Kentucky designer Bethany Adams is a fan of bold color. For this cozy living room, she went with wall-to-wall Gentleman's Gray.

Waterloo by Sherwin-Williams is an all-time favorite color for Austin-based designer Laura Williams.

"It's moody, but in the right natural light can feel uplifting and bright," Williams says, like in this luxe dining room.
