Gym Décor Ideas: Size Guide

Next, consider which dimensions will best fit your space. The size of your art will depend on the size of your wall. Follow our handy tips below to ensure you pick the best canvas for your home gym:

Your wall art should take up 60% to 75% of your overall empty wall space, in other words, the portion not covered by furniture. First, measure the height and width of the wall. After you have those measurements, multiply them by both 0.6 and 0.75. This will give you the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.

For example, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.

Wall art that you want to hang above a piece of furniture should be between 2/3 and 3/4 of the furniture's overall width. Use this example for reference: If your couch is 6 feet wide, multiply it by 0.66 and 0.75. That means you’ll need a canvas between 3.96 feet and 4.5 feet wide to fit impressively above the couch.

Use Mirrors that Motivate

Mirrors can help you see your physical positions to prevent accidental injury, and they also play a big role in making your home gym feel more like a professional setting. The best part is, you get to choose what kind of mirrors to hang and where to hang them.

Fancy an ornate gold-framed mirror? Go for it! Test the trend of a full body mirror or try a collage of smaller mirrors for a more abstract look.

Don’t Shy Away from Natural Light

It may be tempting to close your curtains when you’re trying to focus on an intense workout, but natural light can actually serve as a great motivator! If you don’t have access to natural light, look for artificial lighting that mimics natural light sources. Harsh, florescent lighting will increase your stress rather than reduce it. You can also implement our mirror trick by using a mirror to reflect your main light source.

There’s nothing more motivating than being out in nature and breathing in the fresh air. Unfortunately, not everyone has that privilege at the moment. The solution? Bring nature home with you! You can improve the air quality of your home gym by placing a few potted plants around the room. The appearance of lush greenery will make your workouts more enjoyable, and it will make you feel infinitely more relaxed. Don’t trust yourself to take care of a plethora of houseplants? No problem! Some beautiful botanical wall art will do the trick.

You can also use color psychology to maximize your productivity. For instance, if you’re a yoga fanatic, consider cooling, calming blue hues. If you’re absolutely obsessed with cardio, choose from fiery reds. Whether you choose a teal yoga mat, an orange water bottle, or a fuchsia set of weights, look for workout equipment in bright colors. If you're totally stumped on which color combo to choose, you can't go wrong with black and blue gym ideas!
