The theme of space excites man from time immemorial. Perhaps this is the most hidden area, to study which lacks technical capabilities even in the age of progress. It is for this reason that she beckons with her mystery, provoking fantasies to work. Cosmic motifs in the interior create a stable illusion of weightlessness, a person feels like a small grain in the abyss of fantastic beauties of the Universe. Design in this style is adjacent to futurism, which often imitates the panoramas of Martian cities and the ruins of alien civilizations. Let's try to figure out what rules are followed to create an unearthly apartment.
Designing such a design is not so simple. Wall murals with the image of the Galaxy alone will not be enough. All elements of the interior picture should be tied to the basic cosmic principles:
The prospect of endless space.
A lot of black, white and blue combined with a bright spectrum.
Weightlessness and lightness.
Maximum technological stuffing.
The abundance of diffused, cold light.
Practicality, space saving.
Accessories that seem to have just arrived on Earth with the last shuttle.
If you adopt these basic principles, then the interior of the apartment will turn out to be non-trivial and impressive. By the way, the theme of space does not have to be embodied in all rooms. This star style will become an organic continuation of hi-tech, modern, minimalism, futurism, techno and fusion, where sometimes the incompatible is combined. Each room can reflect unique motifs, but together they will create a single cozy composition at home.
Cosmic colors and shapes palette
As mentioned above, in the space interior there is a lot of black and blue. Their combinations with steel gray prevail, which resembles cosmonaut spacesuits and spacecraft lining. Also, the darkness of the depths of the Universe is diluted with red, yellow, blue, purple. Any color combinations with black and blue, where the latter occupy more than 90% of the space, will look simply cosmically delightful in the interior picture. If you intend to use a large amount of decor, then the walls are painted or glued with plain wallpaper. Preference is given to shades of the ocean: from deep blue to gentle azure. If the furniture is sparse, then you do not limit yourself in the color palette using a neutral background with specks of white stars and blurry outlines of distant galaxies.
Ceiling decoration
The ceiling is an ideal canvas for drawing panoramas of the starry sky or zodiac intricacies.Pictures are often lowered onto the walls, forming a two-dimensional panorama. Luminous stickers are considered the most budget option. During the day they accumulate solar energy, and in the evening give it in the form of pleasant, cold radiation. Ceiling painting with fluorescent paints is a more expensive and complicated option. Naturally, in order to achieve an image as similar to the original as possible, you must have the talent of an artist. Otherwise, you will have to hire a professional who will paint the surface. Pigments and phosphor, which is absolutely safe, are added to the composition of paints. For this reason, you can even paint the ceilings in the children's room.
If, according to the design idea, the room is a cabin of a spaceship or an orbital station, then the top is decorated in white and silver colors with decorative cross beams. The element is mounted from drywall - an inexpensive, but easy to use material. Hidden niches are designed under the ceiling to accommodate sources of cold, diffused light. Not a single space interior is complete without this additional element. A more expensive option is a stretch ceiling, which will fit into the interior with a stylish detail.
Stickers can be made by yourself. Enough special luminous paper, scissors and stencils or imagination. Making a children's room can turn into a fascinating process if you also bring a child to it.
Space floor
The flooring should be practical and no frills. Preference is given to a laminate and a parquet board. From the colors choose:
The black;
Blue;
Metallized gray;
White;
Light brown (in exceptional cases).
The most impressive is the mirror bulk floor. If cold light is pouring from the ceiling, it will appear in such a surface and complement the general unearthly atmosphere.If we are talking about a bedroom, where I would like to keep some kind of softness, then the floor is covered with a soft carpet with a pile of medium length. Tones are selected from the limited palette above.
Universe and walls
The best material for wall decoration in space motifs are considered modern types of wallpaper: with photo and 3d effect. The first is a colorful panorama, a picture that is applied on a paper or more durable vinyl base. The second, in addition to simple stereoscopic pictures, are represented by more complex options: fluorescent and LED models. They are expensive, but the spectacular and incredible ability of the material to convey the relief is worth it. Fragmented 3D wallpapers are suitable for simulating the porthole of a spaceship through which you can observe the expanses of the Universe or the landscape of other planets. A cheaper option is to paint the walls.
One side of the room always remains neutral to balance the room’s palette. It can be simply plastered or pasted with light wallpaper, and at night can be used as a screen for a projector. By the way, this same option is also suitable for a simple, white ceiling.
Space furniture
It is worth abandoning standard headsets with which the design of the room will become easier, but more boring. Select furniture individually based on its practicality. Beds, cabinets, shelves and tables of dark, light wood, metal or plastic should be simple and without frills. If you can afford it, then use narrow bunks, as in tight cabins. Textiles exclusively monophonic or with a small star speck. Organically on sofas and armchairs will look genuine leather in light shades. Forget about ornaments, flowers and other cute details of the usual decoration of apartments. It is advisable to use a large amount of silver metal or its imitation.The furniture adheres to simple geometry: sharp corners, curved lines, complex shapes. All this once again proves how strongly the cosmic style is intertwined with futurism.
Light and space
Lighting devices will compete with each other in the originality of performance. Space style does not recognize the usual chandeliers and sconces. The main sources of light that are aimed at demonstrating the beauty of the interior are usually carefully hidden in decorative niches. With the onset of darkness, they scatter a cold blue, violet or green glow. Instead of an ordinary chandelier, an original ball in the shape of a moon or a planet is installed on the ceiling. The composition of such spheres that differ in colors, sizes and hang from the ceiling at different heights looks extraordinary. Such an installation will symbolize the solar system. When choosing fixtures, they rush to extremes: only simple or intricate forms. Here motives intersect with minimalism and hi-tech. Lighting devices that are used in these styles are also suitable for space in your home.
Do not be afraid to use spotlights. If the room has a bulk floor or stretch ceiling, they will double the effect of "stars" scattered throughout the room, as if in a planetarium.
Universal decor and accessories
In interior decoration resort to the principles of minimalism. The decoration of the room usually more than compensates for the shortage of accessories. The bed is covered with a star blanket, and miniature astronauts, models of shuttles and orbital stations, simulations of small planets and entire installations of solar systems are placed on open shelves. In the kitchen, futuristic spheres that look like large drops of mercury are used as decor. They are suspended from the ceiling or half-attached to the walls: supposedly such a drop “stuck” in the partition.
Use a large number of household appliances with chrome surfaces. The more visually complex its design, the better.Space style loves high technology, without them in a vacuum can not do. In this case, they act not only as functional elements, but also as stylish accessories. Windows are closed by blinds so that the opening does not seem too “naked”, long curtains are hung on the sides in a neutral color floor without a picture.
Space room for a boy
The space interior in the nursery is a chance not only to captivate the child with astronomy, but also the opportunity to settle him in a real fairy tale. Girls may also like this interior, but they prefer princesses and medieval castles more. The highlight of the interior will be a telescope on a tripod, which will comfortably sit on a table. If there is a decorative window or hatch on the ceiling, then a metal staircase is installed in the room so that the young astronaut can easily get to them. For children with several tenants, bunk beds are installed. Furniture is chosen multifunctional and compact: the work area is combined with places for storing things and a recreation area. Remember the main characteristic of the style - its practicality. If the room imitates the cabin of the ship, then it is decorated with decorative semicircular arches from drywall. They will give the room a resemblance to the original. The wall is decorated with the installation of relief hemispheres, which depict the solar system with the astronaut in free flight. For the walls and ceiling, blue tones are chosen, and the furniture is decorated in white and gray.
Conclusion
Astronautics is still one of the most complex, but romantic, navigational sciences. Only a few, after a tough competition, become part of this profession. Since the Soviet triumph of Gagarin in space, almost every second boy in his childhood dreams of conquering at least a piece of the infinite Universe. Famous American writers Herbert Wells and Ray Bradbury contributed to the popularization of astronomy and the practical study of the starry sky.The first made a splash with his work on the invasion of Martians on Earth at the end of the 19th century. The success was reinforced by the scandalous radio show of the novel by the namesake of the writer, who inspired many Americans that what was happening was a reality.
The second is known for creating a romantic image of the same Martians in their Chronicles. Unfortunately, by the end of the last century, scientists have dispelled the illusions of science fiction about life on Mars, but the Universe is limitless, and life can exist in its most hidden corners. In our country, the theme of space travel was revealed by Kir Bulychev. His popular series of works about a girl from the future inspired filmmakers to shoot a full-length picture. Cosmic motifs from literature smoothly migrated to interior design, where they found their place and continue to improve, because a person always reaches for the unknown.
