The price of interior painting depends mainly on the number of square metres, the condition of the walls and ceilings and how much woodwork needs lacquering. Oranje Kwast works with fixed prices, for example €17 per m² for walls and €20.65 per m² for ceilings, excluding VAT. You hear the final price after the free consultation, once our painter has seen the rooms for himself.
A quote for interior painting is built up from labour, materials and preparation. That last part is often underestimated. A wall with hairline cracks, holes from old picture hooks or flaking paint has to be filled, sanded and primed before any latex goes on. In an Amsterdam upstairs flat with old ceilings that takes far longer than in a new-build apartment with smooth plaster.
The factors that make the biggest difference:
To give you a sense of direction: as a national market indication, painting walls and ceilings with latex generally costs around €8 to €15 per m², paint included. At Oranje Kwast you pay €17 per m² for walls and €20.65 per m² for ceilings, excluding VAT. In the market, lacquer work is usually priced per item or per running metre. Painters who charge by the hour work at roughly €40 to €60 per hour excluding VAT. Oranje Kwast does not work on an hourly basis, but with fixed prices per m² and per item. The page on a painter's hourly rate explains how an hourly price compares with a price per m².
Market rates are explicitly indications. Two rooms of the same size can differ considerably because of the preparation alone. The quote you receive after the consultation is the price that counts.

On large, empty surfaces, such as a home that has just been handed over or a complete ceiling, spraying is often quicker. In the market that brings the labour per m² down, although more masking is needed. What that difference means in your situation is covered under the cost of spraying walls.
For painting work on a home that is more than two years old, the reduced VAT rate of 9% on labour generally applies, while the paint itself is charged at 21%. How that works out on an invoice is explained under VAT on painting work. If in doubt, always check it on belastingdienst.nl.
Our painter visits in person for a free consultation. Together you walk through the rooms, he looks at the surfaces and advises which product suits, for example a scrubbable latex from Sigma or Sikkens for a busy hallway. Within 48 hours of that walk-round you have a written quote, free and without obligation, setting out exactly what will be done. That way there are no surprises afterwards.
