Skyceil Starry Sky
Starry Sky and Galaxy Stretch Ceilings
What it is
Starry ceilings are made by setting small points of light into a dark stretch membrane. With fibre-optic systems, a single light source feeds many fine strands so the ceiling itself carries no electrical load at each star.
For a more graphic look, a galaxy or nebula can be printed onto the membrane, with or without star points added. Both approaches suit bedrooms, home theatres, lounges and hospitality spaces designed for the evening.
Where it suits
- Master bedrooms
- Kids' rooms
- Home theatres
- Lounges and bars

Benefits
- A dramatic feature for rooms used mainly in the evening
- Star density and pattern can be designed for the room
- Can be combined with cove lighting for everyday use
Things to consider
- The illuminator needs a ventilated, accessible location.
- A dark ceiling changes how the room feels in daytime — consider pairing it with general lighting.
- Star patterns are designed before installation; changes later are not simple.
Installation
- 1Plan star layout, illuminator position and any additional lighting.
- 2Fix profiles and route fibres or wiring through the cavity.
- 3Install the membrane and set the star points, then test the lighting.
Care and maintenance
- Dust the membrane gently with a soft, dry cloth.
- Keep the illuminator's ventilation clear.
- Contact us for servicing of the light source rather than opening the ceiling yourself.

Questions about starry sky
Do the stars twinkle?
They can. Twinkle and colour-change effects depend on the illuminator; we will explain the options available when we quote.
Is a starry ceiling suitable for a kids' room?
Yes — it is a popular choice. We usually suggest adding regular lighting as well for day-to-day use.
Can I have both a printed galaxy and real star points?
Yes. Combining a printed galaxy with star points gives the most depth. Ask for this option in your enquiry.
