If you’re interested in serious bondage or other aspects of BDSM, it might be time to consider a dedicated play space — aka a BDSM dungeon.
However, if you’ve never taken on a project like this before, keep in mind that it’s easy to get obsessed, take on too much, go over budget, and lose interest or become frustrated with the project.
Let’s break this down into manageable concepts…
1. Thinking Space
Which room you want depends on your preferences and what is available.
- Do you have a lot or little free space?
- Does it need to be hidden or can it be made public?
- Is it more suitable for personal or professional use?
- Is it hidden enough to be out of public view?
- Do you need to worry about noise complaints?
Basements, Garages and Attics The most popular choice for atmosphere and freedom. Besides that, all you need is four walls, a floor and a ceiling.
Climate control is also important. Make sure everyone is comfortable—not too hot or too cold. Mold can also become a problem if humidity isn’t controlled.
2. Color and atmosphere
Red and black are the most popular, but You don’t have to use them If you don’t want to.
I’ve seen some beautiful spaces. White and industrial style mixedIt looks like a quirky Apple store, and it’s beautiful. And then there’s Brick or fake stone Similar to a wine cellar or a real dungeon.
Or why not do something? Rich and colorful, full of purple, yellow and blue? I also saw a bright pink painting of what looked like a dead Hello Kitty on the wall.
Whatever you like!
If you don’t have design thinking, remember, choose A primary color and One or two accent colors.
The lighting doesn’t have to be too dark or scary. If you can, try soft and romantic, harsh spotlights, or a psychedelic disco ball. you You can have whatever you want.
My personal favorite is a regular lamp and a couple of spotlights – all with dimmers.
3. What is your budget?

Most of us don’t have tons of cash to splash out, so we need to be selective about what we buy for our dungeons.
If you are short of money, you may consider An exhibit – such as a frame bed, St. Andrew’s cross, spanking bench, throne, sex machine or sex swing.
It should be the most unique item in your collection and your favorite piece. Your decor and layout will revolve around it.
If you have more money, the concept should be the same, but you just fill the space with more toys.
4. Buy reputable products
Any commercial game prop that can bear a considerable weight should Made by a person or company who knows what they are doing.
you No It must cost a lot of money. But don’t be cheap — especially if you don’t want it to fall apart while you use it.
5. Construction or renovation
Don’t turn your nose up at DIY or modified furniture or commercial products.
Try transforming a storage stool or coffee table into a spanking box By adding eye screws, you’ll be able to attach your restraints as well as store all your fancy stuff if you have guests over (or if you just want to keep it tidy).
A Simple Chair The possibilities are endless. Massage bed Same here.
Attend some yard sales or auctions to pick up some great items at affordable prices, such as mirrors, rugs, interesting furniture, dog crates, etc.
Don’t worry about the color, you can always repaint it later.
6. Use space wisely
Start by measuring your large items and the dimensions of your room. Because, even if your room is large, you still need to plan where your items will go or if they will fit.
- Is the surrounding area easy to clean?
- Are there strong enough support points to secure the items?
- Do you want to move items frequently?
- How many people can you accommodate at one time?
- Do you have plans to purchase any other big-ticket items?
- If it’s a bed or other frame, can you (or need to) access it from all sides?
notes: Anything that will bear the weight of a person needs to be secured to studs in the ceiling or walls. If you don’t know how to do this, Go to a hardware store and ask an experienced employee how to do this.
I know it’s tempting to watch YouTube videos. But you don’t want to mess with security either. If you’re worried about blushing, don’t be. adequate There are many reasons to hang heavy objects in your home, and you don’t need to mention that this is people.
If they ask for kilos, it’s way more than the weight of the person you’re playing with.
7. Everything has a place
Make sure you have enough storage space.
These items can be chests, decorative boxes, racks or shelving units, hanging hooks, cabinets, etc. Take a look at what you have and where would be best to place it.
Cluttered dungeons are dangerous and unsexy.
8. Fill it with toys

9. Power socket
You don’t want long extension cords everywhere. They’re a trip hazard… and ugly. If you have something that needs to be plugged in (like a sex machine), make sure it’s close to an outlet.
It would be better if there were already plenty of sockets in the room.
It would be even better if you could find someone to help you install the sockets wherever you need them – but this is only for people with extra greenery or a lot of expertise.
