This is going to be one of the most impressive parts of your Space Themed Home Theater. There are several ways to create a “starry night” effect on your ceiling, ranging from painstakingly tedious to the more fun and wild. The first thing you’ll want to do is remove furniture from the room and cover everything with plastic. You don’t want to get paint on the walls or the floor, so take care to really perform this step well.
Next, you’ll want to paint your ceiling a nice dark blue. A navy color will make your stars pop in a more realistic manner, so we suggest the blue rather than black paint. You can also do this with varying shades of blue, ranging from light at the edges to a deep indigo in the middle.
Now, if you’re the type who likes to control your aesthetic, you may want to opt for the “painstakingly tedious” method I just mentioned. That entails using silver and/or gold paint pens to dot the stars onto your ceiling. You’ll need plenty of paint pens and a sturdy, high ladder. This method is cool for making specific constellations, which, if you’re into astrology, may be the way you want to go. Note that this will take more than several hours to complete, depending on the size of your canvas, but can be a fun project for the family.
