"head shops" as they were called, were as ubiquitous as Starbucks.
They all had a dazzling array of imported psychedelic linen wall hangings, posters, amulets, pot accessories, crystals, and every kind of incense known to man. I could pass hours in these places and often did. Today they are as scarce as civil political discourse.
I just did a Google search for "head shops" and every single listing involved cannabis. Even the Wikipedia entry on head shops spoke only of same.
Try around Harvard Square, or even Davis Square in Sommerville, but I highly doubt any exist anymore.
I bet they don't even exist in Greenwich Village or even Berkeley.
You may have to go to a plethora of places like gem store for those, and maybe import places might have the statuary and tapestries that make a room so holistic. I'm not sure where to find incense these days.
By the way, did you check out the Goddess Temple site? I've always considered that one to be a pre-eminent website for tantra.
In fact, I'll be seeing my local tantrika this weekend. I'll ask her how she gets all the accessories she has at her place. She really has an amazing set up.
Here's the link to Goddesstemple if you need it
I've always wanted a room like that. I don't know if this answers your question, but you may need to improvise (in itself potentially fun) by starting with yoga-related furnishings. For an Eastern/Indian flair, you could try Mohr & McPherson, at least they used to sell quite a bit of sheesham wood furniture including indoor swings and the like. I know people who have them installed at home. Let me know if this is going in the right direction. If so, I potentially have other suggestions.

I would very much like some literature and a tantra chair as I am morphing one of my bedrooms into something strictly sexual. Does anyone know of a local store that specializes in this area?
