If you have never had the interior of your 3BHK home painted, you must be confused about how many litres of paint for a 3 bedroom house. Generally, a three-bedroom house of 1000 sq ft to 1200 sq ft requires three to four liters of paint per coat for the ceilings and ten to twelve liters per coat for the walls. But the exact value depends on the following factors:

  • The exact size of your 3BHK property 

  • Surface area that has to be painted

  • Number of coats required

How Many Litres of Paint for 3 Bedroom House are Needed?

  • The walls in the majority of Indian homes are 9 to 10 feet high. So, the total wall area = 4 x the floor area x 0.8. (The 0.8 factor will not include doors, windows, and apertures.) 

  • Thus, for a 3BHK home that is 1000 to 1200 square feet, the paintable wall area will be approximately 3,200 to 3,800 sq ft.

  • Now, suppose you purchase a litre of an emulsion paint that covers 130 sq ft to 150 sq ft per coat. 

  • Using this formula,

    Per coat paint needed = Total wall area ÷ Coverage.

    21 litres to 25 litres of paint is required for the entire house. However, approximately 10 litres to 12 litres per coat is required for all walls combined.

For two coats of paint, the overall cost will double. For instance, it would require 20 litres to 24 litres for walls and 6 litres to 8 litres for ceilings. Also, purchasing an additional 1 litre to 2 litres of paint is a smart idea for future touch-ups. Whenever possible, spend more money on high-quality, branded paints.
