About BrisHome

BrisHome makes free calculators, planners and checklists for people looking after their own homes, whether they own, rent or are helping someone else. The name is short for “bright home”: a home that is well planned, fresh and cared for.

What the tools do

Each tool turns your measurements and product details into a practical answer: how many wallpaper rolls, how much paint, how many boxes of flooring or tiles, how many lengths of baseboard, how much curtain fabric, what size rug fits, or where to hang each frame. They are built around the way the job is actually done, such as cutting wallpaper in full-height drops, reusing baseboard offcuts or joining fabric widths to make a curtain panel.

The planners help you see a room before you change it: arranging furniture on a scaled floor plan with walkway and door checks, or turning one colour into a balanced room scheme. The checklists turn good habits into a plan: a cleaning routine shared evenly across the days you choose, and a seasonal maintenance calendar for your home and hemisphere.

Principles

• Free and open to use. No account, download or payment is needed to use the tools.
• You provide the product details. BrisHome doesn’t hold a product database or prices. Coverage rates, roll sizes and prices come from you, so the results match what you are actually buying.
• Show the working. Every result includes the calculation steps and the assumptions behind them.
• Be clear about limits. Each tool lists the cases it doesn’t handle, such as half-drop wallpaper or railroaded fabric, rather than guessing.
• Keep your data on your device. Calculations run in your browser, and saved projects stay in your browser.

How the calculations are checked

Each calculator has a worked example on its page that is calculated by hand, step by step. The same examples, plus boundary cases such as exact roll multiples, pattern-repeat rounding, can rounding and unit conversions, are run as automated tests whenever the site is built.

Corrections and feedback

If you find a result that looks wrong, or a situation the tools should explain better, please get in touch. It helps to include the measurements you entered.
