between those wallpaper are in the quality of the materials used to make them and the design pattern. 

Coated fabric wallpaper, for example, is more expensive than printed paper. Also, vinyl-coated and solid vinyl wallpapers are more expensive than printed paper. So, if you choose to use any of the high-end wallpaper in your room, you should be prepared to spend much. This is not to say that printed paper wallpaper is not good to use in your room. In fact, printed wallpaper is the most common wallpaper in Nigeria, but it is not moisture resistant like vinyl wallpaper. 

How to Estimate the Amount of Wallpaper You Will Use in Your Room

Another thing that affects how much it cost to wallpaper a room in Nigeria is the size of your room. Most bedrooms in Nigeria are small, meaning that you will spend less to wallpaper them, while others are large. To know if your bedroom is small or large, you have to measure the wall. Most rooms have four walls, but you should double-check yours in case it has more than four. Start by measuring the walls one after the other. You can start with the largest wall and end with the smallest. 

To know the size of the wall in square meters, you should measure the length and height. Start from that ground and measure from left to right or right to left, anyhow you prefer. After getting the measurement, you can proceed to measure the height of the wall. Start from the ceiling and draw the measuring tape down to the ground. Now that you have both the length and height of one of the walls in meters, it is time to estimate the size in square meters. 

Multiply the length and height to get the final result. If the length is 4 m and the height is 3 m, the size of the wall in square meters will be 12. Now that you have the measurement for one wall, do the same for the other walls and add the results. For example, if the sizes of the three other walls are 10, 7, and 6 respectively, add everything (12 + 10 + 7 + 6 = 35 square meters) to know the size of your room in square meters.  

Estimating the Cost

Now that you know how to measure your room and the price of wallpaper in Nigeria, you can estimate how much it will cost to wallpaper your room. If you go for printed wallpaper that costs ₦4000 for 5.3 square meters and your room is 35 square meters, divide 35/5 to know how many rolls of wallpaper you will buy. In this case, you will buy 7 rolls of wallpaper if you want to cover the wall of your room. So, multiply 7 by ₦4000 to know how much you will spend to wallpaper your room. The result will be ₦28, 000, which is the amount you will spend to wallpaper your room. Note that the amount we have here is imaginary. Your room can be bigger or smaller than the imaginary measurement we used.
