decorating pole room

pole-twista started this discussion · 2/23/2009

I wanted to post this elsewhere but page not loading I am starting to decorate my pole room and the first thing I am looking for is a large mirror right now I have small ones and some tall skinny ones I am looking for one like Veena has in her new videos (although doesnt have to be that large) does anyone know of any web sites or stores that might have large mirrors at a reasonable price? also looking for websites that show exotic decorating ideas basically don't want a website full of flowers, bookshelves, ect just trying to get some ideas how to spruce up the space its used for poling only so can get a little crazy 🌈 👽 💣

Buy some sliding closet doors from home depot. you can get a pair for like 70. Tall, framed mirrors to lean against the wall. Or you can always hire a glass man to come and mirror your walls floor to ceiling. Personally, I would so paint the frames my detail color and get a really sexy light fixture. I'd also put up a nice tasty wall mounted shelf for my pole shoes, and maybe another when I had more, staggered. My pole area doesn't have windows, so I'd probably hang curtains so I could pretend I had windows. Here's where I'd get it all homedepot.com for the mirror doors. lightinguniverse.com for my track lighting fixture.... home depot also has a good lighting selection overstock.com for window treatments, 'cause they usually have a megaselection. OH. And I have this fantasy of mounting a straight back chair on my wall that I can take down for chair stuff.

Oh what great ideas!! I will def be checking out those websites ya my room is in the attic and although it's like a regular room, the sides of the room (length wise) has slanted walls so would be easier to lean mirror against wall rather than have mirrors on the wall i also really need a way to store clothes shoes I am actually looking for shoes even though the deals online are amazing, since I can't try it on I'd rather buy in person I am having a hard time finding stores around here that sell "exotic wear" any idea how to locate thoses kinds of stores in your own local area? I tried local.com but nothing might just be there really none around here they have a couple nice stores in RI, but that's 30-35mins drive well any help would be appreciated and thanks again for the great ideas! 😀 ☀️

hmm not sure what kind of lighting your looking for, if its decorative or for a lot of light. but amazon.com has a lot of great stuff....i buy everything on there! and usually i'll go to the store and find out what size i take in a certain brand of shoe, then buy the one i want on amazon b/c it is soooo much cheaper. heres a couple things i liked, one expensive but cute, didnt really know what u were looking for. http://www.amazon.com/Lights-Multi-Color-Christmas-Decoration/dp/071414214X/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1236381483&sr=1-25 http://www.amazon.com/Pastel-Multi-Color-Rainbow-Chandelier/dp/B000ZD8D1A/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1236381764&sr=1-17 I too live about 30 minutes from RI and there is a store about 20 minutes away from me, although you may be 30 minutes away in the opposite direction, who knows. i live in MA...where are you from? I only know of one store in my area.

oooo and also amazon has strobe lights, fog machines, colored disco lights.....which are all a lot of fun! i got a mini strobe for about $10 on amazon. its basic and really small, but it works good in the small room i have!

I wish I had a room to decorate in. My pole is stuck out in my unheated garage since my house is all vaulted ceilings. I'm going to hand some curtains around the area though so I don't have to look at the car or cement walls.

Get photos of polers who inspire you and stick them up on the wall 😀
kerrierou · 3/8/2009
Great idea LittleMissLola! i love it! i may just put some up in my bedroom for inspiration (although i pole in my dining room when my parents are at work and im off school...i dont think they'd appreciate it if i put them up in there!) lol

believe me my room was a mess its a room in the attic took alot of work to make it look like an actual room i say lighting goes along way i like string lights (and of course blacklights) if you can find a couple big mirrors that helps too any room has potential just have to get creative 😬 🏛️

i miss my pole room T_T i was given my mirror, which was a mirror they had in their closet door ^.~ and then i had halloween (purple xmas lights) strung all over, which are now in the studio~ i used to have halloween icecicle lights i think they should still be at my moms unless i let someone borrow them. also a great sound system helps ^^ my hubs let me use his~ <3 omg i LOVE TEH BASE!!! the sound system also has a plug slot so I can plug it into my mp3 so it works awesum for the studio. im sure once u start looking around and working on it ur room is going to turn out AWESUM! cant wait to see it!!
