A Star Sky Ceilings© is a wonderful and patented effect which can be applied to you ceiling, turning it into a beautiful Star Sky Ceiling?. It is not visible by day but as the room goes dark the effect becomes visible and creates a virtual sky of glowing stars which will transform your ceiling and your room.
Imagine snuggling up on the sofa or bed and staring into the distant sky. It really gives your rooms the wow factor, and can relieve you of the stresses of the day as you immerse yourself in the wonder of the universe.
Before we begin to work on your ceiling, we carefully listen to you - the customer. Everyone has different tastes and needs. Some people want just a very faint peaceful ceiling; others will want a more vivid intense experience. But we will customize the ceiling to your taste.
We can start with as little as only main constellations, a few minor and distant stars for depth, or make it more intense by adding the Milky Way, nebula and gas clouds and even shooting stars. We can even add different colours to create a more realistic cosmic experience.
At various price points we are able re- create different levels of detail.
And since a Night Sky Mural is astronomically accurate, it makes an excellent learning tool.
Can you imagine them running up to bed without being asked? Well this really can happen, as they can’t wait for the Star Sky Ceiling? to magically appear. On the long summer days darkness comes late and it is difficult to get them to bed. Well not any more.
If your child is afraid of the dark then a Star Sky Ceiling? can be used as a unique gentle night light.
Children and adults can learn together as they examine the night sky. Learning to locate and identify the various constellations in the comfort of their own home.
The Ceiling only emits very faint light and is a really calming and relaxing experience that will actually help you to sleep! As mentioned earlier we can create different levels of intensity. For bedrooms we use relaxing scenes and recommend more intense effects for other areas. The stars will slowly fade away through the night with the smaller stars disappearing first, creating different scenes and the illusion of movement. A lot of people actually say they see individual stars twinkling just as in the natural sky.
The paint used in a Star Sky Ceiling? is the result of years of research. It charges up very quickly, and for the maximum result we recommend charging the mural with a UV light. We can provide these, which can be simply dropped anywhere in the middle of your room. By leaving the UV light on for 5-10 minutes you will get the full effect of the Star Sky Ceiling? when you turn off the lights.
The length of time that the stars glow for is dependent on your environment and your ability to control it. The darker the room, the more you will see the night sky and its depth of detail. The stars are brightest for the first few hours after the lights are turned out, and slowly fade away as morning comes.
Definitely not! The paint that we use in our murals is the product of years of research to find the best possible product available. Our paint is tested to be non-toxic, odorless and able to give the most realistic star light color. Once applied, it will last for many years, however if you changed your mind you can apply few coats of paint over it, and the stars will disappear.
We spend many hours perfecting each mural to make sure it is as close to the real night sky, with many layers of stars of varying colour and size to create the feeling of depth and vastness. Many companies do not have the expertise to achieve this, or do not spend the time. Ours are an almost perfect copy of the real night sky. The effect is very difficult for a camera to capture, and the real mural is far more dramatic.
No, the effect of a Star Sky Ceiling? is far superior. Our paint is unique and patented, as is the technique used to create the mural. Over the years people have tried to create an effect of the night sky at home by using ‘stick on stars’ or optical fibre lights but nothing looks as realistic, or has the depth of the ceiling we create.
Our murals are invisible in daylight on light colored or white surfaces. If you wish to have a Star Sky Ceiling? on a darker surface, we can test an area before we proceed to show you how this will look. On very dark surfaces the milky paint is only faintly detectable, and we will advice you of this in our initial consultation.
Definitely not. While the greater proportion of our work is for the home, we have also worked on Hotels, bed and breakfast establishments, Sports Gyms and so on. We travel around the world to create our brilliant Star Sky Ceilings? in any room that you choose, that will get dark enough show off this fantastic effect.

You must remember that we tailor each room to your taste and the time it takes will vary greatly. It depends on many factors such as the height of the ceiling to the depth and intensity of the finish. We can paint many ceilings in a long day. Some ceilings will however take a few days, but we can give you a good idea of how long it will take when we discuss the project with you and see the room.
We are happy to travel to wherever people want this special effect applied worldwide. However if you are far away we try to complete a few jobs in the area to keep your costs down.
Usually there is not much for you to do to get ready for us, other than make it easy to move around the space to be painted. If furniture is moved to the side of the room this is usually enough. We protect everything and work away.

We have painted murals for as little as ï¿¡500 and larger projects we have undertaken have been around ï¿¡9000. An average mural, with good detail, will usually cost around ï¿¡1500.
