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 love all of the bold color choices and still it looks neutral. THAT is what I want at my house!! Which room?? um, ANY of them….the bedroom as that always seems to be the most lacking since no one sees it but the family…the living room since it is the MOST visible?! I can’t decide. Let me win and I WILL Decide!!! 😉
Your reveal is gorgeous! Thumbs UP!

oooo, I would love to get my living room done. I have a purple sofa in mind and am trying to come up with accents. That tool would be just the trick!

Our living room in in SAD SAD shape. If it were a reality TV star, it would be Tila Tequila…one hot mess! We are a military family, so in the last move our couch got beat up pretty badly; and then we had a baby who is now a toddler. The poor couch just does not stand a chance now! We could use a more kid friendly, durable couch! ha!
Charlotte Joyner says
Omg…. I would have never thought grey would be so pretty
I now want to use this in my bedroom which is quite stark as
We just moved into a “new” house!!! Can’t wait to paint now
Beautiful!
