Imagine lying down in the evening and instantly letting your worries drift away as you gaze into a sparkling night sky full of shimmering stars. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, you no longer have to solely imagine this picturesque scene – you can bring it to life with star ceiling lights. These one-of-a-kind lights can instantly transform your room into a magical starry sky any day, any time – even under a cloudy sky. Just follow this guide and get ready to wish upon a star.
How do I make my ceiling look like the stars?
You don’t have to be an astronaut to sleep under the stars. In fact, turning your ceiling into a euphoric night sky requires just a few fun tools. You could use stick-on glow-in-the-dark stars to place your stars anywhere you want – the ceiling, walls, bookshelf, you name it. When the lights turn off, your stars will shine. Take it one step further by painting your ceiling blue with hand-painted stars to really create a full constellation.
On the other hand, maybe you’re looking to avoid a sticky ceiling or all the labor of painting. In that case, star projectors are the way to go. Just plug in your projector, and you’ll have stars floating all around you in seconds. While some projectors shine just stars, others also immerse your space in colorful nebula clouds and auroras to make every night an adventure in space.
Benefits to using star ceiling lights
Star ceiling light projectors provide unforgettable, highly beneficial experiences whether you’re an aspiring astronomer or someone looking for the perfect meditation space. Star projectors come with all the below benefits and more:
- They set the mood. Light colors can affect your mood in various ways. Most star ceiling light projectors shine dazzling blue, red, and green hues that can promote relaxation. Combine these colors with the special effects of swirling clouds and stars, and you’ll be set for a night of pure delight. You can also switch colors as needed to set just the right vibe.
- They accessorize your room. Adding personality to your room can help it feel more like your own space. With star lights, you can elevate your room without making holes in the walls, moving furniture around, or hassling with paint. Say goodbye to boring white walls and hello to a universe of your own making.
- They’re easy to set up. Hanging planets from your ceiling and sticking glow-in-the-dark stars there too can be frustrating and time-consuming. Star projectors eliminate the need for ladders and craning your neck a ton during ceiling setup. Instead, just place your projector anywhere you want, plug it in, and voilà – stars shining bright in just seconds!
- They don’t make a mess. Since star projectors are standalone devices, they don’t leave sticky residue on the ceiling as with stick-on stars. They also don’t require any painting or permanent marks on your ceiling or walls. When you’re done using your star lights, simply turn them off and unplug – no mess left behind.
