I Wanna: A Space Themed Bedroom (for a lil boy)

Bargainbabe_2 · 4 May 2005 at 4:56PM

Hi there,

We are moving soon, so my little boy has decided he wants a spaced themed bedroom.
I want to make it special but as cheap as poss.
Does anyone know where I can get any space themed stuff for his bedroom?
i.e duvet covers, curtains, rugs, ornaments, beanbags, wall hangings, anything space related really?

Thank you

Yes you can get some of these things from Homebase. They have a booklet with different kids theme designs and show you what to do. Try looking on their website or going to your local Homebase

I did my sons room as a football theme..

I've just done one of these!! And it's excellent.

My little boy is only three, so we just have a Buzz frieze, (£7 for 5m from Homebase).

Also - go to Ikea if you can. We got him a couple of wall lights (they are wall mounted but plug operated if you catch my drift). One is a moon, and one is a star and they are £4.50 each (beat that!)

Moon light

Star light

Also.....my favourite!! They do a really good planet hanging for a tenner (but it looks so cool that it's worth every penny)....

Space hanging

And they have spacey looking wall decs (he calls them his spaceship control panel) for about £3

Space panel

The light we chose was also from Ikea, I liked it as I thought it looked like a space station type thing! It's not on the web-site, but it's round with three spotlights and cost about £30.

Sorry about all the links - I have no idea how to post pictures.

He's got a half height bed with tent curtains, so we've put one of the lights underneath it so he can play in it like a cave.

As you may be able to tell, I'm really happy with it!

Thanks for the replies. Homebase is ok, but I find it a little expensive for the things I'm looking for.
When I go home next (West Mids) I will pop to Ikea. I've seen these items in there before and they are excellent, thank you for bringing them to my attention again

Asda have a kids spaced themed duvet cover set, with matching co-ordinates, such as rugs, lamps, curtains etc. Duvet Set is £4.99.

I was going to say asda too. I got a blue space theme duvet cover and pillow case for about £6 and I think the curtains were £7- bargain!

Its this one here, and its £4.87 for the duvet set and £7.87 for the curtains on the website.

Also, how about those stars/planets you stick on the ceiling that absorb light during the day and then glow for a while after the light is put off? My youngest loves those!

You could always make some planets to hang from the ceiling. Use different sized balloons and papier mache art attack style. Apart from being loads of fun for your boy It's cheap!!

Agree with that. I managed to get a pack of 50 assorted shapes....stars, moons etc....for £1 in a local pound shop last year. Kids love 'em.
