Home Gym Room Ideas

From motivational quotes to vibrant imagery, your workout wall art should pop. Choose a piece that feels personal, and puts a smile on your face. Whether you want to add vibrant colors, or you want to keep your space airy and simple, it’s up to you! If your workout area is in a shared space, a bold piece of wall art is the perfect way to add a sense of separation. Even if you don’t have an entire room dedicated to your gym, you can make it feel like its own space.

Home Gym Décor: Pro Tips

ElephantStock's interior design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz explains the importance of blending practicality with modern style:

“Form and functionality shouldn’t be regarded as two separate concepts when designing. Keep accessories simple, few, and well-chosen. Highlight wide, open spaces without visual obstacles.”

Deciding on the right canvas size can be tricky, which is why we’ve put together these tips for calculating the best dimensions for your space:

Your wall art should take about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.

When in doubt, go big! Follow this expert advice on opting for a sizable canvas:

“Sometimes bigger really is better, and that rings true when it comes to large wall art! While you may not want a print to overwhelm your space, homeowners tend to pick pieces that are too small. For example, if you’re hanging a piece of art above a weight rack, the canvas should be almost as wide as the piece of furniture itself! A print that is too small can look awkward and misplaced. Whereas a well-proportioned piece of large wall art can transform your space in seconds.”

Gym Wall Design Styles

Consider the aesthetic of the rest of your interior when choosing a print for your gym. If your home is modern and contemporary, opt for a minimalistic print. For a more traditional space, go for a photorealistic piece. The goal is to tie together your home gym with your surrounding décor. One room should flow seamlessly into the next. This is especially important if your workout area is not in an isolated space.

Top Workout Color Schemes

There are a wide range of color schemes to consider when designing your space. The first option is to stick with neutrals for a contemporary look. The second option is to go wild with bright, uplifting colors! Our personal preference is to start with a neutral base and add a pop of color for visual dimension. It’s the best of both worlds!

Black & Cyan Gym Ideas

Try starting with a grey or black base and adding a shade like cyan or sky blue. Décor pro Elimar Lobo Sáenz seconds the blue décor trend:

“When we think of summer, bright blue skies come to mind. This is why interior designers voted blue as one of the top summer interior design trends for 2021. An accent wall, using richer blues or incorporating lighter blue linens and décor will give to your space that “Santorini” vibe. If you’re a minimalist at heart, pops of bright cobalt blues can bring a bit of vibrancy to your room. Incorporate this sunny hue into your decor as a constant reminder of clear skies and the sun on your skin.”
