How to Build a Sex Room
What's the Story?
HOW TO BUILD A SEX ROOM is an unscripted series featuring ordinary couples hiring an interior designer to give them erotic home makeovers. British luxury interior designer and intimate space expert Melanie Rose meets with couples looking to put more spice into their marriage. After asking her clients some probing questions about their personal styles, along with their sexual pleasures and desires, Rose conceptualizes a one-of-a-kind room, which is then built by contractor Mike and his team. From sensual honeymoon-type suites to hip rock n' roll dungeons, each space is built to help make fantasies into realities.
Is It Any Good?
This unconventional home makeover series features the design and construction of different types of sophisticated pleasure rooms. It discusses the structural requirements of the build, and reveals how Melanie Rose makes them into beautiful and unique high-end spaces that suit her client's tastes. However, much of How to Build a Sex Room is focused on sex positivity, celebrating each couples' desire to explore, push boundaries, and enjoy their intimate moments. The entertainment value also comes from the blunt conversations about sexual proclivities and spotlighting the various paraphernalia in each room. Adding to this are the professional demonstrations of how to use many of these objects. All of this is offered in a light-hearted and unapologetic context. There are moments when it gets to be a little much, but that doesn't keep this design show from being a decidedly guilty pleasure for adults.
