THE MOON
The original long-distance relationship. Always there, never close. She glows, she phases, she pretends she’s fine. The Moon doesn’t speak, she just reflects... sunlight, heartbreak, whatever’s thrown her way. This poster is for the quiet ones who still orbit what they’ve lost, who shine on borrowed fire and call it love. Because some things don’t need fixing, they just need to keep glowing.
Poster Survival Guide
Don’t Sunbathe It
Posters love light… just not that much light. Keep it out of direct sunlight unless you’re into that washed-out, vintage look.
Frame It, Maybe?
Frames aren’t just for rich art collectors. They keep your poster flat, clean, and safe from the horror of accidental coffee spills.
Dust, Don’t Crust
A gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth once in a while is enough. No, your mop does not qualify. And please… don’t use cleaning spray. It’s paper, not your kitchen counter.
Roll Responsibly
Moving? Roll it loosely and stick it in a cardboard tube. Don’t fold it. Folds are forever, just like bad tattoos.
Climate Control (For Posters, Not Your Mood)
Keep it in a dry, cool place. Humidity makes posters wrinkle like raisins. Basements and bathrooms? Hard no.
Recycle the Right Way
If, for some unholy reason, you stop loving it... don’t trash it. Donate, swap, or recycle.
For the Detail Freaks
The posters clean up nice with a sturdy wooden frame, already kitted out to hang straight on your wall (because wrestling with nails is overrated).
Ready-to-hang: Comes with the hanging kit, so you can skip the assembly drama.
Frame Material: Solid pine wood. Tougher than it looks.
Frame Size: Chunky enough to last (20-25mm thick), sleek enough to look good (1014mm wide).
Paper Weight: Heavyweight 200 gsm (a solid 80 lb), because floppy posters are a tragedy.
Paper Finish: Smooth matte, zero glare. No accidental mirror selfies here.
Protection: Shatterproof plexiglass, because accidents (and clumsy friends) happen.
Sustainability: FSC-certified or equivalent, so your conscience can relax.
On-Demand Magic: No warehouses, no dust. Printed fresh and shipped just for you.
What do I actually get?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
Ship & Flip
CAN I RETURN MY ORDER IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
Yep! EU law gives you a 14-day “cooling-off” period. So if you unpack your poster and decide it’s not love at first sight, you can send it back within 14 days. No hard feelings.
How do I start a return?
Just drop an email at hello@distinctroom.com with your order number. We’ll send you the return address and next steps.
Who pays for return shipping?
Changed your mind? You cover the return shipping.
Got a damaged, misprinted, or wrong item? That’s on me. I will replace it free of charge or refund you in full.
My poster arrived damaged. What now?
Snap a quick photo and email it to me (hello@distinctroom.com) within 30 days. I will sort it out with a free replacement (or a refund if you’d rather). Easy.
What if my order never shows up?
If your package takes a holiday and gets lost in transit, I will send you a new one. No extra cost, no stress.
When will I get my money back?
Once your return lands back with me (or you show us proof it’s on the way), I will refund you to your original payment method. Usually within 14 days, but often faster.
Can I swap for another design instead?
Not directly. Since everything is printed on demand, the quickest way is: return your poster → get a refund → place a shiny new order.
Are your posters considered personalized?
Nope! All designs are my own creations, not customer-customized. That means they are returnable under EU law. If we ever launch personalized prints, those would be non-returnable (but we’ll make that super clear).

The Moon
The Moon, love & longing
Long ago, the Earth was scorched by ten suns that decided to rise together. The land burned, crops withered, people died. Hou Yi (后羿), a legendary archer, who climbed the highest peak, drew his bow, and with nine perfect shots, took down nine suns. Only one sun was left to warm the world: just the right amount of light.
As a reward, the Mother of the West (西王母) handed Hou Yi a vial of the elixir of immortality. Drink it, and you’d ascend to the heavens forever. But Hou Yi, being a romantic, decided eternity wasn’t worth it if it meant leaving his wife, Chang’e (嫦娥), behind.
Only a few secrets stay hidden forever. One night, while Hou Yi was away, a greedy apprentice tried to steal the elixir. To stop him, Chang’e drank it herself and instantly felt herself lifting off the ground. She floated higher and higher until she landed on the moon, Earth’s nearest celestial neighbor, and set up residence there.
She became the Goddess of the Moon, forever separated from Hou Yi.
Heartbroken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky, calling out to her. He prepared her favorite foods and laid them beneath the moonlight, hoping she could feel his love.
Her silence, my truth
I first heard the story of Chang’e (嫦娥) from a friend’s grandmother when I was a kid. But honestly, by then it was already too late, the moon had me. I was hypnotized. Warm summer nights, I’d just sit there staring up, wondering how on Earth (literally) something so small could boss around the oceans and light up half the sky. At moonrise her colors were absurdly beautiful, like she knew she was putting on a show. And on a clear night? She’d flex even harder, outshining every star around her. I was hooked.
Later, during a messy stretch when I worked nights and slept through the day, the moon basically became my roommate. Always there, glowing, chill. No judgment, no complaints. Just hanging in the sky while I tried to figure myself out. Somewhere in that sleepless haze, I actually started to get Hou Yi (后羿). Like, oh, okay… this is the kind of love that makes you give up eternity just to stay together.
Now she’s become my one and only, the quiet witness to everything I never say out loud. The moon is my confidant, my mirror of secrets, the side of me no one else gets to see. After all, the world only ever sees one of her faces. The rest? She saves for me.
Staring at the moon is one thing, but listening to her? Dark, sensual, dramatic. Matchy Spotify playlist for the one and only.
