We spend more time in rooms we enjoy being in, even the gym. Sometimes the home gym gets neglected. It becomes dull and drab, and even the thought of going to workout gives us no thrill. Finding simple ways to spruce up your workout space can give it a little life and become an area that you can appreciate while exercising! Check out some home gym ideas below!
Home Gym Ideas
The Elements of a Well Designed Room
Think about decorating your home gym the same way you would approach any other room: color palette, texture, art, lighting. All those elements may seem unnecessary for a gym, but can effect your mood or workout for the day. If done intentionally, we believe that your home gym can become a place you look forward to being in!
The Mood
When you come to work out each day, how do you want the room to motivate you? Consider what kind of feeling you want when you enter the gym. If you’re into yoga, maybe you want a more peaceful and serene setting where you can meditate and stretch. More into cardio and HITT workouts? You might want to go with something more bright and clean to give you that burst of energy you need to pep up your workout. Going bolder and having a more masculine style can give you that edge for you aggressive weight lifting session. If you like to do a little bit of everything, find a style that makes you look forward (as much as possible) to hit the gym!
The great thing about having a home gym is that you don’t have to workout in a cookie cutter styled gym. Instead, you get to be in a space that is customized to you. So why not make it a place that is fun and reflects your personality? This room can flow with the rest of your home, but also allows you the opportunity to try something a little unexpected.
Organization
Like to keep things organized? Find unique containers that fit your theme to store your equipment. Peg boards or shelves can be a great way to organize and display your bands, jump ropes, and balls with easy access. A textured basket or bin can hold your smaller items while also bringing texture and warmth to the room.
Art & Wall Hangings
Adding art can make the walls come alive as well as warm up the space. Depending on what kind of style you choose, the piece can change the mood of the whole room! It is a great way to add color to bare walls and set the tone to your workout area.
Function and style can work together, add large mirrors to make sure your form is correct when working out, while also making your space feel finished.
Mood Board
We make mood boards for pretty much everything around here, it’s the best way to see how all of the pieces work together. We love how all of the neutrals and textures create a calm space for doing yoga, but the room also feels interesting and complete.
For this mood board we went heavy on the leather, which makes for a masculine vibe great for lifting.
Home gyms don’t require a lot of pieces, so we make sure every piece we select has a lot of impact on the room. If you’d like to create a home gym you enjoy being in, we’d love to help! Contact us to schedule a call!
