Wall Painting: What Does It Cost?

Painting walls costs on average €10 per square meter.
The typical range is €4–€16 per m², depending on the type of paint, labor, and complexity.

Factors Affecting Costs

  • Wall area (square meters)

  • Price of paint and materials

  • Labor costs

  • Possible additional costs (e.g., moving furniture, covering floors)

Material and Labor Costs

The following costs include both labor and materials:

  • Covering floors: €0.30–€5.50/m² (if not included in painting price)

  • Priming walls: €1–€5/m²

  • Painting walls once: €5–€10/m²

  • Special colors or patterns: €20–€30/m²

  • If furniture or obstacles block the area, additional effort may increase costs.

If the job location is outside the service area, travel fees usually range from €10 to €50.
