How to Bring the Galaxy Colour Trend into Your Home


Dark colours may be intimidating, especially on walls. However, dark colours with bright accents can lift a space to new heights - out of this world heights!

The breath-taking galaxy trend can be brought straight into your home as a creative celestial addition to your space. It is important to remember that the dark colours are only the first step to achieving the theme. If you are so bold as to choose black as the first layer, the added accent colours will transform the space into a galactic adventure.

There are many different ways to achieve this effect with paint, namely:
  • Paint one wall black and another a bright shade of blue, purple or any other colour.
  • Incorporate your lighting to either reflect painted white stars or create the effect with lighting.
  • Use an assortment of paint products to achieve the result you want. By using Pristina as a dark, matte base, you can use a sponge to add the galaxy effect with Scrumble-Glaze. This will allow for the colour to stand out against its dark matte background. This is especially true if you add colour and white accents with Scrumble-Glaze as it can produce a translucent effect when mixed with the proper ratio of Glaze to Acrylic.
  • Opt for a dark wall, in purple, navy or black and buy bright coloured furniture to enhance the effect or to achieve a more muted version of the galaxy look.
  • Add dark curtains on your windows to carry the theme through the whole room.
  • For an added touch of whimsy, paint white stars on the ceiling so you can look up from your bed or couch and see a “sky” full of stars.
However you choose to incorporate the whimsicality of the cosmos into your space, make sure you use quality paint products to achieve the effect you desire.
