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 a makeover in my bathroom because, unfortunately I can’t crochet, tatt, paint or sew a new bath

I know I’m too late for the drawing but I just wanted to say I love the living room makeover. I adore the gray tufted chairs. I’m a furniture upholsterer so it’s the first thing I notice. Also, love the horse graphic. I want to make that.

I live in an old farmhouse in the Scottish Highlands, my makeover would need to include rich, warm colours to bring a feel of cozy and warm on cold winter night’s. We are just beginning our journey toward being as self sufficient as we possibly can and to reuse, recycle and be as Earth friendly as we can on our now, very depleted budget. I love your colour scheme, not just for the beauty and effect, but for the glorious names of the paints and all they conjour up when said aloud. I particularly like the wooden staircase against the cold, yet warm too, grey. Miminalist, which I usually dislike, yet homely and modern at the same time. Love the pops of colour. bet you love spending time in your home. Thanks for sharing.

The makeover turned out great, the grey is very warm and cozy.
I would love to make the living room over, as it’s the room most lived in and needs some TLC.
THANKS for the opportunity to win such an awesome giveaway! xxoo

I would redo our living room. I would love to paint it and get a new couch or love seat, and a new decor. Your room is beautiful and I would love to have the exact same living room in our house!
