Spacecore Aesthetic - Ultimate How-to Guide with Decor Ideas

Maybe you’ve always dreamed about blasting off to the moon and taking a trip around the glistening galaxy. Or maybe your kids are fascinated with everything extraterrestrial. In either case, a spacecore aesthetic might be just what your home needs. Transforming a standard room with this out-of-this-world style can inspire your mind and get you thinking like an astronomer. All you need are some creativity and this guide to get you started.

What is the spacecore aesthetic?

The spacecore aesthetic is based on anything and everything in space, such as planets, galaxies, stars, nebulas, and moons. However, this aesthetic isn’t just about what’s in the sky – spacecore can also include the technology needed to observe and study the cosmic phenomena. Many fans of the spacecore aesthetic might enjoy retro and Space Age themes, telescopes, stargazing, astrology, and astronomy.

What is mooncore?

While spacecore involves all things related to or in the galaxy, mooncore revolves around a deep appreciation and interest for just the moon. Although it focuses mainly on the moon, those who love the dreamy mooncore aesthetic often value the stars around it too. Mooncore enthusiasts often also appreciate the effects the moon has on the solar system.

Where does the spacecore aesthetic come from?

The spacecore aesthetic draws its style from well-known visual images of the galaxy. Dark blues, purple, green, and fuschia are common colors found in space. The spacecore aesthetic uses these hues – and expands on them – to create divine astral color palettes. It also includes the patterns of stars, planets, and interstellar clouds to design gorgeous cosmic sights.

How to get the spacecore aesthetic

If you’re not sure what exactly goes into the spacecore aesthetic, take a second to close your eyes and mentally visualize common outer space elements. Need a few more ideas? Below is a list of popular space visuals to help you bring outer space home.

• Stars. No galaxy is complete without lots of shining, shimmering, splendid stars to illuminate the dark night sky.
• Moons. This cratered silver sphere does much more than cast an ethereal glow. It brings the Earth to life.
• Planets. You can’t forget about planets when designing your spacecore aesthetic. After all, without them, the solar system wouldn’t exist.
• Telescopes. Putting up stickers of stars, moons, and planets is great, but observing the solar system with your own eyes through a telescope is something else.
• Crystals. Sparkling crystals can amplify the beauty of the galaxy’s mesmerizing space objects.
• UFOs and aliens. Part of the fascination with space is the mystery of what’s out there. Let your imagination fly with the thought of UFOs and aliens blazing through the nebula.
• Constellations. These groups of stars can be fun to spot and intriguing to track – and create in your home.
• Nebulas. When interstellar dust mixes with gas, a tranquil yet captivating scene of blues, purples, greens, and reds emerges.
• Galaxies. From our Milky Way to other galaxies far away, these collections of swirling stars, and radiant dust clouds are the epitome of spacecore.
• Astronauts. Many spacecore enthusiasts dream of becoming an astronaut to step foot on a new planet and explore the depths of space.
• Solar systems. The sun, the moon, planets, and stars create our wonderful solar system that can become part of your home.
