Can you post some pictures so we can see exactly what you're working with?

That's your color scheme. Cool blue, gray, and warm wood tones. A very pale blue/gray in the carpet or carpet pattern will bring out any warm tones in the floor. Cool charcoal gray accents as opposed to black. Caramel and cream. Natural and medium woods and baskets.

Hopefully you can glean some ideas from these inspo pix similiar to my ideas:

I would probably go warm/neutral with your furniture as grey is waning in popularity. Unless you love gray, then go for it.

You can use patterns and accessories with combinations of gray and tan to help tie together your gray floors and your warm elements. Rugs, pillows, vases, art, etc.

Yes gray is waning so no drab gray furniture, I agree. But blue/gray and charcoal are ascending big time. But with gray floors? A touch of gray that complements the floor is needed somewhere.

That is why I said "You can use patterns and accessories with combinations of gray and tan to help tie together your gray floors and your warm elements"

Sorry about that @deegw, yes I just saw that -- we are on the same page.

IMO gray is what I love and no way in h--l will I go beige anytime . I do agree your color scheme is nice and wood tones IMO are what wrm up the gray tones but until the OP comes back all we do is guess.

Thank you tracefloyd, and deegw. You both have been very helpful. That’s exactly what my problem has been, trying to figure out how to blend the grey flooring with everything else without getting grey furniture since,as you mention grey is going out.

The grey floor was already here when I moved in. I don't like it at all , but I’ll have to live with it , at least for a while since I have to get other things.

That’s the reason why I got a brown dining room table [maybe walnut I’m not sure} that has a little warm to it. But since my living room and dining area are together , meaning one in front of the other in an open space ,the color palette has to blend some how.

So , I want to pick a color for the living room chairs that would look good with two fabric chairs at the end of the dining table, I don't have those yet. But I’m not sure how much the coffee table , end tables, dining room chairs and buffet or console in the dinning area need to match with each other and with the grey floor.

Thanks for your suggestions and the photos you posted .

Sorry ,Patricia . I just notice you said you like grey . Hope I didn’t offended you. I like grey in other things and other places, but my room faces WN light making everything in there look cooler and darker . I’ll love to have the place looking warmer and cozy. That’s why I’m trying to add some warm items to the place.

Gray, dark blue-gray, warm brown, can all look different to diff people. (and the tones/hues can be a hundred diff shades)

If you want specific help you will have to post pictures. OTherwise, we're just throwing darts at a board.

I'm so glad.

i'm stumped though. My inspiration rooms posted above were chosen specifically to work with your gray floors and your pieces as you described. All the furniture pieces, art pieces, the wall colors, fabications, carpets...everything pretty much. I think so.

Paint color is chosen once you have your decor in...ties it all together.

Tracefloyd ,

The inspirational rooms you posted gave me some very good ideas , specially the one with the grey floor ,dark blue sofa, and the stripe chairs by the fired place. Some of the other photos show a warmer or neutral flooring with much lighter blue furniture than mine. But I was still able to noticed the used of the grey , black , and warm accessories. My inclination is to find a color that I like and that goes well with the sofa or the living room chairs and used it as an assccent color. I don‘t think I would have thought of using grey or tan, as it shows in some of the photos and as you and deegw sugested, to tie it all together. Now I just need to figured out how to implement this things in my own living space. Thanks again!

Kandreuspa ,and Beth H .

I was trying to post some pictures but wasn’t able to do it . Either there is a problem with my ipad or maybe I wasn‘t doing it the right way . So I gave up. But thanks for your interest in helping .

When you upload a photo you have to wait for that picture to fully clarify on your screen before you click on "submit".

If you don’t like your gray flooring, start with an area rug in colors that you do like. If the rugs have a little bit of gray in them, but a lot of blue and some brown, and maybe another accent color, you have a color scheme to get you started.
