Night-Sky-Inspired Decor

Our recent move took us outside of the big city, where we can see the night sky. It has us thinking a lot about the stars, the moon (it was full on the 5th!), and all things celestial...

• 1 via Starry Night Lights
• 2 Love this bedroom with walls painted midnight blue (it's a mix of navy blue and black paint), via Country Living
• 3 Night Sky screenprint by painter Vija Celmins, via Artnet. See much more on her work at Art:21 on PBS
• 4 a midnight blue bedroom, via Shape and Style
• 5 the Full Moon sideboard, designed by Sotirios Papadopoulos, via Freshome

Wowowow. I just love the navy painted room with the white iron "headboard."

My fave is #4 . . . YUM that's a gorgeous color.

Okay, now this is something I should hate on principle, but I'm *loving* the moon credenza. Super-cool, especially if it stores a collection of Sci Fi films.

I love that credenza. Mostly I like space decor when it's photorealistic, unlike #2 which just reminds me of either new-age bs or kindergarten.

i think the photo posted above for the credenza does not do it justice, as it "glows" in the dark!!!

I'm sorry- picture number 2 needs to disappear. Not only does it look like it belongs to someone named Summer Glow Moonchild, are those STARS OF DAVID on the wall???

WTF???

this type of decor can go from "magically whimsey" to tacky in a heartbeat. That said, I think kids love it...

I think #4 is BM- Gentlemen Grey which is such a dramatic rich color paint

ABC123, nothing is WRONG with a Star of David, except unless your theme is "Jewish Star Wars," six pointed stars do not belong in the night sky.

Seriously. This is not the Chanukkah Room.
