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’m diggin this “Chip It” Tool by Sherwin Williams! I’d love to make-over our overly-bright white living room! I’ve actually been looking at various grey/charcoals like you used – great look!

Your living room is really beautiful. I keep the chip-it button on my tool bar and use it all the time but not for decorating a room, yet. I will give it a try now. My living room is gold and I’m ready to repaint with something more subdued but still want a color with some punch. I’m thinking your darker shade of grey may be for me, too! Also, I absolutely love the way your family heirlooms and new purchases work together for that wonderful eclectic esthetic, which is also my style of decorating. Lots of inspiration here! Gorgeous!

I am a huge gray fan for a neutral, been using it for years. It is time to do over my living room color scheme, I need to find a light and airy room to use Chipit as there is little natural light in the room.

Absolutely stunning. Love the gray wall color.
You’ve done an amazing job. Are you an interior decorator on the side?
Thanks for the great pictures.

I would love to remodel my living room/ office space.
We have a very small 1 bedroom apt (500 squared feet) and we use our living as on office space as well with two desks.

your room makeover is great! i never would have thought of using that color of grey!! it really looks fabulous.
the chip tool is awesome…..my whole house needs a chip tool..if not,just bulldozed and re-built! but,seriously,if i were to redo a room,it would be the familyroom/den….so that we could all enjoy a well-done space to relax and enjoy each other!(i would re-do my bedroom..but with my grandkids living with me,that would be selfish!).

Your makeover is beautiful!! I’ve been playing with the ChipIt to find the right colors for my new studio (being built in our new storage barn). I was looking for just the right gray for my walls and you found it for me!! My color scheme is dark gray, white, black, deep purple and raspberry pink, with maybe a little turquoise thrown in somewhere, because I love turquoise! Thanks for the inspiration and for all the lovelies from Graphics Fairy.

Wow! It’s *gorgeous*! I love how the antique secretary really “pops” now; it was sort of lost against the wall before. Everything really flows together perfectly.
Congratulations, and enjoy! xoxo
