As a home poler, you’ve probably noticed that introducing a pole into your living space can be an interesting experience, especially if you’re sharing with other people. From the things we love about our pole room to the things that drive us nuts, we cover the top 10 things home polers can relate to, and some handy tips and renovations that will totally inspire you to look at your pole room in a whole new way!
10. We go bananas over a good renovation story
If you have the means, there’s nothing more satisfying than starting from scratch and turning the pole room into a complete work of art. Julie Moran from Perth, Western Australia, shared her story of how she created her own dream home pole studio:
The renovation begins….
After – truly a work of art!
“We added the pole room as part of an extension to our existing house which took a year to plan and 18 months to build,” says Julie. “After having a small home pole space (in our shed), we decided that our vision for creating the perfect home pole room was ‘space and light’. We have 150sqm, with downlights, blacklights and natural light coming in on three sides…and, of course, three fantastic poles (we chose 38mm Pussycat Poles) and room to set- up six more if needed. Add in mirrors, high ceilings, music system, reverse cycle air-conditioning and a garden view, and all our boxes were ticked.”
“The main considerations were the West Australian heat and finding the right flooring. We were also looking for good height above the poles (which are 3.5m) as kicking the roof from past experience was something we needed to resolve. We had purpose built steel trusses made and as we were owner/builders we worked closely with all the suppliers. We had a fantastic, technically focused Project Manager to deliver the specialised requirements.”
“The advice I would share with home polers is to research and plan as much as possible. There are a number of innovative solutions that will save money in the long run. For example, we ended up using Perspex mirrors for the areas where there was no natural support available as they are lighter (and cheaper than glass mirrors). Also, buy your poles last as you will need the exact floor to ceiling height if you are getting ‘solid core’ poles.”
9. The pole takes over our living space
Whether your pole has its own devoted room or is nestled in a tight spot, the reality is a home pole tends to take up more room than we might first realise. Home polers have found weird and wonderful places to squeeze in a pole, such as the lounge room, bedroom, study area, kitchen, attic, basement and so on. It’s awesome having a pole right there to play on, but it also means people (and furniture) might be competing for your pole space, which brings us to…
8. We’ve kicked the furniture more times than we care to admit
Despite our best intentions of finding enough room for the pole, something in our space always seems to bear the brunt of a high kick or flying stiletto! Ceiling fans, lights and anything with sharp edges are particularly dangerous to collide with, so take them out first before you set up your pole! If you have limited space where stuff can’t easily be moved, Mel Nutter suggests this tip: “Use furniture to your advantage! Handstands in the hallway, large cabinet for barre work etc. If your pole area is small, use it to help you keep your transitions tight!”
7. The ceiling height might not be ideal, but we make the most of it
Even if you’re short in stature (like me), inverting on a pole can be a bit of an Alice-in-Wonderland experience. No sooner have you gone upside down than oops – there’s the roof! If you can easily plant your feet on the ceiling, try a few inverted body rolls for a bonus workout! And if you’re worried about ceiling damage, Amy Kennerly suggests adding some carpet as a buffer. A good, sturdy ceiling is essential to your safety, so always do your research before installing a pole! (Our readers recommend looking into permanent ceiling mounts if you have a tall ceiling!)
6. We love ambient lighting
Ambient lighting can really make our pole room feel special. It creates intimacy where the pole room becomes our ‘stage’ as we dance to our favourite music. We absolutely adore Angie Bee’s melting-heart neon light which she had custom-made at her local neon shop!
5. We hate nosey neighbours
Whenever a pole dancer is on full view for all the world to see, people can’t help but stop and stare. Sometimes we don’t even think about it, but other times it can be a nuisance to always have to close the blinds or curtains for a bit of privacy….Peeping Toms and potential stalkers are definitely not welcome! It’s also annoying if our neighbours complain about the noise coming from our pole room, usually from the sound of our heels banging against the floor!
4. We might be lured into skipping our pole training
3. We enjoy rolling around on the floor
The base of the pole is such a nice place to be; it’s where we like to stretch, snooze, slide around or just lie there staring up at the ceiling after a good pole rapture! If you prefer the smooth floorboard effect but don’t want the pain of tearing up the carpet, Jessica Rivers has this tip: “I got removable laminate flooring for $60 and put it myself over my blue carpet. I also needed plywood to create a more flat, stable surface before adding the laminate on top (it won’t work directly on the rug), which cost around $30. So for under $100, I got a floor I could use heels on!”
2. Everything looks better in pink (or metal, silver, purple or neon green…)
As home polers, we take great pride in giving our pole room our own bit of signature flourish, whether it’s a brightly painted wall or a unique bit of pole art that we’ve created. An inspirational quote or images from our favourite photoshoot can look gorgeous too. For a functional-yet-decorative effect, deck the ceiling edges with delicate light trimmings!
1. We have an impressive collection of flex toys (and other accessories)
The options are endless with how many flex toys we’ll introduce into our pole space: yoga balls, mats, foam rollers, blocks…not to mention the possibilities of adding in an extra aerial or two such as lyra, silks, or a swinging pole! A must-have accessory recommended by Nusaiba Al Muskari is a good quality crash mat (not ordinary pillows). “It’s based on my experience!” says Nusaiba. “I had a bad fall. If I didn’t have the crash mat, I think it would have been a different scenario!”
Thank you to all the readers who shared their favourite home poling pics and tips including S.T Shimi, Mel Nutter, Fayne Winter, Amy Kennerly, Katie King, Julie Moran, Angie Bee, Angela Hayes-Johnson and Nusaiba Al Maskari!

I read this paragraph completely concerning the comparison of most recent and earlier technologies,
it’s awesome article.
https://instantjobinterviewtools.com Auto increment
enables the user to develop a unique number to be produced whenever a
brand-new record is put in the table. CAR INCREMENT is
the key words for Oracle, AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL and IDENTIFICATION key phrase can be used in SQL SERVER for auto-incrementing.
Primarily this keyword is used to create the main secret
for the table. Normalization sets up the existing tables as well as its
areas within the data source, causing minimal replication. It is made use of to streamline a table as high
as possible while preserving the distinct fields.
If you have actually little to claim on your own, the interviewer power believe you have void to
claim. pl sql interview concerns I make myself really
feel magnificent ahead the interview begins. With this inquiry,
the recruiter will certainly evaluate you on just
how you prioritise your job listing. I eagerly anticipate functions with damien once again in the future tense.
You mightiness require a compounding of different kinds of questions in order to fully
cover the issue, and also this might deviate betwixt participants.
Prospects show up to interviews with a finish of impressing you.
A primary secret is a special kind of special secret.
A foreign trick is used to maintain the referential
link honesty between two data tables. It prevents activities that can destroy links
in between a kid and a parent table. A primary
trick is used to define a column that uniquely recognizes each row.
Void worth as well as duplicate values are not enabled to be entered in the main vital column. Nonetheless, you
could not be offered this tip, so it is on you
to bear in mind that in such a scenario a subquery is specifically what
you need. After you experience the fundamental SQL meeting inquiries, you are
likely to be asked something extra certain.
Thanks for any other excellent article. The place else may anyone get that kind of info
in such an ideal means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am
at the look for such info.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter
a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something which too few men and women are
speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I found this during my search for something relating to this.
Wow! At last I got a weblog from where I be capable of truly obtain valuable data regarding my study and knowledge.
