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 have a kitchen with painted cream colored cabinets that opens into a small dining area and TV watching area. I’m struggling with finding a color that looks good in all the areas. Think I may need to paint the cabinets white, because lately I love all things blue and the deep cream on the cabinets just doesn’t look great with any of the blues I select.

Oh my goodness, I think I would begin working (again) on my bedroom. After almost a decade of the same walls, I’m ready for a change.
Thanks for the chance,

Wonderful makeover!!! Love those pops of red!
I would chip my dining room! Took the wallpaper off ages ago and still need to paint!
colleen says
Wow! That is beautiful. I’m thinking your husband doesn’t make a beeline for the sofa and take off his muddy boots in that room! :] I would love to paint/decorate our bedroom using colors from an old quilt my mother gave me. I’m leaning to a soft coral, but I’ll see what palette CHIP IT produces!

Love the gray! My living room is red too and I’m ready for a change. It’s been the same for 15 years! The fabric on my sofa and two chairs is faded and has a few minor tears. My master needs help too! Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow! That came out gorgeous! I just bought a house and almost the entire thing is white inside (with the exception of a lavendar bedroom). EVERY room needs color (I like color and lots of it!) I think I’ll start with the family room, which is going to be the colors of sea glass. Can’t wait!
