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.

WOW!!! This room looks AMAZING!!! And talk about a generous giveaway!!! We are moving into a new house in about 3 weeks…and I am getting ready to do a lot of make-overs in that house, but I would probably start with either my daughters room, or the living room…or just start with the priorities and do the craft room! Decisions, decisions! Thanks for the peek into your space – and the amazing giveaway!!!

Our master bedroom could use a re-do! Your room looks wonderful – I love that grey color.
Danielle says
The main room of my somewhat open floor plan is awkward! Not only could I put the gift cards to good use, but I could also use help decorating it!
Vickie @ Ranger 911 says
Wow!!! Your room is gorgeous. I don’t know if chip it could help my dated living room, but I’d love to give it a try. I’ve had my navy furniture since 1990 and went from one old house with a yellow living room to our current house with a yellowy gold living room and I’m tired of it!!!

I finally have an office … I’d use it there!

I am a perpetual painter. I love the new energy painting and redecorating brings forth. I am really loving all the grays being shown so I would like to redo my living room with that as my inspiration. Thanks! ~ janice harleybabe1007@yahoo

I’d love to do my kitchen, my living room, my dining room and my bedroom. The kids’ rooms have just been done, but the main areas of the house are rather sad.
Diana says
I love gray rooms! I would use the chip-it tool to work on a new color for my bathroom or living rooom.
Jeanette says
The grey is lovely. I so need to paint our guest room. It is the original builder beige and needs a facelift.
Hope Filled Living says
So pretty, Karen! I love the grey. We chose a color similar to that for our sons room several years back and he never gets tired of it. He is buying his first home and plans to do the living room that color because he likes it so much.
Very, very pretty!

How wonderful to have a tool like “chip it” to see what your room would look like before you did it. The result is lovely. (It’s so much better than the tiny paint chip you get in the store. Wonderful post, beautiful home, and great photos. Thanks so much.

My kitchen needs a paint job. The trouble is I have multi-color granite counters that are going to stay and they need to be matched. I cannot bring them to the store obviously so this tool might just be the way to figure out cabinet and tile colors I need. I am going to take a picture of the room and see what happens
