Home Gym Décor Ideas

Creating a home gym is about staying fit, sure. But it's also about creating a solitary space that inspires and motivates you to push yourself. But what about the décor? You need a window treatment that provides privacy without sacrificing style. You’ll also want some new flooring and some smart storage solutions – among other things. In this blog, we’ll give you a few tips and tricks to transform your home gym into something more than just a weight room. So, let’s get started.
Flooring
Invest in durable and shock-absorbent flooring to protect your joints and equipment. Rubber flooring tiles or interlocking foam mats are popular choices for home gyms. Not only do they provide cushioning and support during workouts, but they're also easy to clean and maintain. Choose a neutral colour that complements your overall aesthetic and consider adding a pop of colour with a vibrant rug or floor decals.
Motivational Wall Art
Create a feature wall with motivational quotes, fitness mantras, or inspirational images to keep you motivated during your workouts. Whether it's a bold graphic print, framed posters of your favourite athletes, or custom wall decals, incorporating motivational wall art into your home gym décor adds a personal touch and boosts your workouts. Remember to choose artwork that resonates with you and reflects your fitness goals, and don't be afraid to get creative with DIY projects or custom prints to make your home gym truly unique.
Smart Storage Solutions
Maximise space and minimise clutter with smart storage solutions for a quick and practical home gym décor idea. Install wall-mounted shelves or floating shelves to store workout accessories, towels, and water bottles within easy reach. Use baskets, bins, or storage ottomans to stow away resistance bands, yoga mats, and other equipment you’re not using.
It might be worth investing in multi-functional furniture pieces like a storage bench or a foldable workout bench that can double as seating or storage space. Keeping your gym space ordered and tidy will boost the overall aesthetic with the added bonus of promoting a more efficient and enjoyable workout experience.
The Perfect Home Gym Window Treatment
Privacy is paramount when you're working out. You surely don’t want the neighbours peering in and seeing you at your sweatiest! Luckily, shutters offer excellent control over who can see into your space. Whether you're sweating it out on the treadmill or powering through a strength session, shutters ensure your workout remains your own private time.
But privacy isn't the only benefit. Shutters also reduce noise, making it easier to focus on your workout, especially if your home gym is near a busy street. Plus, with our waterproof shutters, you don't have to worry about moisture from sweat or humidity damaging your window treatments.
And because shutters are fitted to your windows and sit flush to the walls when opened, they’re an excellent small home gym decorating idea.
Finding Your Shutter Style
No matter your style or unique needs, we’ve got the shutters to suit. Here’s a quick overview of our different shutter styles.
Full-Height Shutters: For total coverage and maximum privacy, full-height shutters are the go-to choice. They cover the entire window and offer a seamless look, creating a clean and uncluttered atmosphere. With their sleek design, full-height shutters are perfect for modern home gyms.
Café Style Shutters: If your home gym has ground-floor, street-facing windows, café style shutters are your best bet. They cover the lower portion of the window only, giving you the perfect balance of privacy and natural light. That way, you can work out in peace without feeling boxed in.
Tier-on-Tier Shutters: Looking for the best of both worlds? Tier-on-tier shutters provide the ultimate in flexibility. Also known as double-hung shutters, they have top and bottom sections that open independently, allowing for varying levels of light and privacy.
