Home should be more than just a place to lay your head. Your home offers the perfect opportunity to express your style and personality, but you may not be sure how to exactly capture or translate that into home decor [1]. Believe it or not, your zodiac sign can help. Astrology can say a lot about your design style and preferences, and depending on the time of your birth, you may be drawn toward the traditional or the trendy [2]. Read on to find out whether you're best suited to a space where less is more, or a space where more is more, so you can design a home that best reflects you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
For an Aquarius, you need a space that allows you to explore your curiosity, creativity, and killer intuition. You're fascinated by anything unusual or different, so it only makes sense to decorate your home with all of your fabulous DIY [4] projects. Good causes and the environment are also important to you, so you're sure to love a space that's eco-chic with lots of fun and eclectic touches.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the gentle and patient Pisces, you should have a space that matches your level of chill. A beachy vibe would suit you perfectly, with soft colours and comfy furniture made for relaxing. Your home should be your place for resting and recharging, so even if you live nowhere near the ocean, a zen space is a must.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries are enterprising and incisive, and you're best suited to a space that reflects your fiery passion. A minimalist look [5] is best for you, with sleek, contemporary furnishings and fun pops of colour. You're never afraid to take risks, so go ahead and embrace the latest trends.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus folks, you're practical, and there's nothing wrong with that. You love comfort, security, and warmth above all else, so you'll be drawn to a space that is both utilitarian and incredibly cosy. However, comfortable for you definitely doesn't mean drab — you love beauty, so you're sure to love a space that's classic and chic as well as perfect for cuddling.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Geminis love to socialise and express themselves, so you need a space that's open and airy, but also chock-full of personality. You may be drawn to several different styles, ranging from the traditional to the modern, and you shouldn't be afraid to mix and match. You're fun and eclectic, so your home should be a reflection of your uniqueness (as well as perfect for hosting parties).
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For Cancers, sentimentality is essential, so you would best respond to a space that's simple, rustic, and homey. You're unpretentious and nurturing, and nothing would better suit you than farmhouse-inspired decor [6] to welcome your loved ones into your home. Make sure to decorate your space with plenty of framed photos as well — we know how nostalgic you are!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Leos, you're born to shine and you thrive on love and admiration, so you need a space worthy of praise. Forget less is more — your space should be lavish and eye-catching, with dramatic accent walls and plenty of unusual conversation pieces. Be sure to include some monogrammed pillows and blankets — there's no better way to make your space distinctly yours than by literally putting your name on it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
With your keen eye for detail and deep sense of humanity, Virgos need a space that's organised, simple, and very zen. Stick to organic fabrics, earth tones, and pieces that speak to your rustic sensibilities. You love cleanliness and order, so a sense of harmony is essential (as well as a few potted plants to bring some life into your space).
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Libras love beauty, harmony, and peace, so nothing would be better than a space that's both inviting and elegant. Your space should be filled with cool, subdued colours, as well as pieces that are modern and stylish without being pretentious. You love to entertain, so make sure you have plenty of space for your guests and decor that makes them feel as welcome in your home as possible.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Scorpios are known for mysteriousness and strong wills, so your space should be just as dramatic as you. Forget trendy pieces and bright colours — you'll be drawn to a space that's refined and luxurious, and where you love your privacy, it doesn't matter what other people think. Stick to dark wood, dark colours, and decadent velvet accents [7] — and don't forget to add some thick curtains to keep out prying eyes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
For a Sagittarius, nothing sounds better to you than hitting the open road, so your space should be just as bright and outdoorsy as your personality. Decorate your home with colourful exotic objects to reflect your many travels, and embrace natural materials to reflect your love of the great outdoors. You should also invest in plenty of potted plants — a Sagittarius needs as much life in a space as possible!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Capricorns are predictable and reliable, so you'll be drawn to a space that is traditional rather than trendy or chic. Embrace Scandinavian simplicity with minimalism and functionality, and fill your space with pieces that are antique and built to last. A neutral colour palette will also appeal to you — cleanliness and order is key!
