Wall panelling calculator
Work out tongue-and-groove panel counts, or a balanced picture-frame layout, from your wall width, height and moulding width. Results update as you type.
Measure the wall you are panelling. Work in millimetres so the panel widths come out exact.
The full width to cover with panels.
Floor to ceiling - sets each strip length. Floor to ceiling - caps how wide each frame can be.
The finished width of one panel strip. 100mm is a common slat-panel width - adjust to match your material. The width of the moulding that forms the frame borders and dividers. Thinner mouldings (e.g. 10-40mm) suit picture-frame panelling.
Your target width for every panel. Used for the edge borders, the dividers between frames, and the top and bottom rails.
equal panels at mm each
Each panel is mm off your target width.
full panels at mm + one panel at mm
The odd panel is mm off your target width.
frames across, each × mm, framed by vertical mouldings plus a top and bottom rail.
No balanced layout fits these dimensions. Try a wider wall, a taller wall, or a narrower moulding.

Always an odd number, so a frame sits centred on the wall.
Width is kept under half the height for a balanced look.
One at each edge plus a divider between frames.
Top and bottom rails plus every vertical moulding.
We divide your wall width by your panel strip width to see how many strips fit. When that is a whole number you are done. When it is not, there are two tidy options: nudge every panel to an equal width so they all fit perfectly, or keep most panels at your target width and finish with one narrower panel.
We recommend whichever keeps your panels closest to your target width. Spreading a small leftover across every panel means each one moves by only a hair, so that is almost always the neater result than leaving a single odd panel. The odd-panel split is shown too, in case you would rather keep most panels at exactly your default width.
Total strip length is the number of panels multiplied by your wall height, so you can order the right run of material. Add a little extra for cuts and mistakes.
Picture-frame panelling sets a row of equal rectangular frames across the wall: a moulding at each edge, a divider between every pair of frames, and a rail along the top and bottom. For a row of N frames you need N+1 vertical mouldings.
We choose an odd number of frames so one frame sits centred on the wall, which reads as balanced. We also take the moulding width off the top and bottom of the height, then keep each frame opening narrower than half that remaining height - tall, portrait-shaped frames look far better than short squat ones.
Total moulding length adds the top and bottom rails to every vertical moulding, so you can order the right run of material. Add a little extra for mitres, cuts and mistakes.
