Constellation Wallpaper

Constellation wallpaper is a wall covering that maps stars and the lines drawn between them. It gives a room a calm, deep night sky. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size.

Constellation Wallpaper in Australian Homes

There is a local angle here that people enjoy. The southern sky has its own star groups, and the Southern Cross is the one everybody looks for. A chart drawn from this half of the world reads differently to a northern one, and children pick up on it fast.

Bright rooms need some thought. Strong daylight washes out the faintest stars, and those are the ones doing the work. On a wall that takes full sun, choose a design with fewer and larger stars.

• Nurseries: a dusty blue sky with low contrast.
• Kids' rooms: a full chart with named star groups.
• Ceilings: a map above the bed, seen last at night.
• Studies: a deep navy ground behind the desk.

Scale, Depth and Lighting

A night sky needs room to breathe. Crowd it and the effect dies. On a small wall, take fewer and larger stars with plenty of dark space between them. Lighting matters just as much. One overhead bulb flattens the wall, so use lamps at different heights. Our space wallpaper range works the same way.

Rooms That Suit a Star Map

A child's room is the obvious one. The pattern gives them something to find at bedtime, and it does not date the way a cartoon theme does. A main bedroom takes it well too, in a deeper ground with fine stars. Home offices and media rooms suit the darker versions, where the wall reads calm rather than busy. Ceilings are the wildcard. A star map overhead in a nursery is worth the extra work.

What to Pair It With

Keep the rest of the room quiet. Plain bedding, one timber tone, and soft lighting. Brass and warm metals suit the navy and charcoal grounds. Skip busy rugs and a second pattern. The wall is doing the work.

Choosing the Ground Colour

Near-black is dramatic and suits a room used after dark. Deep navy is the safe middle. Dusty blue and soft grey are gentle enough for a nursery. Cream with gold stars reads warm rather than moody. For colour and nebula detail, see our galaxy wallpaper range.

A Note on Dark Walls

Deep grounds are honest about a bad wall. Dents and old patches show up fast. Fill and sand first. Peel and stick suits renters in Sydney or Melbourne, since it lifts off without damage at the end of a lease.
