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.

My great room needs some help! I just bought a new couch but that’s it so far. Great giveaway!
Tammy says
Lovely room! My whole apartment needs a makeover however we are hoping to buy a house this year so new paint would be a great gift!

Your room looks amazing! You really pieced everything together well. Actually, we are remodeling a tiny little cottage for my husband and I to live in right now! It is very small, but also adorable and will have some amazing pieces (claw-foot shower pan anyone?). So if I won I would put it towards all those extra little things that sometimes have to be given up because of other expenses.
Katie says
Great job! I think the grey is beautiful, and with that pop of color, wow! I would love to re-do our office workspace, but really any area will do. Thanks for sharing with us!
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
Very elegant, Karen!
Barb Adams says
I am itching for my husband to go out of town so I can redo his “man hut” — it’s not quite cave status yet!

My husband’s office is a 30 yr old shade of dark green. “Makeover” doesn’t even begin to explain what needs doing in there!
Kelli Fichtner says
I LOVE the gray! Although my entire house needs a re-do, I’d settle for starting in the living room.
L. says
fabulous! i’ll soon be moving into my new studio & out of our library…so, the library will be a blank canvas…ready for a new face!
Apple Dee says
The gray worked wonderfully! I’d love to make over my kitchen or bath. Both are terribly outdated.

I love that color! Your sofa looks awesome against it! I would redo my son’s bedroom….it needs it badly, as does the entire house but you gotta start somewhere right 🙂
AyOhKayla says
I’d love to use chip it and the money in my craft room. I need some color and some serious organizing! It always seems like momma’s space is the last one on the list.
SheilaG @ Plum Doodles says
My kitchen needs a definite makeover, no wall space so paint colors would be a big part of freshening the space.
