I'd say you made a good choice.

the sofa has arrived. now for paint color---area rug and the question of 2 ottomans opposite the chaise to even out the balance. advice???

I would do neutral ottomans not teal..a soft ivory linen would be beautiful! That way if you ever want to change up your pillows you don't have to worry about those teal ottomans..also with your wall of beautiful white shutters behind the sofa it will balance things out with the neutral ottomans.

Nice also one of my go to colors is drift of mist by SW

Thanks. Even though my sofa is gray u would pick off white?? 2 side by side??

Yes it would be beautiful

this room is much more Glam in style but the colors are the same..the light stools add a sophistication to the space.

The color of the granite will complement green shades so if you like a lighter gray I would suggest Drift of Mist by SW OR Crushed Ice. Both very light with a hint of green depending on the light color temp in your home. They work best with a 4000 LED, if you use a 3000 LED the Drift of mist will go warmer. Also Anew Gray by SWilliams is also good for a warmer tone. But when working with grays lighting is sooooooo important. And all lights in the space need to be the same color temp.

If you like Drift of Mist, Eider white is a good trim color. I would do ceiling same as wall and if you like crushed ice I would trim with Extra White all by SW

I think the white ottomans would be a good choice or black no colors

thank u for all the good info. color of area rug??? i want to stay seaside comfy--i was thinking of jute. would a deeper gray tinged jute work? do u agrer with a chair rather than 2 ottomans??

Two soft white ottomans and a natural colored Jute rug is best that is how you get that seaside feel adding very organic items...and textures

Almost there----now to pick a chair. i was going with ottomans but a comfy chair better??? im the coastal look girl. should i puck a gray/white stripe??? it'll be back to wall color next!!

what about having back and seat cushions made in a gray/white stripe for this??

For a more beach feel rather than transitional I would add a white slipcovered chair with a wicker side table...or add two white slipcovers ottomans....add some neutral pillows onto your sofa to lighten up the color palette....think light and airy.....add a big white shell on the coffee table with a couple candle glass holders with rope handles...

sounds wonderful. i founs smooth stone for a light paint color--thats next.

im back still looking for paint. i bought a balboa paint swatch and it looks light and greige. agree??

I had the paint deck for a while but concluded Balboa Mist looked too warm and pinky.

How about a sample of Perfect Greige? I went with Mega Greige but wish I would have gone with Perfect Greige.

I'll check it out---thanks

If you want light and more beach feel or style..go light with Alabaster White or BM Baby fawn

Pretty room! Following... :-)

i think my dilemma is the fact that my home faces west. all the windows have shutters which is essential here in the west. so we get reflected light all the time.

@crimson525 I just painted the walls in our open concept Balboa Mist - it is perfection. Not gray, not beige; warm, but cool. Attaching a picture in front of the one southern window, but we mainly have northern exposure.

thanks for your beautiful picture. helps alot

balboa mist

hopefully it wont look pinkish

Look at SW Worldly gray too if you still haven't made a decision..my entire home is Worldly gray and it it light and neutral goes with everything.

thanks--ill get a sample today. so confusing

I love the look of your sectional and rug! They look great! Good luck with the paint!! But stay in the warm tones with your flooring and stone.

thank u. yes, i totally agree--warm is an absolute. might get realistic beige mixed at 50% and check out other colors recommended

I feel your pain. It is confusing—light grey/beige colors are some of the hardest colors to select besides white because they are influenced so much by their ambient surroundings. You are doing the right thing to test them all out in your own space. What looks great in someone else's home is certainly worth a try, but you have to try it for yourself to know if it will work in your space. Keep trying! I'm sure certain colors will start to eliminate themselves from consideration, and then you will have a choice between 2-3 colors, all of which could work. Hang in there!

thanks for your words. so true--- i need a greige with a good LRV. and it's going through out the LR--DR--KITCHEN and corridor. little by little. my problem is that im so picky and anal. (:

Hey, that is how one creates a home they never want to leave!! And no on else will either?? Lol.. This is a great space to enjoy with different themes. Love your couch chaise...looks so inviting.

well-------here's Balboa Mist. i started to paint what i could reach. then comes the painter

That looks great in the photos! How are you liking it?

Are you still trying for a beach style?

rustic cottage

My neighbor has Realist Beige in her bedroom and it’s beautiful. I’m torn between Shiitake, Accessible Beige and Realist Beige. I like Collanade gray too but prefer a cool beige rather than a warm gray. I’ve had 10 samples on my wall. My kitchen has similar granite with brown the dominant color and we have dark oak cabinets. Dark gray couch.
