Re: Gray Sectional- What color walls?

  • Brown, tan, khaki, a darker or lighter shade of grey. Pics help.

  • What other colors (furniture, fabric, art and decor) do you have in the room?  What kind of style/feel are going for in the space?

    Go to  Sherwin Williams website and play around with the color visualizer.  You can see the neutrals and see that there are many options.....warm, cool, different color undertones and actual colors too.  Neutral does not have to mean white, beige or gray.

    wow, that is a light grey. i only say wow, b/c i'm used to seeing darker shades of grey sofas on here. i would go w/a slightly darker shade of neutral of whatever shade you gravitate to. personally i wouldn't stay in the true grey family, but would go to a greige (revere pewter or whatever is the next shade darker on the color chip family at BM).

  • There's so many gray-blues, gray-greens, gray-purples out there that you could probably find something that's different enough. We have a medium gray sectional (much darker than yours) and I keep thinking of that popular silvermist color (Sherwin Williams, I think?). Not totally neutral, but definitely can work as a neutral.

  • Gray is pretty neutral, so many colors will look good with it. Our walls downstairs are a very light camel color and there's a gray accent wall above the fireplace and black accents in the room and the colors go together well. We'll get a gray sectional one of these days. Blues, greens, and purples look good with gray or you can paint the walls gray or griege and bring in accent colors in other ways.

  • It's impossible to say without seeing the sofa in person.  Gray is very neutral but there are so many shades of gray and I think you want to make sure you pick something that has the same undertones in the paint.
  • Its much darker in person, more of a Taupey gray in my opinion...

    Thanks for all the recommendations, I never would have thought to mix Gray w/beige but it might just work. 

    Its weird, the sofa is gray but the wood trim on the bottom is "expresso" the darkest brown there is, so the browns may just work
