Hey friends!
We’ve officially made it to Week 4 of the One Room Challenge, and while we wait for the last few deliveries to arrive, I thought this would be the perfect time to chat about something parents-to-be always wonder — how much does a galaxy-themed nursery really cost?

I’m not sure who’s more excited right now — me or the parents-to-be — as all the pieces start coming together! Many new parents don’t know what to expect when it comes to nursery expenses, especially when working with an interior designer for the first time. The good news? You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a dreamy, celestial space. The key is blending quality investment pieces with affordable-friendly finds that still feel elevated.

🚀 Nursery Highlights

The Rocket Hamper:
This whimsical piece was a must-have! It instantly tied the whole galaxy concept together and added a playful element that makes the room feel truly one-of-a-kind. We fell in love with it the moment we found it while sourcing materials.

The Crib and Dresser:
When creating the mood board, I wanted the nursery to feel warm and cozy. The natural tones of the crib and dresser achieved that balance beautifully — especially against the celestial mural. I initially considered a white set, but it felt too cold. The warmer tones made the space feel much more inviting.

The Wall Color:
We went bold with Sherwin Williams “Valiant Violet” — not your typical nursery hue, but it makes such a statement! To soften the intensity, I layered in a rug featuring lavender, cream, and pink tones, tying in the ottoman and glider perfectly. Mom-to-be was a bit hesitant at first, but once the mural went up, she absolutely loved it.

Touches of Gold:
Gold accents are sprinkled throughout the design — from the curtain rods to the mobile and name plate — giving the space a hint of luxury that shines against the deep violet backdrop.

The Artwork:
We chose vibrant art featuring young astronauts exploring space. It brings color, energy, and imagination — and it’s something the baby can grow into over time. Who knows? Maybe she’ll be inspired to become an astronaut someday!

Finishing Touches:

• A purple iridescent task lamp for those cozy bedtime stories.
• A crescent moon LED mirror for the baby’s first peek at her reflection — absolutely adorable.

💫 The Galaxy Nursery Budget Breakdown

So, what can you expect to spend on a galaxy-themed nursery?
Depending on the design details and furniture selections, the total cost typically ranges between $2,200 and $5,179.15.

That includes essentials like:

• Crib and dresser
• Glider and ottoman
• Accent decor (artwork, mirror, lighting)
• Textiles (rug, curtains, bedding)
• Accessories and wall decor
• Design services

Remember, your nursery doesn’t have to be expensive to feel special. With a thoughtful mix of investment pieces and affordable finds, you can create a space that feels magical, personal, and full of love.
