1. Glow-in-the-dark star ceiling decals
Stick glow-in-the-dark star decals on your ceiling for a dreamy vibe. They soak up light during the day, then glow at night.
Go wild with constellations or just scatter them in clusters. You can put them on and peel them off whenever you want to change things up.
Expert Tip from KidsCareIdeas: “Place the decals close to a light source during the day for the brightest glow at night. Clean the ceiling first so the decals stick better and stay up longer.”

You can control the colors with a remote, which is honestly pretty fun.
Expert Tip from KidsCareIdeas: “Try setting your LED strips to a soft color for relaxing and brighter colors for parties or study time.”
3. Upside-down bookshelf
Flip your bookshelf upside down for a quirky twist. Attach shelves to the ceiling or high up on the wall, then strap your books in with strong elastic cords.

Expert Tip from KidsCareIdeas: “Double-check that the shelf and fasteners are sturdy enough to hold the weight of your books to avoid any accidents.”
