How To Decorate According To Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: setting trends

The Aries personality loves to make a statement and isn’t afraid to follow her impulses. She is gutsy, adventurous, quick-witted and loves to be on the leading edge of trends. A serial renovator, she is the first to try out daring new looks and isn’t afraid to break design rules.

Taurus: the good life

Warm hearted and reliable, the Taurus personality loves to create a cozy and sensual home. They indulge in life’s finer pleasures including food, drink and entertaining friends. Materials that feel good to the touch like soft velvets, elaborately carved woods and smooth marble will figure prominently.

Gemini: cabinet of curiosities

Geminis, with their dual personalities, like a little bit of everything. Their interests are many and varied, which results in an eclectic home filled with curious objects from different sources. In order to balance all of these decorating whims they should aim for symmetry in every room.

Cancer: home is where the heart is

Emotional and loving, Cancers put family and friends first and strive to create a home that strengthens those bonds. They’d like nothing more than to have all of their favourites gathered around a rustic, farmhouse table socializing through the day and into the night. They love to nurture those around them and will make a home where everyone feels welcome.

Leo: clutter-free

Ever-confident Leos love to plunge into new ventures and aren’t afraid to take risks. Expect bright colours and bold patterns along with a taste for the exotic. Picture frilly lace layered with hot pink. They’re also obsessed with organizing (Martha Stewart is a famous Leo) so you won’t find too many things out of place.

Virgo: the minimalist

Virgos are meticulous, practical perfectionists. They choose quality over quantity every time and are quite particular about what they will allow in their home. They favour pared down décor and abhor fussiness.

Libra: cultured style

Libras are charming, social creatures who can engage anyone in conversation. They prefer a timeless, cultured look and love to layer classic materials like brass, marble and wood throughout their home. Libras can be indecisive, especially when it comes to design decisions, but the extra time they take making up their mind always results in a stunning final product.

Scorpio: reclusive retreat

Scorpios are a private lot whose emotions run deep. Highly intuitive and ever curious, they want to know everything about everyone. Their home is their sanctuary and they will go to great lengths to insure it is a refuge from the outside world. Their passionate side often results in a home that is carefully considered and truly personal. Muted, calming colours and handcrafted items will figure prominently in their homes.

Sagittarius: global bohemian

Sagittarians are the nomads of the zodiac. These honest, straight-forward travellers are seekers of truth and will go anywhere to find it. Their homes will reflect their wordly adventures and will have a lived-in, bohemian vibe to them. Expect to find layered ethnic textiles, woven baskets and kilim rugs.

Capricorn: the traditionalist

Industrious and hardworking Capricorns like to take life one step at a time. Their grounded personality favours comfortable spaces that aren’t too fussy or overly decorated. As a result, their homes will tend to favour more traditional décor updated in a modern and youthful way.

Aquarius: daring and eccentric

One of the most eccentric personalities of the zodiac, Aquarians are unpredictable, exciting and outgoing. They are happy to lead the way and not afraid to take risks or break new ground. Expect their homes to be original and inventive with a mix of furniture from different styles and periods.

Pisces: the dreamer

Dreamy and sensitive, Pisceans are ruled primarily by their feelings. They are soul-searchers and as a result their homes are often meditative places where they can contemplate life’s larger questions. They are drawn to pale watery colours like seafoam green, aqua and washed-out blue.
