I’m so smitten with the gorgeous set of blue and white porcelain bowls that I picked up {here are some similar ones you might like}. They fit perfectly in the triangles and they are just the right size for containing all the small things I need, like my earbuds and fit bit. These bowls are also a great place for me to put my earrings and wedding ring while I’m working out.
In the other triangles I have my wrist/ankle weights, some rolled up white hand towels, fitness balls, and a blue lotus and cherry blossom scented candle in a cute blue and white jar {here are similar blue and white candles}.
The punched pattern in my metal hamper gives it soft and feminine look, but don’t be fooled – this thing is heavy duty. It’s really heavy and sturdy {way heavier than it looks}! This makes it perfect for storing my weighted body bars, but if you use hamper that’s not quite as heavy duty, be sure to lean your body bars or weights into a corner.
SHOP THE STYLE OF THIS SMALL SPACE WORKOUT ROOM
Some of the items I used in our space are no longer available from World Market, but I have found similar replacements for each.

Angela I love those walls shelves! They make workout stuff look so chic! Congrats on reaching your goal, that is really amazing! I don't love races, but my friend got me to do a 5K obstacle course-type challenge with her last year and it was seriously so much fun, the atmosphere of everyone helping each other through the challenges and just having a good laugh along the way….I got my husband and kids to sign up for one this spring. You might enjoy one of those too!

What a great idea for a small space. We do not have a spare room for a gym so this would be great for our home. I love the blue color tones too! Very nice!
Aimee Giese says
Definitely much more inviting! Love the color scheme and especially the triangle shelves! (Can I convince my husband to try and make some???)
Jen Goode says
I'm a big fan of cubbies – I love the unique triangle shape, so cool! Plus, Do it for the Donuts… perfect!
Donna Anders says
This is so well done! Sure would like info about the little bench you used – the ones I've seen are too lightweight to use for weights!!

This is the shoe rack I bought (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2Icp8Oz
It has been strong enough for my light weight hand-weights, but I put my kettleballs to the side because I don't think it would have held those. I don't think this shoe rack would be strong enough to hold a lot of weights, but it's working well for what I needed in the limited space I had available. If I needed something to hold more weight, I'd probably build my own with a center support. I hope that helps.

Thank you very much!

Looks awesome.. where did you purchase the triangle shelves?
blueistyle says
I purchased it at World Market, but they no longer sell it. At the bottom of the post, I’ve linked to similar triangle shelves that are still available.

Looks great! Where did you purchase the white bookshelf? Thanks!

I bought the white bookshelf at CB2, but it was more than a decade ago.
