No project is too big or too small – we handle it all with care and precision. Here’s what our residential painting services cover –

a) Residential Interior Painting Services

Want to brighten up your living room? Refresh your bedroom? Or modernise your entire interior? We’ll work with you to choose colours and finishes that match your style and make your home feel like new.

Interior Home Painting, Room by Room

Every room in a home 🏡 is painted differently from one another as per the requirements; different moisture exposure and different finishes work best. Our residential interior painting covers:

• Living & dining rooms — Usually a low-sheen or matte finish, since these rooms benefit from a soft, even look rather than high shine.
• Bedrooms — Usually a low-sheen or matte finish, since these rooms benefit from a soft, even look rather than high shine.
• Kitchens — Usually a low-sheen or matte finish, since these rooms benefit from a soft, even look rather than high shine.
• Bathrooms — water- and moisture-resistant paint formulated to resist mould and mildew in high humidity spaces.
• Hallways & high-traffic areas — amore durable, scuff- resistant finish since these surfaces get knocked and brushed against daily.
• Home offices & studies — often a feature wall or accent colour, paired with a neutral base to keep video calls and daily focus in mind.

We talk through finish and shine level for each space as part of your free colour consultation, so the whole home works as one cohesive palette instead of a room-by-room guess.

b) Residential Exterior Painting Services

Your home’s exterior is the first thing people see. Let’s make it impressive! Whether you’re getting ready to sell or just want to boost your home’s curb appeal, our residential exterior painting services can give your home the facelift it deserves.

c) Feature Walls & Custom Finishes

Want something a little different? We can create standout feature walls or add textures and finishes that give your home that designer touch.

How Much Does House Painting Cost in Melbourne?

Painting cost is the first question people usually ask before they call a painter, so here is a general guide to what residential painting projects typically run in Melbourne. These are sample ranges; your actual quote basically depends on the surface condition of your property, like walls, ceiling height, number of coats, and the paint system you choose, which is why we always confirm the exact price after a free on-site visit:

• Single room refresh painting work starts roughly from $300 to $600 depending on the room size and wall condition.
• Full interior repaint (3-bedroom home): usually from $3000 to $6000
• Single-storey exterior repaint — Usually from $3000 to $6000
• Double-storey / weatherboard exterior — Usually from $3000 to $6000

Every quote we provide is itemised and fixed before we start the work — no hourly billing surprises and no hidden costs once the job is started, but even if you want to go for hourly billing, you need to confirm during the home visit.

Let’s Paint Your Dream Home

Ready to get started? Whether it’s a modern touch-up or a classic colour refresh, we’re the residential painting contractor you can count on. Give your home the love it deserves with Orchid House Painters—your go-to experts for residential interior and exterior painting services in Melbourne.

1) How long does a typical residential painting project take?

It depends on the size and complexity of your home. Most interior projects take 3–7 days, while full exterior jobs may take up to a week. We always provide a clear timeline before starting and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine.

2) Do I need to move my furniture before painting?

Not necessarily. Our team can help move or cover large furniture items to protect them during the painting process. We also use drop cloths and plastic sheets to ensure your belongings and floors stay clean and safe throughout the job.

3) What kind of paint do you use for interior and exterior projects?

We use premium, low-VOC, eco-friendly paints from trusted brands suited to Melbourne’s climate. For interiors, we recommend washable, low-odour finishes. For exteriors, we use weather-resistant paints that offer long-lasting protection against UV rays, moisture, and wear. We’re happy to recommend the best options for your space.

4) How much does it cost to paint a house in Melbourne?

Pinting a house in melbourne is depend on the type of property and location but usuallu costs from round $300 for a single room up to $3,000–$6,000 for a full interior repaint of a standard 3-bedroom home, and if you feel that you want to do the exterior painting then exterior repaints ranging from roughly $3,000 for a single-storey home to $15,000+ for a larger double-storey property. The exact cost depends on your wall conditions, height of the ceiling, number of coats you want on your wall, and the paint system you decide for your house, which is why we provide a fixed price only after a free on-site assessment.

5) What should I look for in a local house painter?

A reliable local house painter should be fully licensed, carry public liability insurance, offer a written project warranty, provide a fixed quote before starting, and be able to show real reviews from customers in your area. Being genuinely local also means faster response times compared to other companies and painters who understand the Melbourne climate and common building materials like weatherboard, brick veneer, and render. Orchid House Painters is a 2-decade-old company, and we have knowledge of all such things.

6) What’s the difference between interior and exterior house paint?

Interior house paint is totally different from exterior paint; first, interior paint must have low odour and a smooth finish suited to indoor conditions of the house. Unlike interior paint, exterior paint is built to withstand UV exposure, rain, wind, and high temperatures; it should look perfect without cracking or fading. Using the wrong type of painting material or the wrong finish within interior paint, like a flat finish in a high-moisture bathroom, is one of the most common reasons a paint job fails early. Painters must inspect the wall’s quality and type before starting painting.

7) How long does it take to paint the interior of a house?

The painting job depends on the area being painted. Still, if we talk about a single room, it typically takes 1-2 days including preparation and two coats, while a full interior repaint of a standard house usually takes 3-7 days depending on the number of rooms, wall condition, and drying time between coats, because till the wall is dry, we cannot apply the second coat. We confirm the exact timeline in writing before work begins.
