Theres a few ways.......

Take a tape measure pull out 21 inches and walk round the room counting how many drop youl need then divide by 3 or four if the ceiling is low and theres no pattern to match

Or do the same thing with a roll of paper....

Or measure the perimeter of the room in metres then divide this by .52 then divide by 3 or 4

Dont try and work it out by the square metres its difficult to get an acurate answer.

Or use a wallpaper calculating chart...im sure theres one on the net somewhere...but personally I dont find them acurate either,
