A fair price for painting a room in United States in 2025 to 2026 depends on size, condition, location, and whether you include materials, but typical range is 300 to 900 dollars for standard 10x12 or 12x12 bedroom with one coat primer and two coats paint, labor plus paint. For small bathroom or 10x10 room, fair price is 250 to 600 dollars. For large living room 20x20 or master bedroom, 600 to 1500 dollars. This includes prep like patching small holes, taping, sanding, painting walls, sometimes ceiling and trim extra. If ceiling included, add 100 to 300 dollars, trim and doors add 100 to 400 dollars. Labor alone is often 2 to 6 dollars per square foot of wall area, or 30 to 70 dollars per hour. Paint and supplies cost 50 to 150 dollars per room depending on quality. In high cost areas like New York or California, prices are 20 to 40 percent higher. DIY cost is 100 to 300 dollars for paint and supplies but takes time.
