Villa painting costs in Dubai 2026
Interior painting: 8–15 AED per m² of wall area. A 400 m² villa (wall area): 12,000–25,000 AED fully completed. Exterior painting: 20–35 AED per m² due to access complexity. Surface preparation (filling, priming) is priced separately.
Which paint to choose for Dubai
For interiors: Jotun Majestic or Dulux Weathershield — both handle humidity well and are easy to clean. For exteriors: always use Grade A UV-resistant paint. Without UV protection, Dubai exterior paint degrades within 2–3 years.
