Outer-space kid's room ideas.

It's exactly fourty-two years ago today that Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon and uttered those now immortal words...'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'

Coincidentally, and please forgive my indulgence if Star Trek is not your thing, Captain Jean Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise will be born 294 years from now on July 13th...!

So how about an 'outer space' inspired room for the kids?


As with any decorating project, it pays to take some time on the overall look you want to achieve...outer space is a popular subject and ranges from retro cartoons like the Jetsons through to the ultra-stylish Avatar.

Given my choice, I'd pick a Star Trek theme...!


With a dramatic colour scheme of deep blues and silvers...
Just a tip, movie posters offer both colour inspiration and a decorative feature in the finished room...

A show-stopping piece of furniture....this shuttle-bed reminds me of the little transporters used on the starship Enterprise....

Moon inspired soft furnishings....yes, those really are cushions above!


Futuristic looking lighting.... I am loving this starship Enterprise ceiling light...

And the use of LED lighting in this hotel room is just WOWEE!!

This image is an actual artist's impression of how the living quarters on the Enterprise would look...
I could easily see this working for a teenager's room...

I'm off, in true 'trekkie' style....'Energise'...
