How to Calculate Paint for a Bedroom

Bedrooms are the most common rooms to paint in a home. Whether you're refreshing a master bedroom, preparing a guest room, or painting a nursery, our bedroom paint calculator helps you get the exact amount you need.

Bedroom Painting Tips

  • Ceiling height matters: Standard bedrooms have 8-foot ceilings, but newer homes often have 9 or 10-foot ceilings
  • Account for closets: Walk-in closets add significant wall space
  • Accent walls: Consider a different color or finish for one feature wall
  • Paint finish: Eggshell or satin works best for bedrooms - easy to clean and looks great

Average Bedroom Paint Costs

A typical bedroom (12x12 feet) requires about 1.5 gallons of paint for two coats. With quality paint costing $30-50 per gallon, expect to spend $45-75 on paint alone. Add brushes, rollers, tape, and drop cloths for another $20-30.
