What You Will Need
Navy or Primary Blue Latex Paint
Glow-in-the-Dark Paint
Outer Space Theme Decorating Stamps
Outer Space Theme Bedding
Wallies© or other Wall Art
Solar System Model
How to Do it
Outer space themed bedding comes in a variety of colors and shades, so it best to select the design you want, before selecting paint and accessories. Many bedding sets have primary blue and navy blue backgrounds, though you can find some with white or red for a new twist.
Select a medium to dark blue color, to coordinate with your bedding. Paint the walls and, if possible, the ceiling. Using glow-in-the-dark paint and an assortment of stamps, add stars, comets, and moons.
Step Three: Add More Details
Add solar system themed Wallies© or a mural to add even more detail to your preschoolers walls and ceilings.
Often times you can purchase window treatments that match your Outer Space bedding. If your preschooler’s bedroom is small, having the same print pattern on the bedding and the drapes can be overwhelming. For smaller bedrooms, select a solid window treatment in a color that coordinates with the bedding and walls. Orange is a complementary color to dark blue. Using it on the window treatments would add an unexpected splash of color in an otherwise dark room.
Step Five: Add the Details
The possibilities are endless for this bedroom theme! Try hanging a model of the solar system from the ceiling, or adding a map of the solar system to the walls. Swap out existing dresser knobs for ones with a planet or star theme. You can also add rugs, lamps, and picture frames all with an Outer Space theme.
