I am painting a room 11 and a half feet by 10 and a half feet. There is a window in the room,4 and half feet by 3 and a half feet. The ceiling height is 8 feet but there is coving and skirting so it will be around 7 and a half feet high. There is a light colour on the wall and I am painting it a light blue now, so it will need 2 coats. How much paint will I need? Will I get away with 2.5 litres or will I need 5 litres?

Thanks

I'd go with 5 litres
We painted our sons room with Mr. Blue sky and took three coats to get it looking just right
Similar sized room to what your describing took just under 5 litres around 4.5 litres
