If you’re stretched for space, create a multifunctional gym space in your home. Contrary to what you may believe, you don’t need to have a dedicated room for your gym at home. You can turn any room into a gym, be that your spare bedroom, office, living room or even your kitchen and you don’t need to change much to do so!

The only limitation is how much gym equipment you can have. If you think cleverly about layout this shouldn’t be a drawback in terms of how good your workout can be! Maybe the space at the bottom of your bed could fit a set of weights? Or maybe you have room on your landing for an exercise bike? Even your garage can be turned into a gym when your car isn’t parked there! Look at your home and think about what works best for you.

Home gym ideas that bring the outdoors in

Bringing the outdoors in has been a popular interior trend over the past year and this means in gyms as well! From snowy mountains to woodland scenes, installing an outdoor themed wallpaper in your home gym is a great way to get the benefits of exercising outdoors when you may not be able to.

Home gym must-haves

Now let’s talk about home gym must-haves. These 3 simple things will get you started with creating a home gym easily!

Mirrors

Bright Mirrored Home Gym ideas

Mirrored walls are a great way to make a small space look a lot larger. Not only that, but they will really brighten up the space, reflecting light off every surface. Having a bright home gym is a must-have if you want to stay motivated and keep your energy levels high.

Clever storage

If like many you’re stuck for space, then you need to think carefully about how you’re going to store your equipment. Having smart storage is crucial for creating a successful workout space. Ideal for home gyms with limited space, choosing raised wall shelves is going to be a great option. These are useful for storing your weights, yoga mats and towels. This will ensure you are completely utilizing every area of the room, without taking away any floor space.

Color

Even colorful gym equipment will ensure your space is inviting and most importantly motivational. If your mood is good, your workout will be even better!

Dedicating a home gym to the theme of my favorite sport definitely sounds like a great source of motivation. I've always loved basketball, so getting in shape to enjoy the sport I love the most would be a great source of inspiration for me to constantly give it my all. Once I have a room decorated like that, I'll pick up some essentials from a gym equipment and goods store for sure.
