While some may hear the phrase “bedroom necessities” and think dressers, bed frames, and rugs, we hear the phrase “bedroom necessities” and think the things you need to keep your bedroom the sexual shrine it should be.
We’ve handpicked our top 10 items to make your bedroom a place you won’t ever want to or need to leave.
Bring These 10 Things Into Your Bedroom
We like anything that gives us instant gratification and nothing invites quick, steamy fun like having a polaroid camera by your bedside table.
We challenge you to put down your iPhone and take this retro camera for a ride. Snap some photos and have your very own impromptu photoshoot; in the bedroom, the kitchen, or anywhere else you can imagine.
If you are feeling extra adventurous, we suggest taking some pics and subtly sneaking them into your partner’s gym bag, purse, or in a hidden location of your choosing. There’s no better way to turn up the heat than by planting a surprise naughty photo. Watch and wait for the fireworks to ensue.
The hottest way for you to open up your steamy sessions in the bedroom and take them to new heights may be different than what you’re thinking.
Open up to sex you never dreamed possible by opening up a Kama Sutra book. Tried and true, this guide to the techniques and pleasures of sex will truly blow your mind, body, and soul.
The phrase “ahead of its time” could not ring more true here. Kama Sutra was originally written in the fourth century by a Brahmin scholar and it only took nearly 1500 years for this sex bible to finally be translated to English. We are forever indebted to Captain Sir Richard F. Burton for giving us non-Sanskrit reading, sex loving people the opportunity to dive deep into guilt-free pleasures of the highest kind.
Get a copy for you and your partner and plan for some hot study sessions.

If you want your bedroom to be a true sanctuary, a sound machine is an absolute essential. There is nothing worse than trying to get in the mood, and having the sound of your roommate or neighbor interrupt your sexy time vibes.
To truly get in the mood, you need to feel 100% free to let out those carnal sounds, without fear of an audience (unless it’s an audience of your choosing, of course). Not to mention, having a sound machine will help you sleep more soundly.
Trust us, after a night of fun between the sheets, you will need all the rest you can get.

Sometimes the journey is better than the destination, and when you’re in the bedroom, that journey is foreplay.
While we are all about those times when you need to skip the frills and get right to it, there are times when slowing things down a bit can really turn up the heat. And what better way to bring that fire than with some massage oil.
This VISCERAL fave from Coco de Mer is infused with fig and orange blossom to bring those sensual vibes to life. With the word “enraptured” in its name, this oil will do just that, so prepare to send your lover off to cloud nine.
Don’t worry, the come down won’t be too hard — or will it?

If Cinderella lived in 2019, we imagine that she’d sprinkle a bit of sex dust in her morning smoothie.
While we can’t guarantee that an improved sex life is quite as easy as waving a wand, Sex Dust by Moon Juice is the closest thing to placing a magic spell for your sex life. Formulated with adaptogens like Shatavari, Shilajit, Maca, and Cacao, you are one sprinkle away from a more vibrant self.
These ingredients will help increase blood flow, support hormonal balance, and increase sensation. This nutrient-packed powder can be added to your coffee, tea, on top of your breakfast cereal, or even baked into your fave chocolate chip cookies.
Whether you’re in the mood to have a dance party, or just in the mood, a wireless speaker is an absolute must.
Moods are made with music, so a speaker is one detail you do not want to leave out. And this wireless Sonos one is our fave way to set whatever mood we are looking for.
This speaker is compatible with Alexa, so be careful what demands you shout out in the bedroom while this thing is on. You can also hook your Sonos up to work with other Sonos speakers throughout your home, so whatever room your romping sesh takes you into, the music will follow.
Considering this was the first sex toy granted access to the Kickstarter platform, we concluded that there must be something extraordinary about this vibrating ring.
Compared to the typical vibrator, The Fin is meant to play a supporting role rather than be the star of the show. You can take turns with your partner wearing it, as it’s designed to be mega pleasurable without being distracting. It is made of medical grade silicon, rechargeable, and has 3 vibrating speeds so you can choose exactly how to get off.
Though silk is usually saved for scarves and neckties, it’s a waste if you don’t use this luxurious fabric for its most underrated and hands-down its most pleasurable purpose: as restraints.
Whether you’re fresh meat in the world of bondage, or a highly-skilled pro, these silk ties will bring a sexy twist to life in your bedroom. Don these silk ties around your neck by day, and place them around your lover’s arms by night.
Opt for a set of two and use one as a blindfold to take away your lover’s sight and as a result, really heighten his or her other senses.
These ties are sexy without screaming “sex,” so don’t worry about accidentally leaving them out for someone to see. Or maybe you want someone to see them . . .
It’s common knowledge that our sense of smell is one of our most primitive senses. This is the same reason we all react so powerfully when we get a whiff of our favorite perfume, or a memory comes back to us just by the presence of a certain aroma. We also know that our sense of smell is majorly connected to our sexual response. With that said, no bedroom set-up would be complete without an essential oil diffuser. We suggest choosing an oil with a calm, warming scent like vanilla, amber, lavender, or sandalwood. If you are feeling old-school, incense will work just as well.
Visceral Hot Tip: Put a blindfold on your partner to enhance your sensory experience.
Mirror mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all? When the mirror is in your bedroom, you are, of course.
A mirror is an addition to your bedroom that will do so much more than show you whether your outfit choice is for public consumption. Rather, what you’ll be using your mirror for is guaranteed to not be for public consumption.
Seeing the reflection of you and your lover in the heat of the moment will make you feel like you’re starring in your own show, sans the unwanted audience. This mirror will come in handy for when your hands are otherwise occupied.
