What is it?
A Starry Night Ceiling is a one off piece of artwork that creates a realistic starry night sky on your ceiling creating the illusion that your ceiling has disappeared, leaving you sleeping beneath a blanket of stars

How does it work?
A photo-luminescent material in a special binder is applied to your ceiling. This crystallised product soaks up invisible ultra-violet (UV) light from daylight and artificial light to then release that energy as visible light for over a period of time.

What happens?
Once you turn off the lights and the room is in darkness, the wonder of your Starry Night Ceiling happens. As your eyes adjust to the dark the stars will appear as if by magic, take a closer look and you will notice some well known constellations such as the plough and the little dipper. Shooting stars will seem to glide past you and you can easily loose yourself in the dreamy nebula above you.
