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.

You better watch it….he’s gonna wanna move back in there! It’s a lovely room.
I’d love to give my living room an update. I recently purchased a lovely pair of sage green draperies and moved some prints from another room in there, and it just needs the right color to pull it all together!

Gutsy to go with a a grey that dark, but it worked, good for you! my kitchen (which was custom-built for the previous owner in 1952) is in dire need of a makeover,I am thinking green for the base cabinets, cream for the uppers, and some kind of pink (but don’t tell my husband!) for the walls, but would love to be able to see it before committing to colours.

I am buying a 1870’s Victorian bungalow that needs every room chipped; ) I like the mirrors beside the couch and the walls are very dramatic.

Love your room! I’d love to makeover our office/dining room/school room/craft room – yep, 1 room has all of these responsibilities and it needs help!

Just gorgeous! I would love to redo my living room….when I stripped off the wallpaper and painted the last time, I realized I painted it the same color as the wallpaper had been! Real original! Just need some fresh ideas!
Leigh Anne says
Your room turned out lovely! I’d love to win the giveaway to redecorate my little girl’s bedroom!

Wow — that turned out beautiful, very elegant! Well, who couldn’t use that kind of makeover! hmm — so many rooms in my house need some tlc. I think I would use the tool and the gift card to either makeover my bedroom (like so many homes, our master bedroom seems to be “the room of last resort” — just a hodgepodge). Or maybe our “playroom”, which, since our youngest is 15, has become the “room of last resort annex” — maybe it needs to morph into a studio, or exercise room, or office (or all three!).

Beautiful! Love the way the furniture pops against the walls and the use of color in the pillows. We used Greys in our Guest Room and my husband’s Office-and I am loving the new colors…

I really do like how your room turned out. Especially the gray walls. I would redo my office/bedroom. It really does need a makeover!

I love the gray – your room just oozes coziness. 🙂 Would love to redo my dingy den!
