We\u2019re discussing everything you need to know about creating your own sex room.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be an expert to create one, so let\u2019s delve into the world of fantasy and desire.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whatisasexroom?\"><strong>What is a sex room?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best aspects about sex rooms is their purpose is totally up to you. While they are used for sex (as the name suggests), you can get creative with your personal space.<\/p>\n<p>A sex room doesn\u2019t have to be a complete dungeon. It can be a luxe bedroom with a comfortable bed and chic decor. Alternatively, you can create a thrilling dungeon in your own home too. There aren\u2019t any rules, just turn-ons and positive spaces.<\/p>\n<p>When someone mentions sex rooms, most minds go straight to 50 Shades of Grey or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/bdsm-guide-for-bondage-beginners\/\">BDSM<\/a>. While this is ideal for some, it can put others off. Luckily, the Netflix show is changing our perception of sex rooms and promoting these fun spaces to mainstream audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be planning any home renovations this year?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3569\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1.png\" alt=\"room interior for bdsm play, Dominance and submission toys\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-1-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"whybuildasexroom?\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why build a sex room?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/sex-work-relationships\/\">Sex rooms are ideal for reigniting the spark in your relationship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your love life needs some oomph, or perhaps you want a dedicated area to get naughty, a sex room is here to fulfil your needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some of the top benefits of building a sex room:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An intimate area to reconnect<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Say goodbye to your phone, emails, and the stresses of modern life.

Whether you get creative through decoration or through making love, you\u2019ll find new inspiration in no time.<\/p>\n<p>All walks of life can enjoy sex rooms. Whether you\u2019re married, single, polyamorous, kinky, or vanilla &#8211; you could benefit from a sex room. These rooms are here to help you promote intimacy, connection, and sexual fantasies in a safe and exciting environment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whatshouldeverysexroomhave?\"><strong>What should every sex room have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Curious about building your own sex room? Make sure you stock it up with all the essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/best-sex-toys-and-how-to-use-them\/\">sex toys<\/a> are an essentials. When considering what to include in your room, make sure the latest toys are on your list. Standard options include vibrators, dildos, and anal beads. However, you can add some extra kink to your list with an introduction to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/best-bdsm-sex-toys\/\">bondage set<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to completely embrace kink, make sure you add some handcuffs or <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-japanese-rope-bondage\/\">Shibari<\/a><\/u> rope to your room. Restraints are a popular sex room staple, allowing you and your partner to play with boundaries and dominance.<\/p>\n<p>Another popular option for a sex room includes candles. Whether you use these for intimate lighting or invest in some body-safe candles for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-wax-play\/\">wax play<\/a>, they can bring you and your partner to a new level of intimacy. Just remember to buy soy candles if you intend to use them on your skin.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you also have plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-use-sexual-lubricants\/\">lube<\/a> in your sex room. Lube is essential for comfortable and pleasurable sex. Keeping lube on hand will save you the effort of finding a hidden bottle in the heat of the moment. Consider adding different tastes and textures for unique play.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, every sex room should have a bed or a couch-type piece for you to sit on. Let\u2019s face it; beds are ideal for sex. However, you can replace a standard bed with a chaise lounge, a tantric chair, or some bean bags. It\u2019s all up to you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3568\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2.png\" alt=\"Sexy woman in lace eye cover and red lips with young lover, foreplay in hotel room\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-build-a-sex-room-2-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"howtobuildasexroom?\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to build a sex room?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All stocked up on sex room goodies? It\u2019s time to start building your sex room.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to arranging the space, the first step is to decide on the location. Do you have a spare room with no purpose? Or are you going to give your bedroom a complete decor change?<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to common belief, you don\u2019t need an extra room to build a sex-positive space. Once you know where you\u2019re building your room, it\u2019s easier to identify decor.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aesthetic<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The next step is to choose a decor theme. Common options include a BDSM theme, a luxury chic bedroom, or a vibrant and fun colourful theme. Choose whatever theme makes you feel most comfortable. A visual mood board can help you in this stage of the planning process.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, start purchasing decor and furniture. This can include textured rugs, patterned wallpaper, or some naughty art. Scented candles and mood lighting are also popular for sex rooms, adding an intimate atmosphere. If you\u2019re feeling confident, you might want to take some sensual or arty photos of yourself and your partner to hang on the wall too.<\/p>\n<p>When building a sex room, adding fun textures into the mix is a great way to play with your senses. From satin sheets to leather furniture, incorporate textures you wouldn\u2019t usually use in your home.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kinky stuff<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, now is the time to invest in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-explore-kinks-fetish\/\">kink elements<\/a> &#8211; if you want to. This could include a full mirror on the ceiling or a bed frame that works well with handcuffs. Get creative and think about your deepest fantasies, now is the time to bring them to life. Experienced kinksters might want to add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-use-a-sex-swing\/\">sex swing<\/a> or a pony bench for extra fun.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to discuss your decor and furniture options with your partner. Mixing two tastes can bring challenges, but you both need to feel comfortable in your room. Like sex, clear communication is the best way to achieve a fulfilling decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to discuss a sex room with your partner<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Have you been dreaming of a sex room for a while but haven\u2019t told your partner? It might seem embarrassing to want a sex room, but this isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to approach the topic is simply to be confident and ask. Asking straightforward questions is essential. With any sex-related conversations, communication needs to be crystal clear. This allows you to get your desires across and learn more about your partner.<\/p>\n<p>Making love is at the centre of most relationships, so your partner will likely jump at the chance to take your intercourse up a notch.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you have a sex room if you have kids?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another common worry about sex rooms is \u201cWhat if we have children?\u201d. As we all know, having kids doesn\u2019t mean you have to give up sex. At the same time, some sex rooms are definitely not child-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>While some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/sex-outside-the-bedroom\/\">spare bedroom<\/a> sex rooms go undetected, kink-focused rooms are tougher to maintain. Luckily, there are many options if you need a discrete kink room. For example, some adult stores now offer blow-up sex furniture. These are ideal for moments when you have the home to yourself and are easily deflated for secret storage.<\/p>\n<p>Choose opulent fabrics, sophisticated decor, and intimate lighting if you want to hide it in plain sight. This will make your room more romantic, but it will hide its purpose well. There\u2019s no shame in a sex room, but we totally understand wanting to keep yours under wraps.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"willyoubebuildingyourownsexroom?\"><strong>Will you be building your own sex room?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Is a home renovation project on the cards for you in the future?
