Use A Dollar Tree Essential To DIY A Mirror Wall For Your Garage Home Gym

You're setting up your home gym and suddenly notice it's missing something. The flooring is ready, your weights and fixtures are set, but there's not a mirror to watch those gains or toning sessions take place (and checking form is important). Custom designs can cost quite a bit, and finding a large enough piece could be tricky should you want to DIY it. But then you remember social media hacks exist, and that Dollar Tree has almost every supply you need to upgrade any room in your home (including the gym). Using several Dollar Tree Luminessence glass mirror candle holders, you can add an entire mirrored wall in your garage on a budget, and it will still give stylish vibes without the excessive effort. Save the muscle strain for your fitness routines, and try this hack for a seriously elevated home gym. 

Your supplies may vary depending on how big your wall space is, the texture of the wall, and how many Dollar Tree mirrors you can find. In this case, you're using flat, mirrored candle holders, but you can use any frameless mirror sections. Make sure you are measuring your surface space before heading to the store — while a guesstimate can work, you want to be absolutely sure to avoid running short or having way too much. If you're using the square shapes, they measure 4.5" x 4.5" — there are other shapes, such as an octagon or circles, that measure differently and require different configurations. While there are so many home gym ideas to pull from, all of them can benefit from a mirror wall for added natural light and a way to enhance your actual workouts.

Get creative with your gym mirror wall

Turning your garage or other spaces into a home gym doesn't have to cost a fortune, especially if you can find budget-friendly options like this Dollar Tree mirror wall. The idea is to attach the individual mirrors to the wall, side-by-side, to cover the full wall. Command strips will likely be the ideal way to adhere your mirror pieces to the wall, and they are also fairly inexpensive. The big perk of these is that you can also remove this mirror wall should you ever sell your home or decide to renovate the gym area. You may want to add two to four Command strips per glass piece, varying the number depending on the shape and size of each mirrored panel. You could also try using strong, double-sided tape, but test a few mirror squares lower to the ground on a padded floor before doing the whole wall to ensure the tape will stick. 

A mirror accent wall using a few Dollar Tree finds is not a new trend, but it's certainly creative to add one to your home gym. However, it doesn't have to follow the standard rectangular layout associated with most gym mirrors. If you opt to use the circles or any of the other shapes, a unique design could be a clever way to elevate your space without affecting the rest of the layout. Lay out a connecting pattern that doesn't have a specific shape but still gives you a good view of a section of the workout room for an upgraded take on fitness glass. Adding these will also help you fix your dark and gloomy garage by allowing more light to be reflected around the room!
