How Accurate Are Online Paint Calculators for Estimating Room Coverage?

[tofow]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to repaint my living room and want to make sure I buy the right amount of paint without over- or under-purchasing. I’ve come across several tools online, but I’m not sure which is the most reliable.

Can anyone share their experience with using a paint calculator square feet tool? How close were the estimates to the actual paint used? Are there any tips for factoring in ceilings, doors, or textured walls?

Any advice on avoiding common mistakes when calculating paint needs would be greatly appreciated!
