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 re-paint my kitchen and my living room. There is a lot of natural light and it is difficult to find the right color that brings the two rooms together. Chip It looks awesome!

I moved from my home to a small mobile home when my husband became ill. I have lived here 2 years and he recently passed away. I would love to incorporate some of these cool looks into my home and make it truly a place I want to come home to. I know I could do that if I could just win this great give away. I would do my living and dining/kitchen area since they are basically one big room. I could paint my dining furniture, my cabinets and my walls, how great would that be. Love what you have done and thanks for letting me enter. [email protected]

I love your living room. Grey is such a nice change of pace. We just bought a cottage in our historic district. It is a complete fixer, so the next 6 months will be exciting. Would love the prizes, but will use the chip tool to get started.

I have wanted to do over my bedroom in purple, but that grey is so beautiful I might change my mind and go with a pretty shade of grey.

Love your room, I think I would make over my dinning room, lots of ideas, need to come up with a plan
Stef says
My whole house is blah beige. Great for an overall neutral when we moved in, but a bit more than boring now. I’d really love to make over my master bedroom – this girl needs a little retreat!! Thanks for the chance!

Love the color palette you chose! The gray and oranges is stunning! I need to redo my hallway…a challenge because it wanders though the whole house, upstairs and down, with no real breaks…so that’s a lot of whatever color is chosen. But I don’t want to do a boring old beige.
