| Glow in the Dark Outer Space Themed Bedroom |
When I was younger I had a glow in the dark outer space themed bedroom, and I certainly had a lot of fun with it! That's why I'm going to share my ideas for creating a great solar system and space themed bedroom with plenty of accessories that glow in the dark for extra sci-fi magic. You can find even more outer space themed bedroom decor ideas at my Squidoo page.

Contrary to what you might think, black is not a good idea for a space themed bedroom, since black makes the room appear far smaller than it is. Instead, opt for navy blue. It will look cheerier during the day and will be indistinguishable from black at night.
We want our space bedroom to glow in the dark, and an easy way to do this is to pick up a pack of glow in the dark stars, moons and planets and stick them all up. Most packs now come with a life time glow guarantee, which is certainly better than when I was a kid!
You can pick up loads of space themed posters online. I had one with a list of all the constellations on my door, a bit like this one, which had the bonus of being educational as well as pretty. There's also plenty of space and rocket themed wall decals for you to experiment with if you still have blank spaces on your child's wall.
Outer Space Floors

If you've gone for a very dark shade of navy blue for the walls, you should get the carpet or laminate flooring to be as light as possible to avoid the room appearing too small. If you've gone for a lighter navy blue or another light shade of blue, you might be able to get away with a dark blue carpet. Either way, there are lots of space themed rugs available for you to spice up the floor of your child's space themed bedroom, such as the one above. Experiment!
Outer Space Lighting and Ceiling Decorations

As for lighting, there are some really cool fixtures out there, from incredible novelty ones like the one above, to projector lights that shine the images of stars and planets onto the ceiling while lighting the room, to awesome space themed alien table lamps. Take you pick based on what would look best with your space themed decor.

Outer Space Window Decorations
There's a couple of of cute galaxy themed curtains available online. Check out the galaxy themed curtains on the right, or these minimalist black curtains with star detail. If you have gone very heavy on the wall decorations (since you don't want the room to look too crowded) or just can't find any space curtains you like, you can always pick up a plain set of black or navy blue curtains which match your bedding, and that should look great.
Happy Decorating!
I hope you've picked up some cool ideas for a glow in the dark space themed bedroom. Finish it off with plenty of space themed toys, and maybe a Nebula Plasma Ball just for fun. Your son or daughter is sure to love their new bedroom, just as much as I enjoyed mine as a child! Remember that you can find even more outer space themed bedroom decor ideas at my Hubpages page.
