Decorating Your Fitness Room With Lights

We are seeing an increased interest in fitness and overall wellness and as a result, there are fitness rooms springing up in homes across the country. A fitness room might consist of a corner of the garage or basement for some households. For others, an entire bedroom or den space might be dedicated as a fitness room for the family.

How should you decorate your fitness room? This room is really no different than the rest of your home. This space should be a welcoming space for you and invite you in to get something accomplished each day. Even if you can only carve out a small area in the basement or garage, decorate that corner in a way that is encouraging to you.

Decorating your fitness room with lights is a great way to bring warmth into the space and to create a positive atmosphere. Color is key when it comes to decorating a fitness area. Red is one color you don't want to choose for this space. Take note of the many restaurants that use red in their décor! The color red is associated with hunger, so keep that color out of your fitness room.

Do bright, bold colors get you motivated? Paint bold colors onto the walls and then use fabric or other accents, even the towels you use out there, to add punches of color. Soft colors are ideal if you use the room more for yoga or stretching.

Put photos or posters up on the walls (or in your corner space) that are motivating to you. Key words or phrases work well too as wall art in a fitness room. Full-length mirrors are extremely helpful in a fitness room so you can make certain you are using the proper form for an exercise.

Once the basics are in place, bring in the mini lights! Surround your mirrors with white mini lights so they'll be appropriate throughout the year. String lights around the room at the ceiling line. Bring nature into your fitness room with either real or artificial plants. Dress up your plants or trees with strings of mini lights draped through the branches and pooled at the base, creating a classy look for any room.

A towel rack with brightly colored towels looks inviting and keeps towels conveniently on hand for your daily work out. Wrap your towel rack with mini lights too! A mini fridge is a nice touch in a fitness room too. Place a decorative basket filled with our battery operated mini lights for pretty and sparkly touch on top of the refrigerator.

Light has a positive effect on human beings, so why not use mini lights in your fitness room to bring a positive vibe and to encourage you to get moving? Instead of turning on the overhead light first thing in the morning, switch on the mini lights around your fitness room for soft lighting.

A good rule of thumb for a fitness room is: if it motivates you, put it in the space. Mini lights are a great decorating tool, so use them wherever you want to add warmth and light. Positive sayings, before and after photos, and a chart of your success are all motivating tools to include in your fitness room as well.
