The best home gym mirror ideas you have to add to your home workout space.
As you put the final touches on your home gym, don’t forget a mirror!
I love doing at-home workouts but they wouldn’t be the same without a mirror. It is so helpful to be able to take a quick glance to check my form and I love how much it expands my tiny workout space.
I just use a simple mirror that gets the job done but as I dream up my future home gym I had a blast compiling these home gym mirror ideas that you can use for your space!
Benefits of having a mirror in your home gym design
- You’re able to check your form to avoid injury, maintain good posture etc.
- Space illusion! They help your space to feel bigger and more open.
- Better lighting. They reflect natural and artificial light and make the space feel more energized
- Helps your home gym look more complete! Having a beautiful space to workout in is super motivating.
Best Home Gym Mirror Ideas
1. Use multiple mirrors for easy installation
Rather than purchasing one huge mirror just pick up a few to easily install.
You can still get the benefits of having basically a whole wall with mirrors without the hassle of having to secure a huge mirror!
2. Create a rustic look with wood framing
Once you find the perfect mirror, add some wood to frame the mirror for a more natural and rustic look.
Most of your gym equipment is probably pretty sterile looking so an earthy vibe is a fun twist.

3. Trendy arch mirrors to open up small spaces
Arched mirrors are stunning and give your at-home workout space a trendy feel.
For a more eclectic look, skip the regular rectangle mirrors and opt for a curved one!
4. Stick with a classic rectangle mirror
There’s nothing wrong with a classic rectangular mirror. This is what I use and it gets the job done!
5. Create a home gym mirror wall
Combine a few smaller rectangular mirrors to create the ultimate wall of mirrors. This idea is perfectly customizable as well.
If you end up wanting to rearrange your space you can easily take apart the mirrors and rearrange them to add more decor or equipment.
6. DIY gold gym mirrors
These are the same concept as before but add some personality to your mirrors to match the vibe of your home gym decor.

7. Create various sections by using multiple mirrors
If you don’t live alone you will most likely be sharing the home gym with your family or roommates. Use the mirrors to section off this space into different workout areas.
One section can be for lifting, cycling, stretching etc. Most all home workouts can benefit from having a home mirror to use!
8. Choose a smaller square mirror just for the aesthetics
You may not need or want a full-length mirror which is totally fine!
Mirrors are still great ways to make your space look larger and will reflect light bringing an energizing vibe to your home gym.
9. Prop your mirrors up against a wall
If you are not super handy with power tools-no worries! You can simply prop up a few mirrors that rest on the wall rather than hanging them.
You can add a bit of adhesive tape to the back at the top for extra security.

10. Opt for horizontal mirrors
I love this cheap hack for mirrors! Simply turn a few mirrors sideways to take up more space.
That way you don’t have to spend a fortune on giant mirrors.
11. Add lights around your mirror for a unique look
Bring a cozy vibe to your home gym by wrapping Christmas lights around your mirror. This is perfect if you are using the space for a yoga room as well.
I also love the LED strip lights that can change colors!
Adding mirrors to your home gym decor is partially about the aesthetics but it’s also about enhancing your workout experience to ensure you can easily check your form when needed. Creating a beautiful space to workout in hopefully encourages you to show up for yourself make make the most of your home gym!
Whether you go for a full-wall mirror to open up the room, a few strategically placed panels to save space, or a custom setup to fit your unique style, mirrors can make a big difference in both function and feel.
I hope this list of home gym mirrors gave you some inspiration to find the perfect mirror for your needs and to ultimately design your dream space to reach your fitness goals!
