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.

I want to do my bedroom. I’ve also been looking into the grays. I want it to be sophisticated yet calming. I love what you did with all the grays. It’s great inspiration!

I don’t know if I did all the stuff correctly to enter, but I think so: I joined Blogher, referenced this site, commented here and used the chip it tool and put it on my favorites list… would love to win, my house is in HUGE need of a makeover, 22 years old and a mobile home that I’d LOVE to have looking like a fashionable and lovely place to live! Again posting anonymously, but my info is: T. Macko, [email protected].. don’t know how ‘anonomously’ will tie back to me, hope this works! And hope any redo I conceive will be as great as your room!

Your room is gorgeous…it looks like such a good place to relax with friends or a good book. I would like to create my new office/craft room. I’m a freelance writer currently working in the dining room. My craft room is in tiny bedroom. I’m moving everything into the biggest bedroom so I have a space of my own. I want light, and order. I have to have minimal clutter when I write.

I love your new room. I am not a gray person but I do love the shade you choose. On my computer it looks like a rich gray blue and the white on the crown molding and ceiling really makes it pop!
Never heard of the Chip It tool. Gott check it out.

I have been wanting to paint my livingroom because it is still white! Love that red pillow too!

I’d love to make over my living room. We spend tons of time in that room and its currently a hodgepodge mess. I’d really like to bring a more cohesive look to the room so we can enjoy it even more.

I would love to make over my upstairs bedroom that is now a hodgepodge of office, golf clubs, unhung pictures, etc. I would love to use the chip tool for some inspiration!

I am a an artist and until recently haven’t had the space to have a studio. My wife finally told me to stop belly aching and clear out the office aka the “junk” room.
I’d love to match the room to a specific painting using the chip tool.

My living room needs a makeover. The walls are just cream and the carpets are tan. We have lots of photographs hanging around but the placement isn’t what I’d like.
Kristina W says
Wow, I love how this all came out!! I’d redo my living room, for sure. It’s kind of a mish-mash of lots of things right now.
Candy Thayer says
My living room could use a complete re-do…color, flooring, furniture, accessories…you name it, this living room needs it! Love your color choices.
