If you've ever worked with wallpaper, the same calculations will apply. You will need to know the height and width of your wall. For the sake of simplicity, we'll assume your wall is 9 ft high (3 yards) and 12 ft wide. Next, we'll assume that you've chosen fabric that is 60" wide. Since 60 inches = 5 ft, you'll need 3 strips of fabric 3 yards long each to cover the wall completely (9 yards). If you're going to tack the fabric in place, you'll want to cover the outside edges of the fabric with ribbon or some other decorative trim. You'll need to purchase 2x the width of the wall (2 x 12ft = 24 ft = 8 yards) + 2x the height of the wall (2 x 9ft = 18 ft = 6 yards). For our theoretical wall, you'll need 14 yards (plus a little for overlapping; maybe add 1 ft). To be certain your project will work, I suggest you take the measurements of your wall with you to the fabric store and discuss your design ideas with the customer service person. They should be able to help you with the calculations.
