How long does it take for a painted room to dry?

just an average sized room, like a living room.How long does it take for a painted room to dry?
Depends on the humidity, the air circulation, and how hot it is. If it's sunny out, nice temperature, and the windows are open it might take six hours. Check the back of your paint, because some need to dry overnight.

1-3 hours latex


4-6 hours oil





completly dry (cured) like ready to hang pics


24 hours latex


up to 3 days oil
depends on the brand of paint. Latex dries faster than enamel, also depends on the weather @ your house, can you open windows and doors for air circulation? Should only take 1-2 hours..Read the directions on the paint can, it will give you the estimated time.
latex flat paint dries to touch in 1 and half-hour. It may be re-coated in 2 hours. Oil is 6-8 hours and can be recoated in 16 hours.
