The photo above seems to be more greige than actual gray. I dislike greige, so would be searching the paint samples for a paint that would be a true gray in my room. Be aware that gray is a tricky paint. What looks gray in one house, may look, purplish, greenish, or bluish in someone elses house. The same paint can look different in different rooms in the same house too. I have a perfect gray in a bathroom. I painted the same color in my living room and I hated it. It was green in there. I repainted with another gray, and ended up with purple tones. Finally found a Valspar gray called Cityscape that is gray in my living room. What I am trying to say, is that the rooms lighting has a lot to do with how gray looks in your room. Dont paint your samples on your walls. Either use a piece of sheetrock, that you can pick up at the home center, or poster paper and paint on that. Move the sample boards around on different walls, at different times of day, until you get one, that works in your room.

You may want to think again whether gray would be the best choice. It's been overused to death and is going out of style. It was a long-lasting trend but is pretty well over now. What you have now looks beautiful, and in fact at first I thought your room was a photo from a magazine. With your almost no-color style gray may make this room look drab, but of course the choice is yours.

@Jan - Awesome idea to start with the rug first. Do you think the two sides of the room should have different color rugs? I also have this space that I need to buy a rug but i'm thinking perhaps 3 different rugs is probably too much.. I have the living room, fireplace area and piano area on the same floor but cleverly dividied in 3 parts ..

@cat_ky - Great advise. I'll try that out.. With the sheetrock

@ ingrid_vc - Thank you for the advise. The only thing is i've had my walls brown for 5 years and now im just over it and need a drastic amazing look. If not that light grey what do you think about this type?

I agree with much of what has been said. Even if you knew the exact paint color in your inspiration pic, it could look completely different in your space/light. And, since there are about a billion shades of gray paint, and many fewer options for rugs and curtains, choose the rugs and curtains first.

How close do you want the rug and curtains to be to your inspiration pic? I think it will be easier to find a close match for the rug than the curtains, so if you really want the curtains to look just like that, I'd start there. Even if all you want is tone-on-tone gray stripes, you may have trouble finding what you want without going custom.

While gray is having its moment, I think it would look nice in your space and wouldn't necessarily reject it just because a lot of other people are doing it.

For the three rugs, you could do two the same and the third in a coordinating solid. If you put the solid in the middle, the other two could be different but with coordinating colors/patterns. I wouldn't try to do three different patterns in the different spaces (that isn't to say that someone with a better eye couldn't do it, but I know that if I tried it would look awful).

@Cawaps - I have alot of natural daylight so I prefer more a silver look like the photos but my lights in the evening are yellow so for sure the look will be different although I dont mind it. What I mind is the daytime look and that kinda scares me as grey is indeed tricky..

I think what would be a challenge for me would have to be the rug.. Curtains isnt that much of a big deal as i can opt different designs but a rug, yeah, that will be something..

I did think 3 rugs same type would be too monotonous so i'll need to be careful with that. The only thing i'm not certain is the color for the 3rd different option. Thanks for the advise..

You actually can have three different rugs. They just have to be compatible in color and style. Here is what I did in my living areas:

I've also mixed different styles because I love eclectic interiors but that's just a matter of personal taste. Not everyone wants to go that wild. The common thread that (hopefully) ties it all together is the color red and to some extent also blue.

@Ingrid - Yeah, we definitely have different taste. Your style is too much for me LOL. But thank you for your input, I appreciate it. :)

@cawaps - From all the photos the first one is more what i like. Thanks so much for sending them through. I appreciate it.
