If you’re part of the BDSM community, then you probs already have a secret space in your house called the “playroom” OR, if you’ve just gotten into BDSM, then you might be looking at playroom inspo. Whatever the case may be, the suggestions below might help you out when you’re decorating/finalising your BDSM playroom.
Your kink space is an extremely personal space that reflects your personality (in the BDSM side of the world). It’s almost as if entering your playroom is like stepping into your BDSM headspace. So, however you’d like to decorate your BDSM playroom, one thing to keep in mind is to stick close to the idea of who you are in your sexual relationship dynamics (whether you’re a Dom or a Sub or Vers).
Hope this helps!
1. Pick Your Style
The first step to take before venturing into interior designing is to decide on the overall style of the room. You’ll need to figure out a theme for how you want your playroom to turn out to be. For instance, if you are a dominant, then maybe playrooms with these themes might be closest to what you may have in mind:
Once the theme is confirmed, you need to get to painting the room, picking out the wallpaper and flooring. For instance, if red is the colour you are going for, then going for the same wallpaper colour or something similar would help. The flooring is also an important element here. Upon entering a playroom, even stepping on the floor should bring out the vibes of the whole room. So be wise on the type of flooring you choose for your playroom. Most BDSM playrooms prefer wooden flooring over tiles. Then again, it all comes down to your personal choice.
2. Change The Hardware
With playrooms, the focus is on the details. Selecting the appropriate hardware is crucial when designing a BDSM playroom. For instance, picking out the right door knobs, furnishing the room with unique chairs, stools, drawers and cabinets will totes give your playroom a more BDSM theme. Picking out the right furniture would also help in this case – red leather cushions or sofas would be gorgeous additions to the room.
3. Display
A way to flaunt your BDSM playroom is to put all those toys and “torture devices” you own on display. If you have more than enough, then the rest can go inside your cabinets and drawers, while a few can be put on display on a wooden table.
If you are a Dom, then having your toys and devices on display would emphasise your dominance. For instance, fix a hook on your walls and hang your floggers, cuffs and restraints. In a shelf, you may place your after-care medicines and any extra sex toy that you own.
4. Lighting
Lighting too plays a big role. Dim and sensual lighting is perfect for a BDSM playroom. It’s best for you to picture a scenario inside the room to understand the type of lighting you would prefer when carrying out sexual activities there.
Lamps and shades are examples of lighting accessories that will instantly uplift your BDSM playroom.
5. Be Unique In Detailing
A specific detail – other than the decor and your toys – that will really stand out in your BDSM playroom is fabrics. Whether they’re simply hanging loosely on a piece of furniture, or draping over the bed, choosing the right fabrics will really complete the look of your playroom.
Go for darker pieces of fabric, with unique patterns.
6. Add Mirrors
Mirrors are sexy and they can instantly make any part of the room more sensual – if that makes sense. Hanging a mirror in your BDSM playroom would be a smart choice. A full length mirror that looks rather antique and maybe even stained, would be a perfect fit as a playroom decoration.
Mirror placement is also something you might wanna consider. When you and your BDSM partner are getting down to business, looking into a mirror when carrying out such activities will totes be a turn on – both for the Dom and the Sub.
7. Carpet
Be wise when choosing a carpet. A carpet that is not harsh, and at the same time not too soft, would be ideal for a playroom. If you do a lot of your activities in a kneeling position, you of course, don’t wanna kill your or your Sub’s knees. So, a perfect, soft and sultry-looking carpet is necessary for a BDSM playroom.
8. Headboard
Finally, the headboard of the bed. This will basically sum up your whole playroom. The headboard needs to scream BDSM in every way possible. A red, wood-detailed headboard would bring the whole look of your playroom together. For instance, your headboard could look something like the image above. Or maybe a stronger headboard like this would do:
