Please recommend a paint color for garage gym

5 years ago

Just got our two car garage finished. The drywalls have very subtle orange peel texture. I need to select a paint color before the painters start working tomorrow mid day.

The garage is mostly used as a gym and all gym equipments are black. An example pic before drywalls were up

Here is how it looks now with drywall.

We will also have one wall for laundry section and has white washer dryer with white Ikea Hageby cabinets. This is the wall where the closed door and furnace is.

For the ceiling we want to go with flat Kelly Moore Swiss Coffee mostly because we have a lot of it leftover from other remodel work.

For the walls we can't decide on a color.

1. All white: Clean look but might contrast a lot with all black equipment and just look like any other room.

2. All black or dark grey: Like the idea but will make the space very dark.

3. All walls white with one wall dark grey

4. All walls light grey.

Will appreciate suggestion specifically with brand and paint color name so we can just buy the recommended one :)

I would want something that reminded me of the fresh outdoors, so I thought blues and greens. Since you already have Kelly Moore, I looked at their popular colors and selected these.

I would suggest a color that makes you want to go out and use the gym.

If that's purple, paint it purple.

If that's gray, paint it gray.

If it's purple and orange striples with yellow polka dots, do it!

What about a leafy green with a big white horizontal stripe. Lots of fun options.

Really ? A color you love since it is a very private space and really with what you have any color will work I would not do dark colors but that is me BTW a mirrored wall is a must in a gym IMO.

If you're definitely doing the ceiling swiss coffee, I would use that everywhere. Maybe eggshell on the walls.

Softer than pure white. A calm, soft, uniform backdrop.

Is the ceiling a pale blue, as it appears in the pic? If so, consider a darker blue for the walls.

KM4994 Silver blueberry in the grouping suggested by houssaon would be my choice -- warm enough in winter but not to hot a vibe for summer.

Bright color, one or two that makes it fun to work out. Why am I thinking primary colors?

They is specific paint color and quality for interior gym paint. And also it depends on your favorite color type. But, generally based on my experience would recommend Chalked paint 30 oz as your best choice.
