One of my favorite websites is The Spruce. You can find articles with tons of advice regarding how to take care of your home, inspiration pictures and also tools like their paint calculator.
Have you ever thought about painting a room in your home and you decided to “wing it” when it comes to purchasing paint? And then what if you didn’t purchase enough? Second trip to the store? What do you do with the excess paint? Store it so you can use it in the future? Or toss it? (By the way.. you know you have to dispose paint adequately right?)
Well… what if you can just buy the exact amount of paint and get it right since the first moment? This tool will help you with the math! Very easy to use, just type in the measurements of each wall (width and height) in feet ( Tip: 6.5 would mean 6′ 6″) and click “Calculate”. If you have windows and doors in that room, just include how many of them you have in that room so the tool deducts that space.
It is that easy!
Now…. what colors should you choose? Well…that’s a different story. Need some help choosing? Contact me. I will be happy to help.
