How much paint do I need for an armoire?

I found an old armoire at a thrift store that I want to upcycle. The armoire is in pretty solid shape but the surface needs to be sanded down and repainted. How much paint do I need for an armoire?

How much paint you’ll need for an armoire depends on its size. Generally, you can expect a quart of paint to cover about 100 square feet, while a gallon of paint could cover about 400 square feet.
Those figures could vary somewhat depending on the paint’s thickness or viscosity and how it takes to the surface of the armoire.
You also might want to consider applying a protective sealant after your paint job to protect your armoire, so make sure you have enough of that on hand, too.
Enjoy your armoire upcycling project! Now, once you’re finished, don’t let all that elbow grease go to waste—whether you own or rent your current home, having the right
