You can find many options for placing your treadmill in your living room, from using a decorative folding screen to storing it in a closet. Here are a few of these options:
Decorative Folding Screen
If you have a treadmill in your living room, you might want to cover it up. There are many ways to do this. One option is to hide the treadmill behind a screen. This can help you to avoid the eyesore that is created when people walk by. You can also build a screen enclosure out of bookshelves, and then hang decorative items from it. Depending on the size of your room, a three-panel screen may be the best option.
Another option is to hide the treadmill using a folding screen. This type of screen is inexpensive and easy to move. You can even hide the treadmill partly with tall indoor plants. This way, you can hide the treadmill while adding flair to your living room. Or, you can install bendable curtain rods to hide the treadmill in a corner. The options are almost endless. Regardless of the type of screen you choose, you are sure to find one that fits your needs and will fit in with your decor.
Use Treadmill Covers
Treadmill covers are an easy way to protect your exercise machine and keep it looking like new. These protective covers are made from high-density Oxford fabric, which makes them waterproof and dustproof. Zips at the bottom of the covers prevent moisture and dust from penetrating, and they protect the body of the treadmill from scratching. They are also highly compatible with other exercising appliances. The zipper design makes them easy to clean and use.
To buy the right treadmill cover, first determine the size of the machine. Measure its width, height, and length. Allow for at least two inches of extension. Next, cut or knit the material. Ensure that it fits snugly around the machine. After that, place the cover on the treadmill. Do not forget to tie the zips and make sure that the corners are firmly fixed. You’ll be glad you did!
Build a wall
If you want to put a treadmill in your living room, there are several ways to conceal it. One way is to install a wall across the treadmill. The wall does not need to be floor to ceiling; a four or five-foot wall will cover the tallest part of the treadmill. Make sure to paint the wall the same color as the walls in the rest of the room. A good color for the wall is one that matches the rest of the room.
If you can’t get rid of the treadmill completely, you can soundproof the space. This will help you keep the noise from bothering the room. The material and cost of soundproofing a room will all depend on your budget and the location. A room with little to no insulation is tougher to soundproof than a living room. If you have a basement, you can install a wall panel or build a closet for it.
Paint the wall black
You can use a half-wall or a full-wall to place a treadmill in your living room. The best part is that you don’t need to cover the ends of the wall with furniture. If you’re going to place a new or used bookcase next to your treadmill, consider leaving the original wall above the bookcase’s height. This way, you’ll create depth and keep the wall color from detracting from the room’s decor.
Another option is to put a rolling-up curtain over the treadmill. You can also build a wall across the treadmill room with wallboard, particleboard, or plywood. If you’re really pressed for space, you can choose a black paint job. You can add a few decorative accents to the wall as well, such as a red flowing scarf.
If nothing works you can move your treadmill to another room, bedroom, or even garage.
