A star ceiling panel is the perfect way to add some magical ambience to your home theater space. You can also add a stargazing panel to areas like covered outdoor living spaces, pool rooms, bathrooms, kids’ playrooms, and more. Want your home theater to feel more like a drive-in movie? Want your sunroom to become a glowing, meditative space for yoga sessions or naps? Adding some stars to the ceiling can make all the difference.
Why should you consider installing a star ceiling panel? It can vastly improve the aesthetic appeal of any space, but it also has powerful mental, emotional and physical benefits. A high-quality star ceiling panel can mimic the effects of stargazing into the real night sky.
Stargazing creates a calming, meditative sense that time has been paused. Today, most of us lead busy lifestyles that are largely spent indoors. Our lives tend to be fast-paced, and there’s rarely a moment during the day to pause and let time stand still.
Our minds and bodies crave the stillness and peace that comes from spending solitary time under the night sky. When you’re immersed in nature, your breathing and heart rate often slow down, and your blood pressure might drop. Today, many of us are drinking too much caffeine and not getting enough sleep. Stressors from our daily lives can raise our blood pressure and heart rate. Even many of the activities we turn to for fun and relaxation can get our adrenaline pumping. However, spending time under the stars can slow down our physical processes and give our brains and bodies a chance to recharge.
What about the emotional benefits of stargazing? For people suffering from anxiety or depression, stargazing offers an excellent opportunity to calm racing thoughts and put things in perspective. Many people find that creative outlets, like playing music, painting, drawing, or writing are a great way to manage difficult emotions. It can be hard for many of us to find time alone, but some degree of solitude is key for everyone’s mental health–even extroverts. Stargazing creates a sense of quiet solitude, even when you’re not the only one in the room.
Did you know that stargazing helps to get the creative juices flowing in our brains? A star ceiling panel can become a helpful part of your routine when you’re seeking to keep your emotions balanced and healthy. You may find that you get your best ideas while letting your mind drift as you watch the stars twinkle and fade.
What happens to your mind while you’re looking up at the stars? During the day, our minds are often preoccupied with responsibilities, worries, and problems. However, when you look at the stars, your mind turns to more abstract, deep thoughts. Stargazing is the perfect opportunity to contemplate the meaning of life, your purpose in the world, and what your place in the universe is. We might not be able to live under the stars, but with a star ceiling panel, we can enjoy many of the same effects as we would in the great outdoors.
Once you’ve decided to purchase a star ceiling panel, how do you go about setting it up? For custom sizes, the first step is choosing the right size and carefully measuring to ensure a perfect fit. When ordering a star ceiling panel from Home Theater Mart, measure the exact length and width of your whole ceiling and share that information with us. It’s also important to tell us whether you want the whole ceiling to be covered, or just part of it. Let us know if you want perimeter lighting, and be sure to make note of any features on your ceiling that we’ll need to cut around to accommodate (ceiling lights, speakers, sprinklers, etc.).
Installing your star ceiling panel is easy thanks to our pre-wired panels. With wi-fi connectivity, a magnetic mounting system, and treatment designed to optimize acoustics, Home Theater Mart’s star ceiling panel is ready to turn your home theater–or any room in your home–into a fully immersive experience. Stick with authentic True White stars, or opt for Aurora Multi Color Stars for a fully customizable rainbow of color options. Now, you can bring the peace and calm of the night sky indoors!
