Room AI – Post-Apocalyptic Home Gym with Salvaged Metal Rig

This post-apocalyptic home gym vignette pairs salvaged hardware with raw patina. Weathered galvanized panels and a charred timber backboard frame a DIY resistance rig: a brass pulley and belt, a black vinyl seat, and a translucent water jerrycan used as counterweight. Purple LED underlighting washes the rusted steel frame while an amber jar candle adds warmth. Ragged sheet edges, exposed rivets, and corrosion define the gritty, survivalist mood.
