America’s color authority, Pantone, announced that the Color of the Year for 2026 is Cloud Dancer. This fresh hue, a delicate blend of warm off-white, will pair wonderfully with warm grays and bolder accents. Harmonize your home with the embraces of new warmth, this year adding paint color styles grabbing on deep earthen-toned evenings, soft pinks yet a touch of vintage warmth creating new touches. For Florida homeowners, an easy way to bring this color trend indoors is by painting door trim. A fresh coat of low-sheen interior paint looks professional and will resist Florida humidity to prevent peeling and mildew for years to come.
For this project, you will need: Small paint roller 1-inch angled paintbrush Sanding block Primer Paint bucket Paint tray Drop cloth Screwdriver (in case of hardware on the trim)
A drop cloth will protect floors. Use sandpaper to create tooth for paint to adhere. A sanding block is good for getting into corners.
You’ll also need paintable nail filler to fill in holes for any door handles and more or old nails. Prime will prevent the last color from showing through the new one while also drawing out moisture.
Don't skimp on the finish, you’ll want a low-sheen interior paint which will look like a flatter paint but is durable to humidity, flaking, and decay.
If your splits have any grease, dirt, or other build‑up, wash it down with a mild detergent and let it dry thoroughly.
Lightly sand any existing colored surfaces to create tooth for the new paint to adhere to it properly. You can remove any peel to create smooth edges. After sanding, be sure the surface is clean.
Apply your primer as per manufacturer’s instructions.
Once the primer has dried at least 2-4 hours, apply a final thin layer of low-sheen interior paint. Any work done over it in another shade may not be weather friendly.
