Why Space-Themed Rooms Work
A space-themed bedroom doesn’t just look cool—it nurtures imagination, curiosity, and a sense of wonder.
Kids love to explore, ask questions, and dream big. Whether it’s identifying planets, pretending to float in zero gravity, or learning about black holes, your child will feel inspired to explore both outer space and their inner world.
And if you’re worried about growing out of the theme? Start with changeable elements like art, bedding, and lighting that can evolve as your child grows.
Stunning Space-Themed Walls
Walls are a great place to start with space-themed room decor. It’s an effortless and affordable way to set the foundation for a room full of space adventure.
1. Galaxy Wallpaper
Go big with a bold galaxy mural that sets the scene instantly. Use rich navy or midnight blue paint to create the perfect base color for this cosmic backdrop and add decor that brings out elements found in the mural.
Murals with oversized illustrations of Jupiter, Mars, and Earth are perfect for captivating young minds.
2. Wall Decals
Use removable decals of rockets, planets, and stars for easy decorating. Consider constellation stickers – they are subtle and educational, and add a sparkly, educational touch.
You can even take it up a notch using glow-in-the-dark paint to help constellations stand out even more.
3. Space-Themed Wallpaper Panels
As an alternative to traditional murals, you can purchase space-themed wallpaper. It’s easy to add and switch out depending on what your tiny space traveler likes.
Get them involved too! This is a perfect opportunity for their creative input – try giving them a few wallpaper choices and let them pick their favorite.
4. Paint for Depth
Choose deep, rich tones like purple or dark blue to mimic deep space. If you’re feeling daring, add chalkboard paint to one wall (think accent wall style) and let your kids draw their own rocket paths and starscapes.
Out-of-This-World Furniture
Don’t just stop at walls. Space-themed furniture is a must, especially if you’re looking to go all out. From bedding to chairs, these details are sure to send your kids into orbit.
5. Rocket Ship Bed
Use this statement piece as the command ship for dreams and playtime fuel. Kids will love jumping into a fun, yet cozy bed, but first, they’ll need a chance to play space pirates before their bedtime stories.
6. Planetary Crib for Babies
There’s also something for your littlest space explorers. Start your future astronaut off right with a planetary crib featuring plush planets and mobiles.
7. Glow-in-the-Dark Bedding
Pretty much every kid loves things that glow-in-the-dark, so why not make their room feel like they’re on the coolest planetary exploration with stars and planets on bedding that light up at bedtime.
8. Astronaut Bean Bag Chair
Your kids will love this cozy and thematic seating that doubles as décor. Create a space-themed reading nook in the corner of their room and use the bean bag chair as a way to kick up the “weightless” space vibes.
Stellar Accessories
Accessorize your kids’ room with lights and stars to add a little more detail and a lot more adventure.
9. Big Moon Night Light
If you want to add a simple touch to your kid’s room, a soft, glowing moon night light will do the trick. It adds magic and comfort, and gently illuminates other celestial aspects of the bedroom at night.
10. Spaceship Curtains
Another simple, affordable and easy room addition are curtains. Opt for curtains featuring rockets, stars, and galaxies.
Want to keep the nighttime vibes anytime of day? Try blackout curtains with a cosmic print for sleep and dreamy visuals.
11. Glow-in-the-Dark Ceiling Stars
Does your kid love star gazing? Turn their room into a starry dream! Glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars are our favorite because they’re a classic way to illuminate your kid’s room, affordable and fun.
12. Plush Planet Toys
Let your kiddo cozy up after a long day of space travel to decorative plush planet toys – some ideas are stars, rockets, planets, and more.
Themed Zones for Play and Learning
Cultivate curiosity and learning with dedicated space-themed spaces for your kids to enjoy their love for faraway galaxies while being productive little space cadets.
13. Command Center Desk
Create a space for homework with space-themed desk accessories like peel-and-stick space-themed paper for their desk and planetary pens.
Consider even turning this area into a science lab corner, encouraging STEM learning with a telescope and planet posters.
14. Reading Nook with Star Pillows
Create a dedicated space for your little astronauts to read their space-themed books under fairy lights. Bonus: Decorate a small bookshelf with space-themed peel-and-stick paper.
15. Space-Themed Play Rug
This simple bedroom addition serves as the perfect foundation for play with your kid’s favorite space vehicles and moon rovers.
Creative DIY Touches
Let your creativity shine with these DIY space-themed room ideas. They’re also perfect for kids to contribute their unique touches, from paintings to photos.
16. DIY Rocket Lamp
Create a rocket lamp with a decorative lamp base with fins and a cone for lift-off vibes. Need a helping hand? Have the kids add drawings or fun stickers to the lamp base for a personalized touch.
17. Hand-Painted Planets
Add your artistic flair to walls with hand-painted planets. If you’re not an artist, stencils can create a solid base for painted pieces. Don’t forget this is a group project, so get the kiddos involved!
18. DIY Rocket Tent
Save the most exciting interstellar explorations for a rocket themed tent. Use PVC pipe and fabric to create this cozy hideaway and space-themed fabric. Include starry pillows and a moon-shaped rug.
19. Space-Themed Growth Chart
Track your little one’s height from Earth to the Moon with this idea.
20. Painted Ceiling Fan
If you already have a blank ceiling fan canvas to work with, all you need is paint (maybe some stencils) and brushes. Consider designing each blade as a different planet.
Tips for Creating a Space-Themed Room
Stick to a Palette: Colors like navy, silver, deep purple, and black for an outerspace feel.
Add Light Play: Projectors, fairy lights, and lamps to display stars and planets after dark.
Go Easy on Budget: Many ideas (like wall decals or DIY starscapes) can be done for a low cost.
Shop Small Businesses: Find themed accessories through curated shops for unique finds.
