This is almost exactly the same color we have on our walls. I have tried, and feel like I failed, to make our place feel an air of sophistication with this color. It just felt too "beach-y" or something. Granted, the living room was never fully decorated (but it will be soon, hopefully!) I guess I just needed a few chic accessories to complete the look.

At this point, I am not backing down though. I am hoping this weekend I'll have some time to stop at the paint store and pick up some samples of a more neutral color. One of the colors in the running is BM's Edgecomb Gray, as seen here:
I also liked BM's Annapolis Gray, also seen in Lonny:

Oh how I'm loving that globe light in the first picture. Stunning!!
I think the rule of thumb with a dark room is to keep the palette light and fresh. How about a very light chamapgne looking color or a beige? Both are neutral and would go beautifully with your decor.
Andrea, I'm definitely starting to think a beige-y color is the way to go. Thanks for your advice! We'll see what I end up with.
I love your current wall color, but neutrals make changing your room's look so easy. I know designers are always advising against "boring beige" but a neutral never goes out of style and is easy to work with. I like the gray you are considering.
i don't think you can go wrong....all your inspiration is gorgeous!
