How to measure
To figure out the size of your room, use a tape measure to find out how wide, long, and tall it is. Also, count how many windows and doors are in the room. Afterward, put all these numbers into the calculator.
Here's a helpful hint: If your room isn't exactly the same on all sides, add up the measurements for the parts that make up the width and length of your room.

Product details
The bog is an entity, living and breathing, in the heart of Ireland. Ronnie Graham believes "the bog wood seems to emit a haunting power," and he uses its buried oak as the root of his art form. The colour Ancient Black lives in the layers of his sculptures. Ancient Black can bring depth and character to a bathroom, while also giving a hallway a distinctly curated finish. For a considered Irish interior, pair Ancient Black with Blanket Box or Low Cloud, and sample it in Irish daylight. Ask the Cove and Co colour experts for practical guidance on using Ancient Black beautifully in your home.
