How much does interior painting cost per room?

Set the room count, pick a typical size — powder room up to an open-concept great room — choose one, two or primer-plus-two coats, then add ceilings, trim and doors, closets, accent walls or crown moulding. Wall condition scales the price: patching adds about 14%, heavy repair or wallpaper removal 40%. Three average rooms with ceilings and trim estimate at $1,845–2,985, paint included — about $615–995 a room.

Common questions

What does it cost to paint one room?

With two coats and paint included, a small powder room prices at $210–330, an average bedroom $380–560, a large living or primary room $620–920, and an open-concept space $950–1,500. Ceilings, trim and wall repairs add from there.

How much extra are ceilings and trim?

Per room, the calculator adds $95–175 for ceilings and $140–260 for trim, baseboards and doors. Closet interiors run $55–110, an accent or feature wall $85–190, and crown moulding $110–210.

Does wall condition really change the quote?

Yes — prep is the hidden cost in painting. Walls needing some patching price about 14% higher, and heavy repair or wallpaper removal adds around 40% to the room rate. The final number firms up once the painter has seen the walls.

Is one coat ever enough?

Going over a similar colour on walls in good shape, one coat can work and prices about 22% below the two-coat rate. Colour changes and fresh drywall usually need primer plus two coats, which adds 25% instead.
