When homeowners in Las Vegas start planning an interior refresh, one of the first questions that comes up is:

“How much does it cost to paint a 12×12 room?”

It’s a great question—and the answer depends on a few key factors. On average, painting a standard 12×12 bedroom in Las Vegas costs between $350 and $750, but let’s break down what goes into that number so you know exactly what to expect.

Factors That Influence the Cost

1. Condition of the Walls

If the walls only need light prep—like filling small nail holes or minor touch-ups—your cost will stay within the lower range. Rooms requiring patching, sanding, or repairing texture will take more labor and increase the price.

2. Type and Quality of Paint

Higher-quality paints can cost more upfront but provide better durability, washability, and long-term value. Many homeowners choose premium paints for bedrooms and living spaces for the best finish.

3. Number of Coats Needed

In most cases, two coats of paint are needed for a smooth, even finish. However, changing from a dark color to a light one (or vice versa) may require an additional coat or primer.

4. Additional Surfaces

Adding trim, doors, closets, or the ceiling to your project will affect the total cost. Many homeowners choose to paint them together for a complete, fresh look.

Typical Cost Breakdown in Las Vegas

Here’s what most residents can expect to pay for a standard 12×12 room with 8–9 ft ceilings:

Walls only: $350–$550
Walls + trim: $500–$650
Walls + trim + ceiling: $600–$750

These numbers represent average, straightforward residential projects. Custom finishes, accent walls, or specialty coatings may be additional.
