Star Murals Put the Galaxy on Your Ceiling

10 January 2008

Do you turn off the lights and hop into bed only to find your ceiling extremely dull? Do you lay awake nights trying to count imaginary sheep and instead wish you had stars to count? Are you just looking for some creative decorating ideas?

Well, if any of the above fits you, perhaps you’ll dig these star murals from Rip Read, the “Startist.”

Each mural is custom painted in a five-dimensional format (encompassing width, height, depth, glow, and movement) that mimics the actual night sky. The star murals are invisible by day and glow in the dark all night long. The stars even appear to move and twinkle, just like the real deal. And the darker the room, the brighter the stars appear.

You don’t have to have the star mural created in your bedroom (the artist has all sorts of photographs of residential work he’s done in places such as wine cellars, play rooms, and home theaters), but I think that’d be the coolest spot. What a neat way to go to sleep at night. For all of us who have dreamed of sleeping under the stars but prefer mattresses and down comforters to sleeping bags.
