How much paint do I need? A room-by-room planner

Most people guess how much paint to buy and end up with too little or a cupboard full of leftovers. This planner turns your room's measurements into litres and a sensible tin mix.

Put in your length, width and ceiling height, then see how doors, coats and the number of walls change the result. Measure first, buy once.
