Looking for Wallpaper Suggestions for Home Gym

6 years ago

So I finally got around to turning a basement bedroom into a small home gym.

But as you can see it's pretty drab and dull, and that back wall is just calling out for wallpaper.

Looking for suggestions on what we can do to add inspiration to this space - so that we will WANT to get on that bike and treadmill on a regular basis! We want to walk in there and feel instantly happy and motivated.

Regarding the wallpaper, the peel-and-stick kind is preferred, just in case we tire of it long term.

And btw, the adjacent room is a teen lounge area - with a dark olive sectional... It may eventually have gold lamps, funky side tables and blush accents, but we haven't finished that project yet so right now the sky is the limit for the gym and we can play off of any colours for that teen space nearby.

Thanks in advance for any ideas to jazz up this gym!!! :)

Is it in a basement space? If so I might be inclined to make the whole room look like a nature trail.

I think that some nature inspired Peel-and-Stick would be great (forest, beach, mountains, favorite city). Since your ceiling appear to be not very tall, and windows are on a small side, I would recommend choosing lighter color scheme. Try to find a pattern/theme that visually extends the ceiling height.

Since it is a basement with small windows and you have some olive greens in a nearby space, I would think about leafy themes in natural colors that remind you of the outdoors, with different shades of green and perhaps cream and tan. I like the purple mat. Maybe add some other touches of purple as an accent color. That would work with the olive green side too. I would replace the metal and glass TV stand with a wider one in a light natural wood color. You might want to make the TV a little higher in this case so it will be easier to view from the treadmill. If you put the TV on something that's more like a wide chest or cabinet, you could also use it to store some of your Fitness accessories in.
