5 Tips for Decorating Your Home Gym

It doesn't matter if your home gym is in the basement or the corner of a room, decorating your home gym needs to be a place that invites you to workout and have fun.

It should make you feel invigorated and dedicated to working out. How you decorate this space can actually help you keep focused on your goal.

Here are 5 tips for decorating your home gym.

Color

color is a big consideration in any decorating scheme, maybe even more so than other rooms of your home. According to color theorists, color effects your emotions and moods. having the wrong color will make your workout boring and can even make you tire  more easily. 

On the other hand, bright colors, if used in excess, can make your eyes tired and lead you to be more fatigued. The best option is to think practical.

One wall or accents painted a bright color contrasted with neutral colors in the rest of the room can be the right combination. 

Type of Exercise

A room used for yoga will need a more tranquil decorating style than a room for dance aerobics where a high energy feel is needed. A room that will be used for multiple types of exercise may require a more neutral theme with very few accessories.

Flooring

Carefully choose your flooring. It will be used as an exercise platform, a noise reducer and impact resistant surface for your heavy machines.

Rubber flooring tiles fits these needs well. It is available in different thicknesses and colors and can be installed quickly and easily.

Stimulation

Add some kind of visual or auditory stimulation in your room. A work out can become boring, especially if you are alone. Provide music that you enjoy and gets you moving to help you stay motivated.

A television is another option. You can watch exercise programs or catch up on the news. Motivational posters keep you stimulated as well.

Consider your needs

Before buying any equipment, consider what types of exercise you will be doing. You may need free weights or a weight machine. You might need resistance bands or a multi-station gym.

You might need a rubber mat for floor exercises or a pull up bar. Just consider your needs before you begin filling your room.

Your home gym needs to be a place that supports your exercise style. Keep your fitness goals in mind when decorating your home gym.
