Design Trendspotting: Celestial Decor

Was your childhood bedroom decorated with glow-in-the-dark star stickers that created constellations when you turned off the lights? Do you occasionally yearn for a library with an unimpeded view of the night sky and a telescope for stargazing? Our fascination with the cosmos dates as far back as the origins of humanity, and in 2020, designers are once again looking upward for inspiration and bringing touches of astronomy into interior spaces.

From planets to comets to entire galaxies, celestial decor is a trend that combines whimsy and sparkle against a dark color palette. Spaces that feature the cosmos emanate a warm elegance with a contemporary edge. 

And considering the vastness of the universe, this trend lends itself to a range of decorating options. Celestial-inspired lighting can provide a warm glow or sparkly twinkle, while an accent wall might feature a galaxy or tiny starbursts. Some designers are drawing upon the growing interest in astrology to feature zodiac symbols on wall art or throw pillows.

Our Celestial Perforated Grille draws upon the allure of outer space with a design that features delicate stars around a heavenly body. And like all our grilles, it maximizes air flow and ventilation in any room.



At ARCHITECTURAL GRILLE, we keep our eye on design so that we can provide our clients with metalwork that meets their needs, from grilles to custom pieces. We love it when a client finds a pattern within our vast array of grille designs that perfectly complements their current project, but if the perfect pattern doesn’t exist, we can create it.
