Gray is a popular choice for living rooms for many reasons, including its huge versatility. Cool tones can work beautifully in smaller spaces and darker charcoals create an effortlessly stylish look. So whether you favour a minimalist aesthetic or are after something with a bit of flair and drama, gray is the color you can rely on to give you the desired effect.
We have brought together some of our favourite shades of gray, featuring both paints and wallpaper, so you can start creating your dream gray living room.
Our favourite gray living room paints
Gray paint can form the perfect neutral base when it comes to decorating your living room. Use these paints on all four walls, or use the darker shades to create a feature wall.
ANASTASIA
Anastasia is a truly classic shade of gray. Pale and delicate, it makes for a stylishly subtle backdrop in any living room. Pair with dark gray, white and black furnishings to create a distinctive monochrome look, or introduce pops of color with brighter cushions, curtains and plants.
DULCE
Dulce’s warm undertones make it a very livable and comfortable shade of gray, ideal for busy living rooms. It is slightly darker than Anastasia, but not so dark that it would be overwhelming on all four walls. It is great for helping to create a cosy atmosphere, perfect for larger spaces.
GATSBY
If it’s love for a 1920’s aesthetic that has drawn you to gray decor, you can’t go wrong with Gatsby. This cool gray is inspired by the era’s statement glamour and makes for a beautifully chic backdrop in any living room.
HYGGE
Hygge is all about comfort, cosiness and contentment, which is why this shade features soft yellow pigments, making it a warmer shade than some of the other paints on this list. There’s no room better suited to Hygge than the living room. Pair with soft furnishings, or use it to emphasise a cottagecore aesthetic.
GUNMETAL GRAY
This iconic, deep shade of gray is perfect for creating a statement. Dark and rich with a neutral base, Gunmetal sits beautifully on all four walls when paired with light furnishings. Or, use it to create a feature wall with different shades - such as Anastasia - for contrast.
ETHOS
Ethos is another deep gray but this time with blue undertones. This complex color truly catches the eye, making it a great choice for a feature wall. Timeless and classic, it will elevate any living room.
Our favourite gray living room wallpapers
One way to make your gray living room really pop is by using wallpapers. A lot of these wallpapers pair beautifully with the paints suggested above, or you can paste them across all four walls.
AERIS GRAY & YELLOW
Add a touch of color amongst the gray with Aeris Gray & Yellow, featuring a light gray background with simple yellow and white florals. This wallpaper can make for a sweet and sophisticated feature wall but its contemporary design also works well on all four walls.
