How much wallpaper do i need for a 10x12 room

The paper I like has a repeat, so I don't think that a straight square-metre calculation is enough? I'm ordering this online so I can't race out and get more if I'm short when I start doing the job, but don't want to waste cash I don't need to!

"you will likely need 6 to 8 standard double rolls of wallpaper, assuming roughly 50-60 sq ft per double roll and including extra for pattern matching/waste"

"not pattern paper about 6 rolls and pattern paper about 8 to be on the safe side"
