The right amount of paint

Problem: The last time I painted a room in our home, I overbought the paint and ended up with extra gallons. I want to use the remainder to paint another room, but I’m afraid there isn’t quite enough left. How can I figure out the right amount?

Solution: The Interior Paint Calculator is what you need. It’s one of a number of handy online tools on the Easy2DIY site (www.easy2diy.com). To find the paint calculator, go to Task and select Painting. Then click the How-To Tutorials tab and then the Interior Paint Calculator. Now that you’re here, it’s all a matter of simply filling in your room’s details (length, width, and height, as well as door and window info), and you’ll get a recommendation for the number of gallons/quarts for walls, ceiling, and trim.
