Question

It is in the basement .

Answer 1

You should paint it a soothing blue with inspiring pictures on the walls. Paintings that interest you, those pictures with definitions at the bottom, stuff like that to look at while you work out.

Answer 2

I read a lot about colors a couple years ago when I was trying to decide what colors to paint my dining room and my den. I read somewhere that you shouldn't paint a room that you spend a lot of time in yellow because yellow can drain energy from you. I also read that a red room can make you hungry. Not sure if this is all true. There's a lot of info on color on www.HGTV.com. Click on decorating and then color. I would suggest blues, greens or light purples - calming colors. They sell a beach mural on www.wallpaper-inc.com that might be a neat idea for an exercise room. Good luck!

The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.

Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.

Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.

Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.

The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.

Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

I hate white in most cases, but I think it would look great in an exercise room, especially considering it is in the basement. It will brighten up the basement, as well as leaving you feeling refreshed. I know I would hate working out in a bright busy colored room.

A bright color like yellow or orange, but not too bright so you don't get sick of it. Like the first person said a scene would be nice, but also harder to paint and more expensive.
