Painting a 1-bedroom apartment in Port Harcourt? Here's exactly how much paint you need — and what it'll cost you.
What counts as a 1-bedroom?
A standard self-contained flat: bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and corridor.
Total paintable area (walls + ceiling): 250 – 350 sqm
How much paint for 2 coats?
🔹 Smooth/Screeded walls: 15–20 litres
🔹 Rough/Unscreeded walls: 19–24 litres
🔹 Ceiling only: 15–18 litres (we recommend a full 20L pail — Terra Matte hides imperfections and reduces glare)
Budget Guide — Terra Standard Grade:
🔹 Smooth surface finish: ₦69,000 – ₦110,000
🔹 Rough wall finish: ₦120,000 – ₦180,000
(Varies by number of coats, surface condition, and Matte vs Satin choice)
Which finish is right for you?
✅ Terra Matte → Soft, elegant, non-reflective. Best for bedrooms and ceilings.
✅ Terra Satin → Subtle sheen, easy to clean. Best for living rooms and kitchens.
Both are manufactured right here in Port Harcourt — formulated for Nigerian heat, humidity, and coastal air.
Pro Tip: Always prime rough or new surfaces before painting. It saves paint and improves the final look.
