You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to loook on the area of the room right? What is that 2.5metres from your measurement?...thickness?- which you don't need
The Area of the bedroom is 4mx5m= 20m%5E2
And the wallpaper roll can only cover an Area of 6m%5E2 ----> 6mx 1m
So, you need 4
rolls to cover the room Area----> 4+x+6m%5E2 ---> 24m%5E2. This is enough because the room is only 20m%5E2
Thank you,
Jojo
