Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room: The Big Reveal!
This is the big reveal for my Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room, with the Gauntlet Gray paint that I selected! I hope you enjoy this tour, I’m really in love with this color and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
You may recall that I selected Sherwin-Williams Gauntlet Gray for my walls, and I am thrilled with how gorgeous that color looks in this room!
I love how easily the Chip It! tool brought everything together. I was able to pull from both of the inspiration photos to get the exact look I was hoping for. Sherwin-Williams Bee’s Wax color is represented in the natural tones of the sisal rug, and the horse-print frame is a perfect match for Sherwin-Williams (SW) Tricorn Black!
I used lots of white touches (shown as SW Extra White on the palette) to add some lightness and contrast to the gray. This loveseat was previously in my family room, but it really wasn’t the right size for that space so it worked out great moving it in here. I popped in lots of pieces of Ironstone from my collection and I splurged on the white glass lamps, but it was sooo worth it!
The mirrors, end tables, coffee table, horse art and chairs all came from the shop that I recently closed down. Perfect timing on that one!
I was so excited to find these Ikat Pillows that incorporate the SW Heartthrob red and the SW Dragonfruit pink!
I’ve had that long sofa table in my garage for over a year! I may end up painting it to match the coffee table. The print is a family heirloom and I snagged the antique concrete urn at Lucketts. I love displaying old garden pieces inside my home. I still need to fill the urn with something.
We’ll see! I think the living room looks just as nice as the dining room now!
This was my first inspiration photo. I chipped it and used Gauntlet Gray for the walls. It’s a funny photo of a Swallow bird with a baby. It had a lot of interesting grays in it though, so I thought it would make a good color palette.
This was my second inspiration photo. I chipped it too and used these colors to pull my accessories together. A big thanks again to Chassity from Look Linger Love for letting me use her dining room photo! I hope you enjoyed this tour of my Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room. Don’t be afraid to try a darker color in your home, I highly recommend that Gauntlet Gray Paint color, I get so many compliments on it.

Amazing! I love Sherwin Williams paint, and used to live in New England where I used it exclusively in my home that was built in 1798 in CT, and a subsequent one here in CA… Not to rave, but I found only SW performed well and had the colors I loved! Your room looks terrific, I thought out of a magazine look! And I love the transition of the gray to the red in your dining room… Now if only I could get my house to look as good, sigh. Thanks for sharing! I’m posting as anonymous, but if I win the makeover I’m T. Macko, at [email protected]… good luck to everyone!

I would love to redo my bedroom – it has so much potential and looks like crap. My husband has a toy collection on his side and my side has all the clothes and whatnot.

Actually need to re-do a whole house we are closing on August 15th! So excited to make it my own and really excited to learn about the Chip It program. Sherwin-Williams is the only paint we use. We’ve learned the hard way! Beautiful room!

My bedroom needs a makeover. I’d love to make it more relaxing and more of a retreat.

I love the darker gray shade! Our bathroom is in need of a makeover!
Rachel says
Wow Great reveal! I would love to be able to re-do my living/work room. It has a high ceiling painted the same dull sage green as the border around the top of the room and the walls are a light mint color. We have been here a little over 3 years but the bedrooms had to be done first as the previous owners rented it to smokers so scrubbing walls and repainting the rooms for the kids came first. Part of the living room is for the family and the other half has my computer desk and craft shelves. Thanks for a chance to win this!

MY living room! It needs major help starting with a new couch!

My kitchen is small & outdated but mainly just needs paint! I am thinking of redoing the cabinets by painting them!

The pillow adds the perfect splash of feminine color to the beautiful gray walls. Perfectly pleasing to the eye. Great job.
