Design Your Style According To Your Zodiac Sign
Skip the trends and incorporate what you love in your home decor.
Your home may be a shelter if you’re a nester. Your home could also be a showplace if you love to entertain. For best results in your home styling and interior decor, pay attention to Air, Fire, Earth and Water status to determine features and color. Also make sure you have a hideaway where only you can tread.
Aries
Read More »Aries also needs to make a spot to meditate. The year 2021 could be a time of intuitive growth for you. Put all the electronics on their chargers and turn off all the notifications. Find a spot near a bright green plant or sit on a plush purple cushion and let your mind clear. Great ideas are coming your way.
Taurus
Earthy Taurus needs a nest and wants some very specific twigs in place. This is a sign that focuses on a home that is comfortable, secure and stable. Treat yourself to robust plants, warm colors and lots of texture. Consider adding an animal hide rug to a conversation space or a brick wall texture behind your favorite reading chair.
Be aware that 2021 may be bumpy for you. If you choose to move, try to rent instead of buy, or to buy small so you can sell quickly. If you want to update your nest, update what’s there. This is not the year to move walls or put an addition on your home; there will be enough disruption as it is.
Gemini
Air sign Gemini has the power of Saturn on their side, so creativity will be at a high level! If you’re planning to redecorate, do so with an eye toward flexibility. Can you turn a small bedroom into a dressing room? How about finally creating your craft room? What about installing an interior sliding screen to create a creative, private space?
Take care to do a lot of thinking before anyone picks up a hammer. Measure multiple times before you start cutting. The ideas will be bouncing around for a while. Choose the best one before you make permanent changes to your home, and do your best to keep any new spaces as flexible as possible.
Cancer
Water sign Cancer loves being home, nesting, and caring for others. However, this is a year of new ideas and some karmic truths that can be tough. As you work through this exercise in independence, you may need to rethink some of your decorating choices.
If you love vintage, there are plenty of options out there to update what you have. If you’re holding on to old things because you love them, keep holding on. However, you may be holding on to antiques because someone else will love them, and this is a waste of your considerable personal power. Be ready to sell or donate items you can’t pass on. A love of the old can be shared with a new friend who will cherish it as you did.
Leo
This Fire sign loves opulence and the chance to show off a bit. Rich colors and bold decorating choices will continue to make you smile as soon as you walk in the door. If you’re keen on tech, go ahead and soup up the process. Phone apps that change the thermostat when you pull in the garage? If you don’t have it, get it. Customize to your heart’s content while you prepare a wonderful space for entertaining.
Leo also needs to make sure that there’s a spot for down time and self-care. The year 2021 may require you to review some attitudes and feelings that have long been rubbing you the wrong way. If you need to retreat, make sure you have a spa kit for your shower, a wonderful robe and pair of slippers, and a comforter that shuts out the world. Get off stage and disconnect.
Virgo
The Earth sign of Virgo will be working a lot in 2021, but the payoff could be amazing. Since you’re already skilled at building an elegant, minimalist home, make sure your office is as up to date as possible before the flood hits. When you need some self-care, treat yourself to fresh flowers in multiple spots around the house to maintain connection.
Early 2021 is a good time to get organized. Digitize whatever you can. Upgrade your computer. Consider getting a folding desk that will allow you to secure your home office gear and reduce clutter.
Libra
Air sign Libra needs a studio in 2021. As a natural artist, your home decor is likely lovely, personalized and extremely tidy. Now is your time to step up the space around what feeds your soul. As you work to stay balanced and support those around you, make sure you also treat yourself.
Find a spot with plenty of light. If you need to work in a double duty room, such as a spare bedroom, add a folding screen or a divider curtain in the space; you could even paint one on muslin to personalize your space.
Scorpio
The Water sign Scorpio is all about mystery, depth and rich color. Consider adding wainscoting to an open floor plan to change up your walls, or paint one area of your living room a lush cobalt blue. Even if you don’t live by the sea, you can feel it with the right colors.
Changes may be coming in your living situation, so stay flexible. Avoid buying large pieces of furniture or starting involved renovations. Be ready to move if needed for work or romance. You’ve been working hard and these changes will work well over time.
Sagittarius
Fire sign Sagittarius loves to travel and their home reflects this joy in new spaces and new experiences. Travel limitations due to world events may have you feeling a little stuck. Go ahead and study up on your next travel goal. Treat yourself to a dish or a piece of art from your goal spot as you dream.
The year 2021 will be a time of vulnerability for Sagittarius; there will be a lot of new feelings coming up and out, particularly around the May lunar eclipse. Be ready to invest in a renovation or upgrade to your home if budget allows. Dig your roots down deep and revel in your home as a haven when you feel exposed to the world.
Capricorn
Earth sign Capricorn has always been a hard worker, but 2021 may be a time to step back and reconsider goals. What are you working for? What will you do when you reach that goal? Your home is likely a reflection of this dedication; you’d rather eat on the floor and save up for the cherry dining room set of your dreams than buy something of poor quality.
Take a look around at what truly brings value to your life. It’s perfectly OK to adore your possessions. However, 2021 will push you to let your creativity shine. If you need a painting class or want to learn stained glass, go for it. Update your space with your handmade creations.
Aquarius
This Air sign loves to be an outlier in the world of design. An Aquarius home can be loaded with light, natural tones, fresh air and modern furniture, but few antiques or traditional pieces, unless they’re being used in non-traditional ways.
Those in this sign should be ready for changes that could include a state of upheaval. Make changes in small ways. Take a staycation and order a few new pieces of furniture or get your home painted, but this is not a big year for large changes in your current domicile.
Pisces
The home of Water sign Pisces will be a place of contentment and calm. From scent to texture to light to air movement, everything in the home of a Pisces should flow from room to room. Simple white walls will do, but accents and furniture need to be tied to comfort.
Pisces is another sign that shouldn’t be making big changes in their current living space. There are big changes possible in the houses of work and family in 2021 for Pisces. Expansion may be a good idea, but relocation may be required.
