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 just saw your room. It’s beautiful and I want to move in with you. When we were buying our house, I had them paint the outside gray. It really stood out from all the green and beige houses.
Bravo, Karen!

Your room is A-MAZING!!! I love it! If I could re-do a room it would be my living/dining room. We still have a lot of the same stuff we had when we got married 7 years ago (including the paint on the walls). I’ve been itching to do it, and I’ve tackled small projects but keeping things on a small budget usually means more time, and with three small kids, I just don’t have the time to do it. Thanks for sharing your inspiring makeover!!! Congrats to whoever wins your giveaway 🙂

Your newly painted living room and decor are gorgeous! Great job!! I just love the new Chip It program…used it and FB’d about it just yesterday after I saw it!
I’d love to paint and update our kitchen. It’s mostly white and pretty blah.
Again, great job on your living room make over!
