This project transformed a barely-functional, cluttered gym storage room into a welcoming multi-purpose space where new clients can have an informational session with a coach, where the owner can manage paperwork, and where gym members can relax before class or make a protein drink after. The teal and black theme colors were carried over from the main gym area, and the varied black & white geometric wallpaper patterns gave the space movement and energy. To align with the gym's motto: "inclusive, fun, strong", the design integrates motivational messaging and playful elements along with bold colors and patterns.

Kim’s Design Notes: As a member of this awesome neighborhood gym, I was thrilled when the owner contacted me about redesigning the storage room. I had been in the room a few times to look for equipment, and saw its great potential for benefiting the staff and members alike. A limited budget created opportunity for creativity, which was especially fun since the owner already had a great color scheme for the rest of the gym and had several unique pieces I was able to integrate into the design. I had picked up a variety of geometric wallpaper remnants and loved the way they turned out after framing them into segments which coordinated with the geometric feature wall. Hearing how much use the space gets now brings me deep fulfillment, as this project is the perfect example of why Stave Interiors exists!
