Learn how to blend outer space and princess themes in a kids room using themed window panels, wall art, and bedding. Practical steps for a cohesive look.
Quick answer
Start by picking one dominant theme—space or princess—then add accent pieces from the other. Themed window panels like Everyday Kids Outer Space Adventures Drapes or Princess Storyland Drapes set the tone without overwhelming the room.
Why choose one dominant theme
Mixing two strong themes can make a small room feel chaotic. By letting one theme lead (say, space for the bed and wall art) and the other appear in smaller accents (princess on the window or a throw pillow), you keep the room visually balanced. The child still gets both worlds, but the space feels intentional rather than cluttered.
The role of window panels
Curtains are one of the largest surfaces in a room, so they naturally anchor the theme. A pair of themed drapes—like the space-themed or princess-themed panels from Everyday Kids—instantly communicates the room’s personality. Because each panel measures 41 inches wide by 63 inches long, they fit most standard windows and are easy to install with a standard curtain rod.
Steps to blend space and princess themes
- Choose your lead theme: Decide which theme will dominate the largest surfaces: bedspread, wall mural, or rug. The other theme will appear on smaller accents like curtains, pillows, or wall decals. If your child can’t pick, let them choose the theme for the bed—it’s the biggest piece and sets the room’s direction.
- Install themed window panels: Hang a pair of Everyday Kids Outer Space Adventures Drapes or Princess Storyland Drapes on a standard curtain rod. The 3-inch rod pocket makes installation simple, and the 63-inch length works for most windows. Measure your window width before buying. Each panel is 41 inches wide, so a standard 36- to 48-inch window needs two panels for full coverage.
- Add accent pieces from the second theme: Use a small rug, throw pillow, or wall decal from the secondary theme. For example, if space is the lead, add a princess-themed lamp or a castle-shaped bookshelf. Stick to one or two accent items. Too many small pieces from the second theme can make the room feel disjointed.
- Balance colors across both themes: Space themes often use dark blues, blacks, and silver; princess themes use pinks, purples, and gold. Choose a neutral wall color (like light gray or white) and let the window panels and bedding provide the color pop. If the room feels too dark or too pink, swap a solid-colored blanket or rug to tone it down.
- Layer lighting for each zone: Use a ceiling light for overall brightness, a small reading lamp near the bed, and string lights or a nightlight for a cozy glow. Themed lampshades or glow-in-the-dark stars can reinforce the chosen theme. Avoid harsh overhead lights alone—they can make the room feel flat. Layered lighting makes the themes feel more immersive.
