Master Bedroom paint calculator

Master bedrooms run larger than secondary bedrooms — typically 16 × 14 ft with 9-ft ceilings, two doors (entry + closet or bathroom), and two windows. Walls work out to ~510 sq ft, so plan for ~1.5 gallons for one coat or 3 for two coats.

Recommended finish: eggshell

How much paint for a master bedroom?

For a typical 16 × 14 ft master with 9-ft ceilings: 2 gallons for one coat, 3–4 gallons for two coats. Add a quart of trim paint for the door and window casing if you're changing trim color too.

Accent wall math

A single accent wall is usually 14 ft long × 9 ft tall = 126 sq ft. That's less than half a gallon — a single quart of accent color is plenty.

FAQ

Should the master bedroom and ensuite be the same color?

Not required. The master usually wants a calmer color (deeper blues, sages, off-whites); the ensuite often goes lighter to maximize the small space. Continuity is fine if you want it, but most designers separate them.
