What’s Changing and What’s Coming in 2026
As we close out the year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect, reset, and look ahead.
2025 has been one of the most intense, demanding, and rewarding years in HOM Studios’ history. The studio has grown faster than we ever anticipated, and that growth has forced us to take a proper look at how we operate behind the scenes — not just creatively, but practically.
Before anything else, one important point:
All existing bookings are completely unaffected.
If you’ve already booked, your price, access, and booking terms remain exactly as agreed.
Everything below applies to new bookings from 1st February 2026 onward.
2025: What We Built (and What You Helped Create)
This year alone, we’ve:
- Built three major new spaces: the changing rooms, the throne room and prison cell, and the medical room
- Relocated the kitchen into a smaller footprint, reserving the original kitchen space for future development
- Welcomed thousands of guests through the doors
The response has been overwhelming in the best possible way. The feedback, the respect for the space, and the way people have used the studio has genuinely exceeded our expectations.
Just as importantly, thank you for helping keep HOM Studios accountable to its own standards. This space only works because guests treat it properly, follow the rules, and care about the experience. That accountability matters more than you probably realise, and we don’t take it lightly.
Why Things Need to Change
Until now, we’ve relied on quieter periods to carry out deeper cleans, resets, and maintenance. The truth is: those quiet periods no longer exist.
Which is an incredible position to be in — and one we’re extremely grateful for — but it also means we can’t keep cutting corners on turnaround time and expect standards to stay where they are.
We love you all — but not more than we love our sleep.
Right now, we’re regularly pulling late nights to deep clean, repair, and reset the studio when it needs it. That level of effort isn’t sustainable long-term.
We’re tired. The team’s tired. And instead of letting standards slip, we’re fixing the system.
HOM has reached a point where it needs:
- clearer systems
- more breathing room between bookings
- less admin complexity
- and a structure that supports growth rather than fights it
So, we’re simplifying. Across the board.
Cleaning & Reset Time (from 01/02/26)
From February, every booking will include a fixed 2-hour cleaning and reset window between sessions.
This allows the team proper time to:
- deep clean every space
- reset rooms correctly
- restock equipment
- and ensure every guest walks into the studio at the same high standard, every single time
This change alone is essential to protecting the space long-term.
To make that viable across every booking, pricing has had to move with it.
Simplified Pricing: Everything Included
From 1st February 2026, all new bookings will include full access to the entire studio as standard.
No room-by-room pricing.
No “do we need this space or not?” decisions.
That means the throne room and medical room (previously £30 each) are now included automatically — as will any future rooms we build.
A few example prices under the new structure:
• 3 hours: £150
• 6 hours: £205
• 12 hours: £325
• 20–24 hours: £450 flat day rate
All prices include full studio access, including the throne room, medical room, and any future rooms.
Yes, prices are increasing.
We know we previously said we wouldn’t make further changes.
But by including premium rooms as standard, and future-proofing access as the studio continues to expand, we genuinely believe this delivers better overall value — while keeping the experience simpler and cleaner for everyone.
Full pricing will always be visible on the website.
Memberships: Less Noise, More Meaning
We’ve also taken a hard look at memberships and accepted something important:
We overcomplicated it.
From January, we’ll be removing the Explorer and Adventurer tiers and offering a single option:
The HOM Studios Membership
- Same perks as Trailblazer
- Now £149.99
One membership.
One set of benefits.
No confusion.
This mirrors the wider direction of HOM — fewer options, clearer value, and better systems that actually support how the studio is used.
What’s Coming in 2026
The work doesn’t stop here.
Already in motion:
- The rig room refurbishment, finishing in January, with a new floor, upgraded lighting, and additional artwork to give it a sharper, more intentional HOM Studios attitude
Coming next:
- A full bedroom redesign, shifting towards a more regal, polished, and elevated aesthetic with an entirely different vibe
- A larger, more authentic prison cell, built as a dedicated space due to popular demand
- And yes… there may or may not be an interrogation room involved in that build
- The current prison cell within the throne room will be transformed into something new — think padding, texture, and a very different kind of confinement
As mentioned earlier, all future rooms will be included in standard bookings, not charged as extras.
HOM Merch & Studio Bits
We should also mention HOM merch, because it’s very much a thing.
Some of it is genuinely useful. Some of it is essential. Some of it exists purely because it’s funny, different, or made us laugh — and honestly, that’s reason enough.
We stock practical studio bits like Vivishine, lube, and other consumables people may need. Alongside that, we also sell completely random stuff simply because it fits the space, the mood, or the sense of humour.
There’s no overthinking it and no pretending it’s something it isn’t. Sometimes it’s about convenience. Sometimes it’s about novelty. Sometimes it’s just because selling weird shit makes the studio feel more alive.
Going into 2026, that won’t change.
Useful where it needs to be.
Random where it’s funny.
Always very HOM.
Beyond HOM: Management, Community & Raising the Floor
In 2025, we also launched the HOM Studios Management Programme — a natural extension of what we’ve been building here.
Off the back of running HOM, we’ve advised and supported other studios on structure, systems, pricing, standards, and long-term sustainability. Not theory. Not guesswork. Real-world operational management based on what actually works.
People sometimes ask why we’re willing to help “the competition”.
The answer is simple: we’re not scared of competition.
When studios or dungeons fail, it doesn’t just affect the people running them — it damages the wider community. It lowers standards, creates instability, and reinforces the idea that spaces like these are disposable or poorly run. That hurts everyone.
Raising the bar across the board makes the whole ecosystem stronger. Better-run studios mean safer spaces, clearer boundaries, better experiences, and a healthier industry overall. We’d rather be part of that than sit quietly and watch standards slide.

Looking Ahead: In-Home Builds (Coming 2026)
We’re also seeing a growing demand for in-home sex rooms and private dungeons — and a common problem.
People want them, but they don’t know where to start.
They don’t know how to design them properly.
They don’t know how to balance aesthetics with practicality.
They don’t know what works long-term and what becomes a regret six months in.
That’s where we come in.
In 2026, we’ll be expanding into bespoke in-home builds — advising, designing, and building private spaces for people who want something done properly. Not gimmicky. Not amateur. Thought-through, discreet, functional spaces built with the same standards, intent, and experience we apply to HOM.
If you’ve ever fancied your own in-home sex room but didn’t know how to begin, this is where that becomes achievable.
Setting The Standard
We’ve never run HOM Studios as a casual project, a side hustle, or a “let’s see how it goes” experiment. From the very beginning, the intention has been clear: we are here to raise standards, professionalise a space that’s been allowed to drift for far too long, and redefine what studios like ours should look like, feel like, and operate as.
I’m not new to this industry. I’ve been in it for over a decade, and that experience informs every decision that gets made here. I’ve seen how spaces like this succeed, how they fail, and how quickly standards slip when growth isn’t handled properly. HOM exists because I wanted to do it differently — and do it properly.
Too much of this industry has been built on shortcuts, vague rules, inconsistent standards, and the assumption that “good enough” is acceptable. That’s never been our approach. HOM exists to prove that studios like this can be run with structure, accountability, consistency, and intent — without losing creativity, edge, or atmosphere.
Every decision we make is rooted in that mindset. Not just how the studio looks, but how it functions. How bookings are handled. How the space is cleaned, reset, and respected. How systems scale as demand increases. How guests are treated — and how the studio itself is protected.
These changes aren’t cosmetic. They’re not reactionary. They’re structural.
As HOM has grown, it’s become clear that operating at this level requires tighter systems, clearer boundaries, and the confidence to evolve rather than stand still. Simplifying pricing, building in proper reset time, removing unnecessary complexity, and investing continuously in the studio itself aren’t changes for the sake of change — they’re signs of maturity.
We’re not interested in being the cheapest option.
We’re not interested in being everything to everyone.
We’re interested in being excellent, consistently, and without compromise.
That means making decisions that protect the long-term quality of the space, the people who work in it, and the experience guests walk into every single time. It means choosing professionalism over convenience, structure over chaos, and intention over improvisation.
You’re always in safe hands here — not because we say it, but because we prove it through consistency, transparency, and standards that don’t shift depending on the day or the booking.
And that relationship works both ways.
HOM only works because the people who use it respect it. When you look after the space, follow the rules, and treat the studio properly, we notice — and we match that energy. We protect the space so it can keep being used. We invest back into it. We keep raising the bar.
These updates allow us to keep HOM sharp as demand grows. They give us the room to maintain standards without cutting corners, to invest in new rooms properly, to push creative boundaries, and to continue building something that stands apart — not just visually, but operationally.
HOM isn’t here to follow what’s already out there.
We’re here to set a benchmark.
To show that studios like this can be run with the same seriousness, discipline, and ambition as any other professional creative space — while still retaining the darkness, the edge, and the attitude that make it what it is.
This is about putting our mark on the market.
Not quietly.
Not cautiously.
But deliberately.
We’re building something solid here. Something that lasts.
Let’s build it properly.
And let’s build it together.
In Short
HOM Studios is growing.
The systems need to grow with it.
These changes allow us to:
- maintain consistently high standards
- protect the space as demand increases
- simplify bookings and memberships
- reduce admin and friction
- and keep investing in bigger, better ideas
Nothing about the soul of HOM is changing.
We’re just building something that lasts.
We’ll see you in 2026.
And who knows… maybe a second or even third HOM Studios might appear next year.
My lips are sealed.
Thank you, always, for being part of it.
