As you may know, I’m a big fan of Sherwin Williams paint. They have amazing colors and their paint covers beautifully. Their website is even a great help for me when designing. You can find all sorts of help in selecting just the perfect color.

Now that you've selected just the right color and you’re ready to paint, it's time to figure the quantity of paint to purchase. SherwinWilliams now has a Paint Calculator that is AWESOME! 

Start by selecting whether it is an interior project or an exterior project. Then decide if you want a quick estimate by calculating wall space only, or the custom estimate which also takes into consideration the trim work and other details. Continue entering in information such as wall height, quantity of windows, baseboard height and…..Voila! You have a calculated amount of paint required for the project!

 

The next time you're attempting to determine the amount of paint needed, just jump on Sherwin Williams site and get the exact amount!
