Before the remodel, the owners were using just an open corner of the unfinished basement to workout in. It worked, but it didn’t feel motivating (or organized!). The goal was to create a true home gym that felt intentional for its desired purpose, with durable materials that can withstand a hard workout, and a design that stayed connected to the rest of the basement.

Our Client's Vision
Home Gym Color Palette
They wanted a space where they could truly feel like they were “going to the gym,” without ever leaving home. Think: room to move, equipment that stays in place, and finishes that could handle real workouts. We brought in sports-specific flooring for comfort and durability, painted the walls a grounding deep green to set an active tone, and added a large 8-foot glass door to separate the gym from the living area while still keeping the basement feeling open and connected. Inspiring artwork finished off the space.
The Moonstone Effect
Now, the gym feels complete – no longer a corner, but a true destination that motivates movement and belongs to the home.
Painted walls in a deep green for a bold, energizing backdrop
Added a large glass door to define the space without closing it off
Created clear zones for equipment, movement, and stretching
Designed a space that is both functional for daily workouts and visually tied to the rest of the basement

client testimonial
We were impressed with how quickly the team worked. We had no delays in our project. I loved working with a woman contractor. It made me feel much more comfortable asking questions + making decisions with someone who was also a mom. It was easy to get ahold of Lidia and her team, and we received daily updates on the progress. We have had our new basement for several months now and really love it! It functions and looks exactly like we wanted, and Moonstone made that happen! We will certainly reach out to Lidia and her team for other home projects in the future.
