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.

Oh, your room is just beautiful. I would love a chance to makeover my anything. My whole house is in need of a makeover. Thank you for sharing and the opportunity.

You did a beautiful job! I’d use the Chip It tool for my living room, too. I have some amazing pieces but am still trying to bring the whole look together and it seems Chip It can really help you do that which I learned after reading your post. Thanks for the opportunity!

That is absolutely beautiful! I love how you also used things that you already had…just moved from other spots….I like to do that as well….
Thanks for sharing and for the contest opportunity

I would love to make over my dining room. We just painted our chairs black (they are 1980s oak) and what a difference it made. I’m thinking a gray-green on the walls and red for the accent color. Would love to win your giveaway.

Your living room looks so sophisticated now! I would love to redo my bedroom. Or the hall bathroom.
Chris says
Just stunning! My livingroom is constantly evolving and somehow I’ve never been able to make it exactly what my mind imagines.

So comfy and elegant! I’d love to splash something lovely over every inch of the “builder’s beige” I have now.

Your room is gorgeous. It takes effort to pull off this look with the greys and not all can do so as elegantly as you have! I like our living room with neutral tones but am looking for a color change. But if it means buying new furniture etc to go with the new look, that might be challenging!
