Could the look of your Ideal home be written in the stars? Trying to find the right kind of design for you can seem overwhelming at times. Interior trends and the high street are continually killing it with their home decor, making it hard to know what your personal style actually is.
Every astrological sign carries with it characteristics that make up your personality, but rather than finding out what your sign has in store for you that day or month, what can it tell you about the best decor style for your home? You’d be surprised to find just how much your zodiac sign can really play into your tastes and the ideas you have about your perfect space. Whether that's primary colours and bold prints, or minimalist furniture choices - choosing decorating techniques that fit in with your sign's typical traits will help you create a space where you'll always feel at home. We have rounded up some grand ideas that each zodiac sign would love to use in their dream homes. Will the stars align for you and your sign? Keep reading to find out!
AQUARIUS - ECLECTIC AND ECO-FRIENDLY

Eager to show your individuality, Aquarians adore being just that little bit different. You’re quirky and unique, and you absolutely won't go out of your way to decorate your house like anyone else. You don't desire frills or fancy touches, just serviceable and quality furniture, with maybe something avant-garde to remind you to always think out of the box. Give in to your love of being original by collecting limited edition artwork or try your hand at some creative DIY. You would likely try to incorporate as many environmentally-conscious and eco-friendly options as possible. A good view and plenty of light and air suit your Air element personality - and a loft or penthouse space is perfect for far-seeing, head-in-the-clouds Aquarius! Remember to include areas of your home just for recharging as well as socialising with your closest and most trusted friends.
Below we have selected some of our favourite eclectic rugs from our Persian Overdyed rug collection, all handmade and upcycled from rugs that would otherwise be thrown away.

PISCES - SOOTHING AND SERENE

Intuitive and emotional, Pisces are deeply spiritual people and crave positive energy in their homes. While you value having time to yourself, you are drawn to decorating your house in calm, inviting colours that make others (and yourself) feel relaxed. Being a water sign, a cool shade of blue or teal would be a great colour scheme choice. Ensure your interiors are not just enjoyable to look at but appeal to all of your senses; tactile materials, compelling artwork, and incense will all be welcome in your home. Making space for comfy furniture with decorative and soft throw pillows and blankets is an absolute must. Although you like feeling cosy, you still strive to keep the area open and free-flowing, not just cluttering it up with things for the sake of it - consider creating a space for meditation or yoga. And naturally, you would love to be close to some type of water, whether the house itself is located near an ocean, or even if you just had a large outdoor pool with plenty of deck space to invite your guests.
ARIES - LOUD AND LIVELY

You have a big personality, and you tend to chase after life and experience it as fully as possible. Primary colours call to you, as does opulence; after all, you're a Queen, so your house should look like a palace. Creative and confident with endless energy, an Aries is the kind of dynamic individual who has 10 things going on at once. You’ll want a home that’s highly efficient to take on your energy and drive, so be sure to invest in lots of organisational options to make the most of your fiery personality! Your dream home would likely incorporate bold and adventurous colours and patterns, particularly in your furniture as opposed to on the walls. If your friend calls something too much in Ikea, buy it - for you, maximalism is everything.
Here we have some vibrant Persian Kilim rugs that would suit the Aries design aesthetic to a T.

TAURUS - CLASSY AND CALMING

You certainly enjoy indulging yourself in beautiful things, and you also crave a comfortable and stable environment. Taurus, you're known for the hours you spend in bed and are obsessed with being comfortable wherever you go. Make sure to scatter blankets and cushions over your luxurious bedding, and sink in to escape the world for a while.
You also love pieces built to last - you’ve never been one to follow trends that are in one moment and out the next. Look to create a home with practical design choices that have stood the test of time, along with more traditional detailing and classic elements worth investing in. As an earth sign, you like to use understated tones and neutral colours to really bring together the feeling of steadiness that you desire in your own life. You want to be comfortable and relaxed at all times, so create a space that enables that.
GEMINI - OPEN AND OPULENT

The Gemini is curious and adaptable and there’s nothing boring about them! Embrace your wandering nature and strive for something unique with a quirky living space and a strong theme. You are indecisive and hate routine so creating a home that’s fun and easily changeable is your best bet. In this instance, paint is your new best friend. Why not try out the latest colour trends for your home with some new paint colours on the walls? Then of course, when you tire of it (because yes, you probably will), you can move on to the next fun colour of the moment. Perhaps your pad looks like a Hobbit hole, a Victorian gothic boudoir, a place in the clouds, or a goddess's lair. Let your imagination run wild, and then make that vision a reality. Your kitchen area would serve as a great focal point since you’re known for how much you enjoy delicious food and drink. A wine cellar or even an upscale bar area stocked with only the finest wouldn’t be out of the question for you!
CANCER - TASTEFUL AND TRADITIONAL

Cancers are private souls but incredibly loyal to those they love. The sea and the moon fascinate, compel and influence you hugely, as well as being potent symbols for your star sign. Your ultimate goal would be to make your home as much of a sanctuary from the outside world as possible. Ensure you have intimate areas for good conversation in your home, and be sure to create focal points that aren’t based on the big black box. You have a soft spot for traditional and antique things, so your dream home would absolutely include furniture and decor that fell into those styles. Look at creating pale, white, silvery spaces (accented with pastel hues), ideally with a large, sky-facing window so you can watch the moon's passage. Bring these aspects into your living space, and your mood will always be calm and reflective at home.
Tasteful and Traditional are the perfect words to sum up the Persian rug selection we have hand picked for you.

LEO - VIVID AND VIBRANT

We all know that Leos love to be the centre of attention and their passion and warm-hearted energy makes them natural-born leaders. So why wouldn’t you strive for your dream home to do the same? Your home is your castle, so bold and exciting design choices will show off your bravery and style. Your personality is so outgoing and proud that you need an environment that shouts self confidence and delivers on the glamour you seek in life. Signature pieces and statement furniture would be included without hesitation - the fancier and flashier, the better. A large open plan kitchen fit for entertaining is the perfect element for your home, where you can show off your skills and impress your adoring guests. And let's be honest, you’ll likely ensure there’s no shortage of mirrors around your home - you can make sure you're always looking your best while adding to the aesthetic you want to cultivate. However, you're not known for tidiness, so keep it simple if you can help it.
VIRGO - SIMPLE AND STYLISH

Another earth sign, Virgo is practical and grounded with a methodical approach to design where everything is planned to the last detail. Tasteful, modest, natural, and minimalist- these are the qualities you look for in your home environment. You aren’t one to desire too much; you just want some stability and the feeling of control in your life whenever you can manage it. As a hardworking and practical person, you’ll want to keep on top of a strict cleaning schedule and create a well organised and minimalist style. In fact, you’re probably the best sign to work from a mood board, where each element of a room design is decided well in advance. Your dream home would likely feature neutral colours as they tend to work with just about anything you can imagine. You’d also be interested in finding furniture and accessories that are more for function than for show. Natural light and space are essential so that you've got room to perch and read a book, sit and write, relax and nap. A place for everything, and everything in its place - you cannot stand mess.
LIBRA - HARMONIOUS AND HIP

The Libra, with its symbol of the scales, is all about justice, fairness and balance. It’s no shock that you would do as much as possible to create that type of environment in your home. Librans like space to entertain, because this is one of your favourite things to do. You’re inspired by good books and intellectual conversations so a pair of bookshelves flanking an intimate fireplace is a great way to give yourself the perfect spot to engage in rich conversations with friends and family. As a lover of culture, consider bringing in artwork, music and quality pieces that will inspire your harmonious personality too. You’d like to incorporate modern decor using lighter tones that would feel inviting to guests, without being too overwhelming or too bland for your tastes. Harmony and balance are important to you, so you'll spend a long time getting the feng shui JUST right. Your rooms would easily complement one another without being too crowded or too perfectly matched. You love to invest in things that are tasteful and give an elegant vibe, like airy curtains, sleek throw pillows, or a decorative mirror. All of these things are upscale and never out of style, but also not too flashy.

SCORPIO - POSH AND PRIVATE

Scorpios, mysterious and passionate, are drawn to dramatic spaces. Yet your dream home must reflect the aspects of your personality that are important to you—keeping your life private, introspective, and mysterious. Truthfully, if you could just have a cabin in the woods, you’d be happy. Your home would certainly use darker colours, perhaps in the form of furniture, yet you could also pull off using a darker shade on the walls. In fact, splashes of fuchsia, purple, black, and red only serve to spice things up, which is how you like it. Sensual in nature, you’ll adore rich textures and luxurious materials. Be sure to include tactile, soft furnishings in faux fur, leather, and velvet and include candles and intimate lighting throughout your home to add drama. You're interested in anything vintage, as there is latent energy in the old possessions of others. Include spaces for entertaining but ensure you’ve planned for more intimate areas too. Look for contrast, dare to mix and match colours, styles, and themes. Be bold - you can carry it ALL off!
SAGITTARIUS - CREATIVE AND COMPACT

Extroverted and enthusiastic, Sagittarians are the travellers of the Zodiac. You are intensely curious about the world around you, and this leads you to explore distant lands. Though you may not desire to spend much time at home, it doesn’t mean you don't have some great ideas for your dream space. Bring your travels home with you by way of gorgeous textiles, hand-thrown pottery, and original art. Create an eclectic style that reminds you of your experiences and shows off your warm and adventurous spirit. It's important for you to feel free like you've got space around you; big windows or patio doors straight out into a garden will serve your soul. Theme your home like a wilderness lodge by bringing the outdoors inside using light, space, plants, plus natural woods and fibres. Having holly around makes you smile, while candles and natural flames warm your Fire element nature.
CAPRICORN - SLEEK AND SMART
Image Credit (left to right) - Serena & Lily, Pinterest
Grounded and disciplined, the Capricorn is the epitome of understated elegance. You're a sucker for tradition and comfort, preferring a conservative style and atmosphere over anything modern or themed. Your dream home needs to reflect the things you tend to value—hard work and efficiency. Look for pieces that are built to last and ooze quality with either traditional detailing or in the latest high-quality materials. Family and connections are important to you too, so ensure you have plenty of kid-friendly spaces or areas of the home where the whole family can come together. You strive to stay organised, so you can focus on other things besides keeping all your stuff in line and expect nothing less than the best when it comes to design, yet you’ll never flaunt it.
