How to Calculate Accent Wall Area

The accent wall area is determined by multiplying the width of the wall by its height. Once the area is calculated, you can estimate the material required based on its coverage per unit.

Formula:

Wall Area (sq ft) = Width × Height

Material Needed:

Material Needed = Wall Area ÷ Material Coverage

Example:

Imagine you have a wall with the following dimensions:

  • Wall width: 12 feet
  • Wall height: 8 feet
  • Material coverage: 350 sq ft per gallon of paint

Calculate Wall Area:
Wall Area = 12 × 8 = 96 sq ft

Calculate Material Needed:
Material Needed = 96 ÷ 350 = 0.27 gallons (approximately 1 quart)

This calculation ensures you purchase only the amount of material you need.
