Picking out a theme for your little one’s nursery can be a daunting task. Especially in the throes of a million in other choices that comes with preparing for baby.

Why Opt for a Space-Themed Nursery?

As parents, we want to give the whole world to our little ones. Wait, scratch that! Why not give them the whole universe? If you’re a mom who is fascinated by astronomy or a dad that loves science and technology, going for an outer space-themed nursery is a fabulous idea.  The space-theme may even create a special love and fascination for the universe and beyond in your baby.

Then there’s the uniqueness – space-themed nursery ideas are a step away from baby blues and candy floss pinks.  If you want a nursery that’s edgy and cool or modern and chic, the dark moody blues and sleek blacks intrinsic to the space-theme may be just what you’re looking for.  

From a practical point of view, these dark colors can be conducive to a relaxing environment that can help your baby settle easily to sleep. However, it needn’t be cold or dull.  Different textures can create warmth and pops of color can invigorate.

Alternatively, go white and bright, with just a hint of far-off galaxies. This often works well for space-themed girl nurseries as it can feel tricky to create a feminine vibe in the cooler, darker tones.

Ready to blast off? Take a look at these space-themed nursery ideas and turn your baby’s room totally out of this world.

A little about me

Mom of 4 kids, baby sleep expert plus home organisation and kids activities and crafts

Hi, I'm Sarah

Mom of four outrageously gorgeous Littles.  Yup, four!  The twins are now two and that title still brings me out in a cold sweat… Yet I’m just as determined to give them the best without losing my mind.  I reckon it’s possible!  Most days.  

I love a challenge and have to find out they ‘why’, ‘what’ or ‘how to’  –  there are rather a lot of these when it comes to kids… 

I also love, love, love things to be neat and tidy and just so.   The Littles normally have other ideas!
