How much paint do I need?

Wall area = room perimeter × ceiling height, minus ~21 sq ft per door and ~15 sq ft per window. One gallon covers about 350 sq ft per coat on smooth, primed walls. Plan on two coats for color changes, and buy a quart extra for touch-ups — paint from the same batch always matches best.
