Space Odyssey: Surface Trend

Inspired by far away galaxies, designers experiment with interplanetary imagery and textural metallic finishes to create surface designs that are out of this world .

Ideal for room dividers and decoration, Nya Nordiska's Galaxy fabric from the Nya Textiles Collection fears broad strips created from a double-weave of Lurex ribbon yarns and a layer of organza.

Part of Graham & Brown's Spellbound Collection, the Stardust wallpaper presents a canvas of stars embellished with a twinkling foil effect.

Made in Kathmandu from Chinese silk and hand-carded and handspun Tibetan highland wool, the luxurious Spacecrafted collection by German rug designer Jan Kath are replicas of high-resolution photographs of space.

Resembling a starry night sky, Staron's Metallic worktop in 'Galaxy' contains metallic flakes that twinkle in the light.

Made from knotted silk, the Galaxy rug is part of Eastern Knots' Cosmo collection, inspiredly by images taken by the Hubble space telescope.
