Sun, moon, and stars are not only popular motifs for children but are also currently seen in numerous designs. On walls, ceilings, or even lights, the universe flows directly into living spaces. Looking for inspiration? myHOMEBOOK presents six stellar design ideas.
Clearly, a certain enthusiasm for astronomy has taken hold in recent years, without veering into the esoteric. Iconic shapes of the moon, stars, and planets have been making their way into living spaces for some time. Disguised as wall decor, lighting, or home textiles, they subtly exude pure space flair. myHOMEBOOK presents some stellar design ideas for your home.
The Different Moon Phases on the Wall
The moon, with all its phases, is currently a frequent sight. From waxing to waning, it adorns canvases or even entire wall surfaces—often directly above the headboard. Not only is interest in astronomy growing, but the minimalist and simple moon designs are also considered an appealing choice of motif.
Stellar Lighting
Its spherical shape and rugged surface texture make the moon perfect for lighting in living spaces. The simple, galactic design of such a moon lamp is currently in high demand—even without any direct reference to the universe. Whether as a small bedside or larger floor lamp, it always gives the impression that a full moon has just risen in your home. Some models even allow the (moon)light to change color.
A Toast to Constellations
Besides the moon, the universe offers other stellar designs. Stars, in the form of various—more or less—well-known constellations, are currently often seen on wall posters and some home textiles. Starry skies cover entire bed linens, wall tapestries, and throws. Individual stars or constellations are perfect for pillows or framed as standalone images.

Showcasing the Solar System
Another inspiration from the vastness of space is making its way to Earth, or rather into living spaces: our solar system. This is also a popular motif on prints. If it doesn’t appear in 2D as art prints or paintings, it works well in 3D as a mobile. Ceiling lights in this form have been in high demand for some time. What better model for this than our solar system?

Graphics with Galaxies
Entire galaxies in beautiful color arrays on a black background make a striking graphic print in living spaces. Dreaming and fascination couldn’t be closer than with a motif like this, which also works well as a galactic design on bed linens and blankets. Even more lifelike would be a thin cloth with a galaxy print hanging from the ceiling as a canopy in the bedroom.
Dreaming with Telescope and Globe
Where there are moons, stars, and galaxies, a telescope shouldn’t be far away. Whether merely as an accessory or a beloved instrument of amateur astronomers, such a device always carries a dreamy note. Similarly, a globe, which constantly fuels wanderlust with its mere presence in the room.
