The Ceiling

When the walls are done, the ceiling is again another thing that should be considered. When you kid of trying to sleep, he or she sees the ceiling and hence getting an effect on the ceiling is a must. There are a number of things that can be done with the ceiling such as creating a starry night effect or also hanging planets from the ceilings.

Another great idea is to create an effect of being inside a spacecraft. For this, the walls and the ceilings can be painted in silver or grey shades and there can be windows made on the wall or the ceiling. Within the borders of the windows made, you can create an illusion of the outer space through painting or by pasting stickers.

The Upholstery

If you are decorating the walls, the ceilings, the furniture, and so on, keeping the upholstery as it is can destroy the look. You should make sure that the upholstery of the room such as the curtains, the bedsheet, and so on is complimenting the look of the room.

If you have painted the walls with dark blue, you can have curtains of the same bluish shade with sparkling stars on them. When the curtains are closed to cover the windows at night, it offers an amazing look of a constellation.

Similarly, you can have a bedsheet that has a solar system on it, if the bed is kept at the center of the room. If the bed is not on the center, you can have a bedsheet that is matching up with the walls or the ceilings of the room.

Rugs can play an amazing role while creating an illusion of a space themed bedroom. You can have a rug that is of the shape of the moon and keep it near the door.

The Lighting of the Room
