Interior Paint Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local interior painters and painting companies. We are not a painting contractor and we do not perform the work ourselves.

The short answer

There is no single price. Interior painting generally runs about $2 to $6 per square foot including labor and materials. A standard room's walls cost roughly $400 to $950, kitchen cabinets about $2,000 to $7,000, and a whole-home interior about $2,000 to $8,000 or more. Prep, ceiling height, and paint grade set the final figure.

Estimate your own numbers with the interior painting cost and paint quantity calculators.
