Small Space Solutions for a Pro Setup for Adult Creators

Nov 25, 2025

A question I see brought up quite often and I don’t see always addressed from a real life perspective is: how am I supposed to run a full fledged business with absolutely zero floor space to do so. Small space solutions to the rescue!

I am personally incredibly Lucky in that I now have my own small 100 ft office in which I have my studio. That 100 ft office used to also be mine and my partner’s bedroom and my studio at the same time. So I have the space saving hacks down! I figured I could share them with you now! We’re going to cover some of the equipment that saved my ass and my floor space, some of the setup that I know utilize to maximize and optimize my space, and some tips and tricks that can help you make use of every square foot you have.

Layout Matters

Layout blueprint that does not fight you

Carve 3 wall touching zones so your center stays open.

Desk zone on a short wall, aim for 18 to 24 in deep. If you run a monitor or keyboard tray, 24 in is the ergonomic sweet spot. I have my giant desk (hey, it was free!) tucked into an alcove and I use it for video meetings, my makeup station, and work station.
Bed zone on the long wall or tucked into a corner. If you are performing sexual acts in custom content or live services, you are going to need a bed. This will be the item to take up the most space, but ya know we got tips for that later on.
Shoot zone with as close to a 6 by 6 ft footprint near the cleanest wall or by a window that you can control. Try and keep this zone clean and clear for last minute custom photo orders.

Maintain a walking lane.

A continuous 24 in path from door to bed to desk to shoot space is the bare minimum for one person. Keep as much open space on the floor as possible. Store up, not out.

Put everything that needs to move on wheels.

You can buy wheel sets off Amazon and that giant desk that is in the way is now mobile. You should be able to swap scenes in under 2 minutes without lifting heavy gear.

Create zones within your blueprint

Use different backdrops, bedding, drapery, or flooring to create a sense of multiple zones within your space. This not only helps bring variety to your content, it can also help keep you organized within your studio.

To do this I purchased false wood flooring (foam), found here on Amazon. Not the worlds best quality, I replace it about yearly. But I beat it to shit and it is a great renter friendly solution.

Furnish Smart

Bed choices that free floor space

Remember when I said that bed was going to be the biggest suck of your space… I am not kidding there. But here are some potential options!

Wall bed or cabinet Murphy bed. Folds up and becomes a clean backdrop. Typical cabinet depths are around 18 to 30 in, so you can size your wall run with confidence.
Loft bed. Park a desk or rolling carts under it. Tall loft frames range roughly 65 to 72 in high, and some adult frames offer about 55 to 67 in clearance under the deck, which is enough for carts and most seated work. Check ceiling height and leave plenty headroom above the mattress to be able to work. Clip your light ring and tripod to the edge of the bed railing for filming.
Daybed with storage drawers. Reads like a couch on camera and swallows props.
- This is what I went with and am so greatful for. This was a cheap, versatile option for my studio. I grabbed this frame off Amazon.
Foldable twin sized platform frame with bins. Cheapest way to snag 12 to 14 in of hidden storage. Trust me on twin sized. Depending on your space, that may be all that is functional.

A desk that disappears on command

Go shallow or flip up. A 48 by 18 in wall desk works for laptop tasks, and a 24 in depth is a safer bet for keyboard, mouse, and monitor distance.
Pegboard or rail system above the desk. Mount mic arms, clamps, and shelves so the surface stays clear. Keep your cameras, mics, and other expensive gear up on the shelves, off the ground.
Clamp a monitor arm. It keeps the desktop usable for video meetings, recording content, etc.
Rolling file pedestal. Doubles as a printer stand, rolls out of frame and under the desk when you shoot.

Storage that climbs the walls and travels

16 in deep shelving to the ceiling with labeled bins for lenses, mounts, toys, props, and wardrobe.
Over the door organizer for cables, batteries, lingerie, toys.
Under bed long bins for tripods, light stands, sliders, pleasers and un-foldable costumes
Shoe racks and heavy duty ziploc bags for lingerie storage.
- I bought a simple hanging shoe rack, similar to this, to store my lingerie and it is a lifesaver. The lingerie itself is folded into bags, labeled, organized and stored for easy grab and go later.
Peg boards are your friend. Use them to hang everything from leashes to crops to chords.

Studio & Shooting Set Up

Backdrops that live on the ceiling

Plain white walls can only do so much for so long. Eventually switching it up will be important. But you don’t need bulky backdrops for this!

Triple ceiling curtain track. Run sheer, neutral, and a color pop curtain, backdrop, or fabric on separate tracks for instant scene swaps.
- For a even more budget friendly, landlord-hated option, ya can do what I did. Tack some curtains on the ceiling. Fold up the ones you are not actively using. Multiple backdrop options, no space taken up and little install.
- For curtains for a backdrop you can use anything. Here is a iridescent example and a sheer white example (what is in the back of all our youtube videos!)
Retractable projector screen. Treat it as a pull down, mounted to the ceiling, that pushes back up when not in use.

Lighting that is thin, cool, and vertical

Edge lit LED panels and slim tubes on walls or ceiling. LEDs throw far less heat than incandescent or CFL, which matters in a tiny room.
- I have a single window and NO overhead light in my studio. To combat this I have multiple different LED light strips running. Curtain lights in my shooting space and strips across the perimeter of my ceiling.
Simple three point logic for shooting content. If you can, have three points of light. If three tri-pods and lights take up too much space, consider these two options. If I had to break down to only two lights, it would be these: Neewer RGB LED Ring Light & P96L RGB Video Light by SmallRig
- Why 3 point logic? Watch this video for the rundown.
Smart bulbs or smart plugs. Utilize lighting options for looks like warm cozy, bright neutral, and neon accent.

Cable and power sanity

Mount a master surge strip at waist height. This keeps cords off the floor, reduces trip risk, and lets you maneuver your space without playing ho scotch over cords.
Wrap color coded hook and loop ties on every cable, and store duplicates in a rapid reset pouch.
Mount battery chargers vertically so you can see charge status at a glance. Use peg boards and stick on O-rings.
- For example my charging blocks for my lights hang on command hooks and have this stuck to the back to hang them from.
Run a single cord line along the baseboard and keep walkways clear of cords to avoid trip hazards.
- Cord covers adhered to the baseboard keeps a neat and tidy look and keeps you from eating the floor when tripping.

Heat and airflow that do not ruin audio

Stay LED only to reduce heat load in small rooms.
A quiet fan on the floor, angled past you, not at you. This reduces rumble and hair noise.
If the space runs muggy, add a mini dehumidifier.
to be blunt, If anybody here finds the magical answer for this, please let me know. I do not have Central AC and it gets hot in the summer and turning it off during sessions is brutal.
- If you just cannot turn off the noise, and you just have to have it be on film, here’s a tool that can help wipe out just about any background noise.

Final Thoughts

A very small shooting space or studio is not the end of the world nor is it something that even has to slow you down. With these small space solutions at hand, keeping your layout in mind, furnishing smart, and planning vertically rather than horizontally, a small studio can still bring big wins!
