Starry night wallpaper is a mural of the night sky, printed across a full wall. It gives a room depth and calm. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size, so it fits corner to corner.
Why Starry Night Wallpaper Works in Australian Homes
Strong sun is the thing to plan for. A very dark sky can look flat and heavy in a bright north-facing room by midday. It comes alive again in the evening. In a shaded bedroom a deep navy holds up all day. If the room is bright, pick a mid blue or a dusk sky instead.
- Nurseries: a soft sky behind the cot, pale walls around it.
- Kids rooms: a brighter sky that still works at ten.
- Main bedrooms: deep navy with a fine dust of stars.
- Media rooms: a dark sky that cuts screen glare.
Choosing How Dark to Go
Start with the light in the room, not the design. Deep ink gives you drama. Mid blue keeps things soft. A pale dusk sky suits a small room with one window. Check your pick at night as well, since lamp light shifts a blue a long way.
Pairing It With Your Furniture
Navy sits well beside timber, rattan and linen. Those are the staples of most Australian homes. Warm white and cream stop the room closing in. Brass picks up the stars. Skip a cold grey, because it drains the warmth from a navy wall.
Styles in This Collection
You will find painted swirls, clean star maps, watercolour skies and quiet nights over hills or water. For something bolder, the wider galaxy wallpaper range brings in colour and nebula clouds. For a softer look, our star wallpaper range keeps the sky simple.
Peel and Stick or Paste the Wall
Most designs come both ways. Peel and stick is self-adhesive and removable, so it suits renters in Sydney and Melbourne. It lifts off without damage. Paste the wall suits a feature wall you plan to keep for years. Some buyers put the sky on the ceiling instead.
A Note on Rough Walls
A dark sky is kind to an uneven wall. The low contrast hides small bumps that a pale, flat colour would show up. Older Queenslanders and rendered walls gain the most from this.
Samples and Australia-Wide Delivery
Screens make a navy look brighter than it prints. Order a sample first. Check it by day and again under a lamp. We have shipped these skies from Perth to the Gold Coast. Your custom-size mural ships free Australia wide, with numbered panels for easy hanging.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.
How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?
Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!
How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?
Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!
Will a dark night sky mural make my room feel smaller?
Usually the opposite. The scattered points of light give the wall visible depth, so the eye reads distance rather than a boundary. That makes a night sky one of the few dark designs that can actually help a small or windowless room feel more open.
Is starry night wallpaper suitable for a nursery?
Yes, and it is a popular choice. Soft dusk tones with fine gold stars are gentle enough for a newborn, and the theme ages well, still suiting a child of nine or ten. It calms a room rather than stimulating it.
Can I put a night sky mural on the ceiling?
Yes, and it is arguably the best surface for it. A star-scattered ceiling above a bed works beautifully, and sloped ceilings in attic conversions suit it especially well. We print to your ceiling measurements the same way we do walls.
What colors and finishes pair well with it?
Warm brass and gold echo the starlight, while cream and oatmeal textiles lift the darkness so the room does not close in. Pale timber and rattan add warmth. Keep bedding plain, since the sky is already doing the visual work.
Is peel and stick night sky wallpaper removable?
Yes. The peel and stick finish is self-adhesive and removable, lifting off cleanly without damaging paint underneath. That makes a dark feature wall a low-risk choice even in a rental or a room you expect to restyle.
