To infinity and beyond…

We love a ‘theme’ room and this space interiors inspo is certainly no exception.
Transport kids to a galaxy far, far away and get ready to inspire a new generation of explorers - from stargazing to space travel and beyond.
Follow our guide to creating a simple and effective interior, with some creative ideas and clever hacks for a look that really is ‘out of this world’.



To boldly go…

The easiest way to add instant impact is to go for a colour scheme on the walls. Don’t be afraid to go bold - this will be the base for you to build on, so think ‘bigger picture’.

Paint colours such as dusky blue, navy, grey, muted red and - if you’re feeling brave - black, all work well. Plus, they hide a multitude of sins, like little hand prints, just for example. You don’t have to go the whole hog either -  painting one feature wall or just the bottom half of a wall is brilliantly effective too, as shown here.

We love a ‘theme’ room and this space interiors inspo is certainly no exception.Paint can be a bit of a minefield - there’s just so much choice. But, thankfully, DIY stores like good old B&Q have come to our rescue, with in-house mixing services and tester pots for you to take home and try out before you splash out! How to use the Valspar paint mixing service | Ideas & Advice (diy.com).

If you’re feeling flush, Farrow and Ball really do have some lovely options. Check out De Nimes No.299, or Light Blue No.22, as used in the above image. They have a whole section dedicated to children’s rooms on their site too. Very handy Children's Rooms (farrow-ball.com). And, it goes without saying that the quality really is second to none. 

With mucky little hands around, paint durability is key. It’s a kids room after all. So, waterproof and wipe clean are always a good option and may save you from a regular ‘re-paint’/touching up the wall job.

If you're finding the vast choice of paint colours overwhelming, we have listed our favourite brands and shades below - all of these paints coordinate beautifully with our space themed collection - whether you're painting them on the wall, creating an IKEA hack or up-cylcing an old piece of furniture:
