EL ANTES Y DESPUÉS DE UN SÓTANO EN BRUTO. (Fotografía de Juanan Barros) Nuestros clientes quieren aprovechar y disfrutar del espacio del sótano de su casa con un programa de necesidades múltiple: hacer una sala de cine, un gimnasio, una zona de cocina, una mesa para jugar en familia, un almacén y una zona de chimenea. Les planteamos un proyecto que convierte una habitación bajo tierra con acabados “en bruto” en un espacio acogedor y con un interiorismo de calidad... para pasar allí largos ratos All Together. Diseñamos un gran espacio abierto con distintos ambientes aprovechando rincones, graduando la iluminación, bajando y subiendo los techos, o haciendo un banco-espejo entre la pared de armarios de almacenaje, de manera que cada uso y cada lugar tenga su carácter propio sin romper la fluidez espacial. La combinación de la iluminación indirecta del techo o integrada en el mobiliario hecho a medida, la elección de los materiales con acabados en madera (de Alvic), el papel pintado (de Tres Tintas) y el complemento de color de los sofás (de Belta&Frajumar) hacen que el conjunto merezca esta valoración en Houzz por parte de los clientes: “… El resultado final es magnífico: el sótano se ha transformado en un lugar acogedor y cálido, todo encaja y todo tiene su sitio, teniendo una estética moderna y elegante. Fue un acierto dejar las elecciones de mobiliario, colores, materiales, etc. en sus manos”.

A meditation/yoga room. Lots of floor space and a soft rug are perfect for yoga for one or two people. The carved red architectural artifacts on the wall flank a table of tribal artifacts picked up on our client's travels.

Home Gym Design Ideas with Beige Walls and Recessed

A home gym can be a worthwhile investment, helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle, and saving you money in the long-run, too. All you need is a small exercise nook or a spare room that can be stocked with gym equipment. Strapped for cash? Workouts at home needn’t cost a cent; just throw down an exercise mat at the foot of your bed and voila. Home gym equipment can be large and bulky – a cross trainer, rowing machine or bench press, for example, will dominate most rooms. There are, however, alternative options for getting fit. Before you start planning the space, decide on what you actually enjoy doing, and what equipment you will get the most use out of. Depending on your budget and interests, you could have a yoga studio, meditation room, weights room, basketball court or even a dance studio. Browse the photos on Houzz for ideas and inspiration for home gyms, and save your favourites to an ideabook. Once you're ready, you can find the architect or interior designer to help bring your vision to life.

What kind of home gym should I have?

To get the most out of your home gym, plan a space that will allow you to incorporate many different fitness regimes. A spare room can be transformed into a hub for aerobics, yoga, pilates, kickboxing, dancing and cardio – just add timber floorboards or rubber flooring, a mirrored wall, an exercise machine, some dumbbells, a TV and a killer sound system. This way, there’s something for the whole family. If you have the space and enjoy doing specific workouts, consider making a specialty room like a yoga studio.

How do I create a double-duty exercise room?

Make the most of your home gym by making it a dual-purpose room. You could combine your gym with an office space, playroom, guest bedroom or garage, for example. Consider which space is most practical. A treadmill in your bedroom won’t be ideal if you workout at the crack of dawn while your partner is still sleeping; likewise, you won’t want to lift weights in a garage that turns into a sweatbox in the summer because it isn’t insulated.

What kind of home gym equipment do I need?

Again, this depends on what you enjoy doing most. Yoga mats, dumbbells and punching bags are popular purchases, or you could splurge on big-ticket items like a treadmill or multi-functional home gym system. Additional extras to help get you in the zone include a sound system, wall-mounted TV, as well as a mini bar to store cold drinks. Don’t forget to allow for efficient ventilation and cooling.
