Star Wars Home Makeover
This is for hardcore fans who can shell out a few grand to create the perfect lounging space surrounded by their favorite things from the movies. Let’s call it ‘Nerdvana.’ This may require some demolition or heavy construction. If you are looking for affordable and easy-to-implement Star Wars decoration ideas, scroll down to find those.
Star Wars Basement
Living with Star Wars fans who love collecting memorabilia can be challenging, especially if others in the house don’t share the love. If your home has a basement that’s rarely used, it is time for a makeover and pto rovide a dedicated space for all your Star Wars collectibles.
You will need a lot of color-changing LED lights, a lot of shelves, and a few statue stands to keep your Stormtrooper and Darth Vader suits upright. You can even get life-size replicas of characters from your favorite Star Wars shows and movies. Take a cue from this L.A. mansion with 5,000 square feet Star Wars basement. It has one-of-a-kind art, props from the movies, a Star Cade machine, a pillar with five rows dotted with Stormtrooper helmets, and even a model of an X-Wing.
Star Wars Bar Treatment
Creating a Star Wars-inspired home bar is one of the easiest makeover ideas. If you have a small alcove-style unused space in the house, put it to good use as a home bar. Install a countertop and a few shelves to display the ales you have sourced from across the galaxy.
If you can invest in a few neon signs, a few masks, Stormtrooper helmets, or life-size replicas of characters from the space opera, that would be neat. Lighting is important in a themed home bar. For the Star Wars theme, think color-changing LED strip lights installed under the fixtures. This will help create an otherworldly effect while setting the mood for you and your pals to share a few drinks and stories.
Star Wars Spaceship Home Theater
Let’s be honest, we all love the Millennium Falcon more than any other ship. Probably because of the shared adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca. Whatever the reason, if you do have a home theater or want one, make it Star Wars themed.
You will need themed stained glass windows, add murals of X-Wing Starfighters and the Death Star on the walls to make it more realistic. Add the shining stars and planets ahead, place a few chairs, and accent touches to complete the feel of Han’s spaceship.
Could City Bedroom
The Cloud City, where Lando Calrissian helped the Empire catch Han, Leia, and Luke, was one of the most amazing civilizations featured in the original trilogy. If you loved Cloud City, you should consider giving your bedroom a makeover.
For this, you don’t need much. Just a lot of cotton to create a cloud ceiling or you could go buy an insane amount of cloud lamps. Add color-changing LED lights to the ceiling before creating the clouds. You can go another level by adding a floating bed to complete the vibe. Murals of the Cloud City will further enhance the thematic ambiance.

This is for the fans who love the galactic epic but don’t have the means, either in terms of space or funds, to do a full-on Star Wars home makeover. There are tons of Star Wars home décor ideas that can be done within budget. It entails displaying budget-friendly memorabilia or murals, incorporating a themed bed (either bought or DIYed), or as simple as using a themed bedsheet.

Bunk Beds and Murals

This project can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. It is a testament to your creativity, really, more than your dedication to the subject.
