Color influences your mood, so getting your home gym renovation done by a professional home painting contractor who understands how to choose the right hues is important. How the gym is organized also matters. Our company has experience with renovating gyms in Chesapeake VA and the surrounding areas.

Choosing the Right Paint Colors for Your Type of Workout

The colors you use should both appeal to you and influence your mood in the right way for exercising. If you don’t like fiery hues for home decor, you have options in neutrals and cool colors. It’s not just fiery tones that can get you motivated for a workout.

However, if you’re the type who enjoys an aggressive workout, intense colors tend to work best. Red, orange and other fiery hues are recommended. If your home gym is small, you can offset the bright color with a neutral shade. This allows you to benefit psychologically from the energizing color while keeping the room looking attractive rather than overdone. Neutral colors are also great for maintaining a balanced space if you have a lot of equipment.

Icy blues and grey tones can help you push through when you feel like giving up. Take in a deep breath and the cool colors assist in soothing your mind so that you can believe it’s possible to go a little further. Cool colors are also supportive of those who like more relaxing routines like yoga.

If you plan on meditating in your home gym, then earthy greens and light blues are ideal paint colors to use. These colors are also supportive of yoga and pilates. They help your mind and body relax.

Home painting can be a time-consuming and even frustrating process. You may have holes to fill, and you have to move everything out of the way. Hiring a professional painting contractor saves you the hassle while giving you stunning results that you’ll feel satisfied with. Professional home painting also lasts longer than DIY painting.

Other Aspects of Your Home Gym That Matter

To get the most out of your home gym renovation, you also need to consider:

• Lighting

• Mirrors

• Organization

• Personal touch

Many professional gyms have large windows. Natural light is the best type of lighting for your workout space. If letting in a lot of natural light isn’t possible, then bright overhead lighting is your next best choice. Natural and bright lighting helps keep your energy levels high. Low, soft lighting, in contrast, can leave you feeling demotivated and low on energy.

Mirrors are essential in a home gym because they show you if you’re keeping the correct form or not. Ideally, you want a wall of mirror, but several body-length mirrors work too. An added benefit of mirrors is they make the room feel larger.

Maintaining an organized home gym keeps you motivated because it reduces how many excuses you can give yourself to not exercise. If you use bands, straps, bolsters, blocks, mats or weights, you need to keep them organized. You could install shelves to store towels or other items. For things like straps, bands, mats and blocks, you can buy organizers to store them neatly.

Consider adding a small refrigerator to your home gym to help eliminate excuses while keeping yourself hydrated if you’re feeling too tired after your workout to grab a drink from the kitchen. A small refrigerator adds a personal touch to your home gym too.

Adding a personal touch to your home gym helps it feel like your space while allowing you to get the most out of it. Other ways to personalize your home gym are whiteboards, inspirational quotes, a vision board and motivational pictures. This is probably the most exciting part of renovating your home gym.

Whiteboards can be used to track your progress. Alternatively, you could use a chalkboard or a blackboard if that suits your style more.
