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 would love to make over my master bed room andour dinning room. We have not redone our room, we started with our kids room first. Love your redo.white undertones are my favorite!!

I have many rooms I will be “making” over….from the beginning. We are building a sweet little tiny country cottage/cabin on 10 acres in the Oklahoma countryside. I’m going for a fresh, white and wood theme with some touches of crimson and maybe some earthy green. I’m a bit nervous, yet excited, about the process!

Love it. I live in an old cape cod. You know those nasty angled ceilings on the second floor?UGH! The colors you used are exactly what has been going through my head for 2 years for my bedroom. Definately going to chip it and redo the room now! Thanks!

You did a great job. I need help with my dining room! When I started stripping the wallpaper, it ended up being glued directly on the wallboard..and all the estimates I’ve gotten to fix it are outrageous. My vision of it has the walls fixed..a lovely fern green…a cut through to the kitchen…and the other wall covered with bookcases. Oh, and a French door. Forgot that.:)

I would never have thought of grey but that is beautiful. My bedroom is not at all a relaxing room. I don’t feel like it’s my sanctuary and I think a bedroom should feel like that. That grey would be awesome!!!

Beautiful! Never thought these words we come from my mouth but “it makes me want to go gray”
I have a living room that is currently painted brown bag color. I have a new chocolate couch which I love but can’t seem to pick out paint to really set it off. I would like something to lighten it up it seems soo dark.
thank you for this link.:)

Pick me! Pick me! My family just bought a Maine summer cottage in Five Islands, Maine that is in need of a lot of TLC. The place was built by a sea captain in 1900 but the previous owners rented it to horrible tenants. We were hoping we could decorate this year but have so many other dire projects on the list that it may need to wait on another year or two. id love to do a tan striped wall in the living room area! The 1,000 makeover would be a wonderful. Than you for the wonderful sweepstakes!

I would love to make over my family room. It’s boring and hard to find a color that will go with the brick fireplace….or should I paint that too. Hmmm.
Sonja says
