Beside this, what order do you paint the interior of a house?
Pros usually follow a certain order when painting a room. They paint the trim first, then the ceiling, then the walls. That's because it's easier (and faster) to tape off the trim than to tape off the walls.
Also, what does it cost to paint the inside of a house? The average cost to paint the interior of a house falls between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot. If you're doing the ceilings, walls and trim, the cost per square foot will likely fall between $3 and $4. If there is damage to the walls that needs to be repaired before painting can proceed, you'll pay extra.

Water-based acrylic and latex paints can stay good for up to 10 years if never opened and kept from freezing. Leftover paints that have been opened should be closed up tightly, stored in a cool, dry place and used within two years.
