Whether you’re a homebody or hostess with the mostest, trying to find the perfect home decor style can be overwhelming. If your living space needs an update—and you aren’t quite sure where to start—referencing your zodiac sign is the first step. Home decorating for your zodiac sign is a great way to tune into yourself and set your space up for success.
Our design style is largely impacted by our personalities (and for some of us, that means the stars). So, if you’re looking for a quirky way to style your abode, allow this overview of home decorating for your zodiac sign to be your guide:
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18) – Eclectic, yet Soothing
An Aquarius is known for being eclectic and quirky, and the ideal Aquarian home should reflect that! Opt for a modern design with lots of interesting focal points and contrasting elements–look for a striking statement piece of art or some brightly colored accent chairs. In addition, make sure there are plenty of furniture and rooms to entertain all the friends and family.
Aquarius is a sun sign known for its calm nature and sensitivity. And while their homes are known for being trendy and eclectic, they should offset the modernity by making sure it’s incredibly cozy. As an Aquarian, you’re aiming to curate a truly unique space that still allows you an opportunity to hide away from your thoughts.
Pisces (February 19 to March 20) – Calming and Serene
Pisces are lovingly regarded as old souls. They are the more spiritual of the zodiac, and their homes will reflect ample curvy patterns and natural materials. Pisces should aim to curate a zen-like, cozy space for themselves and their guests to enjoy. Opt for a free-flowing layout with relaxing nooks—complete with loungers and accent blankets—scattered throughout.
Pisces is a water sign, and many would benefit from situating their house near some sort of body of water. (Of course, whether that means settling in on the seaside or installing an elegant backyard water feature is up to you.) Stick to a soft, ocean-esque color scheme emphasizing creams, whites, blues, and browns.
Aries (March 21 to April 19) – Bright and Bold
Aries are high-energy fire signs, and their homes should feature vibrant, bold colors and patterns. (Think: red accent walls and dramatic furniture.) However, they are also highly intellectual and incredibly artistic. To balance this combination, fill those over-the-top bookshelves with interesting novellas, statement pieces of art, thought-provoking photographs, world travel souvenirs, and the like.
On a larger scale, Aries should ensure their home is equipped with plenty of rooms to keep their high-energy, rather rambunctious selves occupied. A rock climbing wall, designated yoga space, or elaborate home gym make terrific finishing touches.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20) – Elegantly Classic
Taurus homes strike the perfect balance of beauty and serenity. The elegant and sophisticated side of these earth signs will ensure their home is a well-appointed space where every detail counts. Many would benefit from showcasing the finer things in life.
Tauruses love to entertain, so their living room should effortlessly blend extravagance with comfort. A Taurus’ home should be their own private oasis where they can retreat from the stressors of the world. Lean into that earthy side with understated tones and nature-inspired, neutral colors.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) – Traditional, yet Playful
This adventurous air sign is vibrant, creative, and full of life. Geminis crave variety, which is why their homes should take a playful spin on tradition. Interesting color combinations and patterns will reign supreme. And blank-slate, contemporary-style homes will give them plenty of room to experiment.
Additionally, Geminis are social butterflies who love to entertain. Installing large glass panels and wide windows will open up the space, allowing energy—and guests—to flow effortlessly between rooms.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22) – Tranquil and Cozy
Cancers are creative, romantic types, and they likely have a soft spot for tradition. Their walls should be decorated with treasured antiques and nostalgic trinkets. And because they’re in tune with their emotions, a Cancer’s home should showcase their favorite photographs and cherished memories.
Cancers are notorious for being homebodies. That’s why their humble abode should be nothing if not comfortable. Decorate with cozy accent blankets, mood lighting, elegant inviting coffee table style, and muted colors.
Leo (July 23 to August 22) – Vibrant Maximalism
Leos want to be the center of attention, and their homes should be vibrant, bold, and dramatic. When it comes to decor, this fire sign will tell you that more is always better. Stock up on one-of-a-kind art pieces, elaborate pieces of furniture, and curtains with bold and dramatic patterns.
A Leo’s home reflects a myriad of influences–from bright colors to world travel destinations—and is full of natural light. As one of the creative signs, Leos are looking to create a stimulating home environment from which they can pull inspiration. And of course, their natural desire to impress means accumulating plenty of over-the-top features and dramatic focal points.
Virgo (August 23 to September 22) – Sleek and Stylish
Virgos are known for being perfectionists. Therefore, they thrive in a minimalist, clutter-free environment where there is ample opportunity to tweak, clean, and spruce up. Because this earth sign isn’t necessarily looking to follow trends, clean lines and earthy, warm tones are ideal. Opt for furniture that’s as functional as it is appealing — like coffee tables that double as storage bins, for example — to maintain that sleek, clutter-free, perfect space.
Libra (September 23 to October 22) – Hip and Inviting
Libras love to entertain, which means their cozy spaces must always be ready for hosting duty. Libras should incorporate lighter, pastel colors that are both inviting to guests and soothing to themselves, making for a zen-like space. And because they’re one of the more artistic of the signs, they’ll likely adorn their homes with glamour, beauty, and art. Invest in elegant, tasteful touches like airy window coverings and eye-catching wall furnishings. Libra’s that are a bit more bold might opt for bold colours or a scandinavian style home, which puts emphasis on nature but still perfect for someone who wants their home to feel warm and functional for guests.
The rooms within a Libra’s home should complement one another – without overcrowding or perfectly matching. And while it’s not uncommon for this sign to spend hours decorating and perfecting, their creative side might lead to clutter. Therefore, make sure that everything has a designated home.
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) – Posh and Private
A Scorpio needs a sanctuary where they can unwind both physically and mentally. Their classy, elegant style will likely inspire deep jewel tones, lots of interesting texture, and luxurious fabrics – like silk and velvet. Like many other signs, Scorpios savor their alone time, and their home should be that private oasis they can retreat to.
Every Scorpio needs a space to truly call their own. And whether that’s a reading nook, home office, or a corner of the bedroom, it’s essential that Scorpios carve out a sacred space for just themselves. Fill it with things that spark joy, like cozy blankets, favorite books, or a furry friend.
Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21) – Creative and Open
Sags are constantly searching for the next travel excursion or social situation. Therefore, they probably won’t spend too much time inside their home. Because they’re notoriously known to not staying in one place for too long, some Sagittarians might even benefit from a home they can bring with them – like a van.
Of course, other Sagittarians will opt for spacious, active households with ample natural light and entertainment galore. Typically, Sags love the sights and smells of the natural world, so consider incorporating natural elements — like foliage or a water fountain — into the space.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 19) – Artfully Curated
Generally, Capricorns will sacrifice comfort for style but still believe in hard work when it comes to incorporating their personal style into their home décor. They should still stock their homes with enough cozy pieces for downtime (say: an in-home movie theater and an area rug). Their traditional sense of style inspires them to gravitate towards tried and true brands, as well as classic, refined home interiors.
Capricorn homes should feature plenty of wood (both light and dark), as this is a timeless choice for those desiring a classic or antique look. Additionally, salvaged goods and thoughtfully curated antiques add character and help create that cozy, homey space.
