Painting a flat: price per m², paint types and tips

· 4 min read

A coat of paint is the most cost-effective renovation: for little money, your home looks new. Here are prices, paint types and how to get a professional finish.

How much painting costs

As a guide, painting is around €6-8/m² (white or colour). If the walls are damaged, it’s worth smoothing them first (from €18/m²) for a flawless finish. We give you a fixed price after seeing the state of the walls.

Types of paint

  • Matt emulsion: the most common for interior walls; hides imperfections.
  • Washable / premium washable: ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and busy hallways.
  • Enamel: for doors, radiators and joinery.
  • Anti-damp / anti-mould: in areas with condensation issues.

Tips for a great finish

  • Repair cracks and smooth before painting.
  • Use light colours to gain light and a sense of space.
  • Protect floors and furniture well: a clean job shows.
