White Sofas Are Fine, but Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Prove a Gray Sectional Is a Wiser Investment – It’s Effortlessly Lived-In

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.

In recent years, gray has become one of the most polarizing choices in design. We often routinely dismiss 'millennial gray' as lifeless and overly clinical, and critics often urge us to trade slate tones for warmer alabaster and creamy neutrals. However, despite claims that the shade has lost its luster, gray remains an irreplaceable cornerstone of a modern living room – when done right.

The secret isn't shying away from the color, but knowing how to bring it out in a good light. Case in point: Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' living room. Rather than feeling stark or sterile, Brittany and Patrick rely on a gray sectional to anchor their open-concept space with cozy, lived-in warmth. To channel their look, I love this similar sectional from Wayfair. It's upholstered in (almost) the same hue, and the silhouette is a great match.
