At the end of this list, we’ll show you exactly how to choose a color scheme for your home. So without further ado, let’s begin with our top 2022 house paint color, “Alabaster” from Sherwin Williams.
The house we’re working on is about 900 square feet. All in all it cost about $1300 to paint the entire place. The quote from our contractor was $2500 and that number didn’t include skim coating the dining room, which we ran into unexpectedly. So we saved over $1000 doing it ourselves, and our cost included a paint sprayer we purchased! Actually, let me break down all of the costs for you. (This is a rough breakdown, all numbers are rounded.)
Now, from what’s on-trend to classic neutral undertones, here are the 10 exterior house colors that made our 2022 list.
At times, a delicate armoire or bookcase can add complexity and cost to move or work around during a paint job. Likewise, make sure to communicate any delicate items in the dining room or around your home that can easily break before the job begins with the painting service you hire.

Cost To Paint Inside of House Size Average Cost 1-Bedroom House $800 – $4,100 2-Bedroom House $1,000 – $6,400 3-Bedroom House $1,200 – $8,500 4-Bedroom House $2,000 – $10,000 5-Bedroom House $3,000 – $12,000
*Lower-end prices are for walls only. High-end covers walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors, and trim.
Some walls in your home need to be repainted more frequently than others due to daily wear and tear. For example, if you only eat in your formal dining room a couple times a year during the holidays, you probably won’t need to paint the walls as often as those found in your kitchen, hallways, or bathroom. Painting Tip! Drywall repair prior to painting over dings and scrapes is often necessary. Professional painters also suggest paint with an eggshell sheen as it is great for hallways with a lot of foot traffic.
Bead board on the ceiling, love the paint color. Great tile for the floor as well. Someday.
Painting the exterior of a 600 square-foot tiny home can be a much easier task than taking on a 3,000 square-foot, two-story home. Take your home’s size into account as you assess the home painting project’s time and labor.

2. Clean walls. With a pressure washer, spray off dirt, dust, moss, and other debris stuck to your siding. Once the walls dry, scrape or sand off any peeling paint. Clean every surface you plan to paint.
Sherwin’s Pewter Cast (SW 7673) is a cool-muted tone of gray that works well for exterior stucco, lap siding, or cedar shingles. For homes with dark gray shingles or black roofs and exposed stone or brick, this gray exterior color’s adaptability is key. It also pairs nicely with white exterior trim colors like Zircon (SW 7667).
A professional interior painting contractor should be willing to provide a breakdown of your costs so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. They’ll also be able to advise you on ways to reduce your costs. For example: Instead of making a dramatic color change, a single coat of the same or similar color can give you a fresh, polished look for less. You may avoid the need for primer, which is an additional expense. If you want to paint one wall of a room for a punch of color, choosing the wall with the most windows and doors can save you money, as you’re painting less wall space. Re-evaluate the need to paint trim. You might still get the effect you want without it. If you’ve fallen in love with a color from a “designer” brand of paint, consider a less expensive option. You’re likely to get a close or even perfect match. If your walls need repairs, consider making them yourself.
