One of the most popular bedroom themes, particularly for a boy, is a Space theme. In the past you would have been limited to sticking a few space shuttle pictures on the wall and some of those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling but now it is possible to be really creative.
If you have some artistic talent you could consider adding some hand-painted murals to the walls using pictures from books or photographs from the internet. If you haven't the ability to draw the outlines free-hand you can hire a projector quite cheaply and enlarge the images onto the walls and then paint them with water-based acrylic paints. If you really wanted to be creative you could use daytime visible glow paints. These are colours that you can see during the day and which then glow when the room is dark. This really makes a space theme come to life. The range of colours is a bit limited but there are enough to enable you to create some fantastic murals.

If the thought of hand-painting a mural fills you with dread you can now buy full wall murals that depict just about any type of theme you can imagine. There are some absolutely stunning space murals ranging from the space shuttle through to planets and fantasy space designs. These murals are attached to walls in exactly the same way as you would hang ordinary wallpaper. They normally come in 6-8 pieces and you just have to centre it up on the wall, paste the pieces and hang them. If the mural is slightly larger than your bedroom wall you can simply trim them to fit.
You could simply buy space themed wallpaper. There are some super designs available and some that even incorporate glow in the dark planets and rockets. A fourth option is to paint your walls and then buy space stick-ups or transfers.
You can add accessories to the walls such as space clocks, paintings, prints, posters, light switch covers etc. If you have a young child who would get many years use out of a themed bed/bunk bed then there are some amazing space related designs such as the Space Shuttle, a Launch Pad, rocket and even a Star Wars shuttle.
If you don't want to go to the extent of spending a lot of money on a designer bed you can still buy space themed bedding plus matching curtains and light
fittings.
You can accessorise the rest of the bedroom with glow in the dark planets/solar systems that hang from the ceiling or planetariums that project space images onto the walls and ceiling. There are lunar loungers, cyborg chairs, stellar shelving and many more gizmos to add to the overall space theme.
As a final touch why not consider a Cosmic Star Ceiling. You can create stars, planets, constellations, shooting stars and more using glow in the dark paints. If you paint on a white or light coloured ceiling you will not see any of the effects as the glow paint dries to a white colour. The paints charge up during the day and then at night when the room is in darkness the effects come to life. It really does make you feel as though you are staring up into space. Children love them particularly if they are scared of the dark.
