How much can a quart of paint cover?
I’m planning an accent wall for my bedroom, so I’m trying to figure out how much paint I’ll need for each color. How much can a quart of paint cover?

Generally speaking, a quart of paint can cover about 100 square feet.
How much space a quart of paint covers can vary depending on the paint’s thickness or consistency and what kind of surface you’re applying it to, but it’s generally a safe bet to use the 100 square feet per quart as a rule of thumb.
It’s also useful to plan to have a decent amount of each color left over in case you need to make any touch-ups to your accent wall later, like if you were to accidentally scratch some of the paint while moving furniture around.
If you need to cover a larger amount of space, it might be more cost effective to use a gallon of paint as opposed to several individual quart containers of paint, so keep that in mind.
As you add all those finishing touches to your bedroom oasis, here’s something to think about. Whether you own or rent your current home, there’s an easy way to protect all your belongings: by using the
