The British-born designer, sort of a Mary Poppins-esque butt plug advocate if you will, had been an interior designer for 20 years before a client inquired about a sex room.
“I thought, ‘Why not?'” she says, adding that she wanted to change the perception of sex rooms, which are often considered “dirty and disgusting”.
“They can be beautiful, they can be luxurious, and they can be high-end,” she says.
In the series — which premieres on the streaming service on Friday, July 8 — Rose talks to couples about their sex lives and fantasies, then builds their own dream sex rooms in their homes.
“I want them to be open with me and explain to me about their own personal sex lives…sex together or if there are other people involved,” Rose says. “So I really need to know what their sex life is like if there are any problems or what they want a sex room for. Do they want it as an experience? Do they want it as a fantasy room? So, you know, I get into the core questions.”
Rose hopes the series will encourage couples to open up to their partners about their desires. She emphasizes that you don’t need a separate room to improve your sex life.

“It’s okay to talk about sex,” she adds, “If you want a sex room, go ahead. And, you know, look, if you want to be sexual, don’t be ashamed of saying so.
“If you want to try new things, new experiences, new fantasies… Again, don’t be ashamed to talk about it.”
