When designing your home gym, you probably focus on what pieces of equipment you want to add. Of course, you should prioritize getting the equipment you need to do your exercises, like barbells, plates, kettlebells, power racks, benches, and so forth.
But, once you get set up, it’s important to personalize your home gym too!
Accent pieces and décor are a great way to make your home gym feel like your own, unique space that you feel comfortable in.
And believe it or not, there are a lot of cool home gym accents available on Etsy.
Yes, I said Etsy!
So, let’s talk about how to personalize your home gym with gym accents.
How To Personalize Your Home Gym
There are a few home gym accents in my own garage gym that I love. They help make the space less generic and instead more comfortable and functional.
And you don’t need a lot! With just a few great accents, the room is custom-tailored to my tastes and personality.

Wall décor for your home gym
For example, I personalized the walls in my home gym by hanging things on the walls like my Garage Gym Life banner. Just by adding this banner, my gym feels much more personalized to me, and I enjoy using the space more.
Functional accents to make your home gym more practical
I’ve also added many accents to my home gym that are functional and help me maximize my usage of the space.
For example, I absolutely love this water bottle holder that attaches right onto my power rack. The same company also makes a phone holder attachment.
Another thing that I get a lot of compliments on are these wall hooks. I got these on Etsy from a shop called Anchor Hooks and Hardware. These gym wall hooks are a great way for me to hang up small items that I use all the time in my gym, like my headphones.
Lastly, since I film in my garage gym, I added a “recording” sign, so people know when I’m recording and keep the noise down.
Things to consider when ordering cool gym accents from Etsy
Like most items on Etsy, the wall hooks for the gym shipped quickly and were super easy to install.
One thing to keep in mind is that many Etsy sellers make items in small batches. Therefore, if you find something you like, I recommend ordering as many as you need at once. I had ordered just one of the wall hooks to see if I liked it and I had to wait to get more because they went out of stock for a bit.
Etsy has quite a number of small businesses that cater specifically to the home gym audience. There are a lot of products for gym organization, gym shelving, and more. There are even specific products like accents to customize your Peloton bike.
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of cool and useful home gym accents on Etsy, so check it out if you’re wanting to personalize your home gym!
