Space & Budget Guidance

For a small home gym: Small home gyms (under 100 sq ft) focus on essentials: a mat, adjustable dumbbells, resistance bands, and perhaps one cardio machine (folding treadmill or bike). Mirror and TV add motivation. Effectiv
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can fully embrace neo-traditional drama with bold furniture groupings, dramatic lighting, and theatrical accessories. The scale allows traditional grandeur. In a larger home gym: Large home gyms (200+ sq ft) can rival commercial gyms: multiple cardio machines, cable machine, free weights, dedicated stretching area, and possibly a sauna or recovery zone.
Budget-Friendly
Focus drama on one element: a bold wallpaper accent wall, statement lighting fixture, or lacquered thrift-store find. Neo-traditional impact comes from boldness, not necessarily expense.
Luxury Approach
Commission custom lacquerwork, source designer fabrics, invest in dramatic lighting, and work with designers specializing in theatrical traditional interiors.
