10 Gorgeous Gray Living Rooms That Are the Definition of Chic

From a modern New York City loft to a cool Southern lake house, designers know that decorating with gray is anything but drab. In fact, you'll want to paint your entire house with this neutral after seeing these stylish takes.

BJÖRN WALLANDER
Monochromatic Paint
Since the entire interior of the Charleston rental was painted in Sherwin-Williams' Pussy Willow, the space takes on a cozy vibe, which makes this fireside table the perfect spot to curl up with a book.

Ashy Walls
A Verellen sectional in linen velour anchors a Maryland family room, but it's the faux-finished walls that look like they're made out of concrete that steal the show.

PAUL RAESIDE
Complimentary Colors
In the sitting room of a Canadian townhouse, red leather nailhead trimming (from Samuel & Sons) looks like wall paneling and adds drama to the mostly-neutral space. The antique Gustavian sofa is upholstered in vintage raw silk for a rich look.

Annie Schlechter
Nearly White
In a feminine townhouse, CB2 sofas in Kravet's Bacio and curtains in a Dedar fabric ground delicate pink accents like a Kate Spade New York table lamp from Visual Comfort. Soft gray couches anchor the mostly-white room.

Francois Dischinger 
Modern Living
Interior designer Steven Sclaroff makes a wide-open New York loft feel like home by using a palette that feels cozy. That includes painting the walls deep, rich grays and pairing them with camel curtains in Coraggio cashmere.

FRANCESCO LAGNESE
Soft and Subtle
In order to make the large, open rooms of a northern California house more livable, designer Myra Hoefer's idea was to choose a white, monochromatic palette and mix in lots of gray furnishings and texture. The result? An effortless blend of West Coast ease and French elegance.

Living Room Accented with Patterned Fabrics
To break up the monotony of the color gray in the living room of this Brookville, New York, home, interior designer Andrew Raquet used silver, gold and lots of pattern. The custom silk rug is from Tai Ping Carpets and makes a statement in the room.

Mikkel Vang
Casual and Crisp
Designer Susan Ferrier of McAlpine Booth & Ferrier Interiors wanted the Alabama lake house to have a space that felt crisp, clean and young, the designer says. At the other end of the space, the dining area features a mammoth live-edge Provençal table.

Thomas Loof
Neutral Gray Living Room
Designer Susan Ferrier decorated this New York City apartment with a neutral color palette. In the living room, gray creates a sensual mood through the use of light and dark layers. There's a cabinet-of-curiosities aspect to the furnishings, starting with an iron-and-glass coffee table made by an unknown artist and found in France. 

Mikkel Vang
Blue-Gray Living Room
Gray serves as the accent for a blue color palette in this Los Angeles home, decorated by designer Kristen Panitch. In the living room she chose a tweedy gray sofa and a silvery-gray wallpaper as background for a huge Los Carpinteros painting. "The painting would have overpowered the room if I hadn't used colors from the other end of the blue spectrum," designer Kristen Panitch says.
