How to Create a Sex Room Design That Screams Sex

So you finished watching the first episode of Melanie Rose’s new Netflix series, ‘How to Build a Sex Room,’ (have you ever wondered who pays for the rooms on ‘How to Build a Sex Room’? )and you were inspired to give your bedroom a new look? Unfortunately, you are not the talented interior designer Melanie Rose, and you need inspiration.

You’re not an interior designer. Heck, maybe you have trouble finding a placement for the most basic furniture, and you are struggling to figure out good ideas for your new love-making nest.

You don’t want to end up with a color scheme that gives you a headache or a room so cluttered that you can’t even move. Don’t worry – we have collected exciting tips to help you design the erotic room of your (wet) dreams!

The Best Sex Room Interior Design Ideas

Sexual fantasies are infinitely variable – so are sex room interior designs. That’s why we want to give different suggestions, from sexy furniture to BDSM decor, and tips for creating a sensual atmosphere.

Don’t let popular misconceptions stop you from creating a room of your dreams. Here’s what Melanie Rose has to say about them:

Sex Room Project

Recognize the type of room that you want to use as your sex room. Consider the size and the mood you want. Think of your likes and dislikes, and any ideas – perhaps ones inspired by Mary Poppins of sex – Melanie Rose. Once you have a vision for the room, you are ready to move forward.

Sex room ideas with swing and stripper pole

Maybe you and your partner are fitness enthusiasts – or perhaps you just find pole dancing incredibly sexy?

Either way, we suggest that you consider adding a swing and a stripper pole – namely, the Mipole 360 Chrome Dance Pole.

Small space

Don’t feel limited by creating your sex room in a small space. The key is the decor – there are plenty of awesome sex room ideas appropriate for small rooms.

Neutral sex room

Maybe you don’t want your sex room to be so in-your-face. Maybe you have roommates, and you’re a private person. A neutral sex room is completely doable – you simply need to find discreet placement for anything sexual.

Sex room in the attic

Why not? What’s kinkier than having a secret sexy attic? This is a great option – especially for a noir BDSM den!

What Should You Put in Your Sex Room?

This is the room where your most intimate moments take place, so get excited! Your new sex room should include your adult toys and other kinky objects, chains, whips, and a sex swing… That said, consider the atmosphere and carefully choose lighting, bedding, carpets, and the list goes on.

Kinky objects and artwork

Are you kinky? If that’s the case, don’t be afraid to incorporate kink decor into your sexy space.

Depending on what you’re into, maybe an inversion table or a St. Andrew’s cross with bondage equipment (such as Liberator Beso Bondage Chair) would be a great addition to your impressive collection.

Consider hanging up some kinky art or some spicy personal photos – the cherry on top of your personalized kinky dungeon.

Finish off your naughty design by hanging your leather gear on penis-shaped hooks, and enjoy!

Toy storage

Want to keep things discreet? Decide on a closet or a box where you can safely store your sex toys. Fit this to the theme of your room, and don’t buy it from Bob the Builder.

What to Consider?

You want to consider not only the location of your new sexy room but your fantasies, the surfaces you like doing the deed on, your budget, and your preferences for decor and lighting.

Sex room location

Picking a location is tricky – you can use various spaces, such as your bedroom or even the guest room or attic.

Your fantasies

Now that you’ve chosen your dedicated sex room, think about how to bring your sexual fantasies to life!

Place for sex

Maybe you enjoy a traditional bed for sex. Or perhaps a St. Andrew’s cross or a leather table. Pick a few of your favorites, and find a way to incorporate them into your sexy space.

Budget

Melanie Rose’s clients’ sex rooms are on the pricier side – but yours doesn’t have to be. Use furniture that you already own and buy sexy decor that fits your budget. If you have a rich sugar daddy, put everything on his credit card.

Decor Theme

The theme of your sexy decor is dependent on you – just make sure to keep it consistent. If your choice is a subtle romantic space, perhaps covering the wall with 12-inch butt plugs is not appropriate.

Lighting

Use mood lighting to create a sexy atmosphere – but natural lighting can be sexy too.

Colors

Stick to warm, sensual colors like orange, brown, red, and black. Stay far from bright neon colors.

Textures

If you’re a touchy-feely person, textures matter. Choose comfortable but different textures that complement each other – maybe silk bedding and leather cuffs.

Music

Stay away from dad-rock and the Teletubbies theme song (unless that’s a huge turn-on). Otherwise, this is really up to you. Hot tip: create your own sex playlist!

Conclusion

Now that you have some ideas for additions to your bedroom to create the love-making room of your dreams, get busy! Buy that pony bench, work on painting that old ceiling joist, maybe watch ‘How to Build a Sex Room’ hosted by the interior designer Melanie Rose for additional ideas, and start seriously planning your erotic home renovation!

These tips might get handy also when you decide to create your own adult airbnb design!
