So were finally shoveling through the remodel in the wake Florence, and I’m getting to a point were I need to start thinking about how I’m going to paint the garage.
I’m not big into feng-shui, but there are some things I’m considering:
The walls used to be white, and considering it’s a room full of moderately rusted iron, and I typically lift right after work, it was not the ideal color.
The rest of the house is in a grey/blue/green color, which I really like, but it’s a little too tame for a gym imo.
I’m a big fan of red, but a whole room of red would probably give me an aneurysm.
Any colors, or combinations that would fit the bill, maybe someone with a bit more experience in color coding than myself? (I literally only own 2 shirts that arent black)
If memory serves you’re on a strict budget, but I would hang 1/4" plywood around the perimeter much like wainscotting. You can then seal it with a poly if you’d like and it will protect the walls from errant DBs, bars, and weights being leaned up against them while also adding some neutral color and texture.
I need an airy and open feeling to my training space. If this sounds like you don’t go for dark colours.
The downside is marks are much more noticable. I’d go with a neutral colour but a lighter shade. Then put up posters and other wall art in brighter colours.
Plus a mirror for masturba… err posi… errr checking form infront of.
Leave it like it is, has that authentic feel for work.
Failing that I like dark grey / charcoal behind the rack and the end window wall. Paint above the up and over door and the other wall white and clean / paint the door too. Save the red paint for the floor.
