Let your star sign guide your interiors

Autumn is a super popular time of year to think about interior change ups. An ideal time to invest in a Persian Rug. Whether it is for your own home, or you're an interior designer with a new project, you'll be approaching the FF&E (Furniture, Furnishings & Equipment) through a new lens. You'll want to be on trend for 2019, and catering towards the colder weather that is on its way (at least in the UK!). 

If you've hit a bit of a brick wall, or simply need some inspiration to get you started, I thought it would be cool to tell you how the stars can be your guide. I know, it sounds slightly bonkers, but there really are colours for each astrological sign. If you start with your (or your client's) power colour, you'll be off to a strong start. 

ARIES 

Wonderfully fiery, intense and passionate. That's Aries for you. Red demands attention & Aries do not appreciate being ignored. The more shades of red you can choose, the greater your natural powers.

VIRGO

The best communicators and highly intellectual, a Virgo's aura is a gorgeous royal blue. Virgo's have a rational approach to life, and royal blue signifies their desire to be truthful and loyal to those around them.

SCORPIO

The most mysterious of all signs, Scorpios are certainly not afraid of dark colours. Black represents the scorpion. It strengthens a Scorpio's desire to look beneath the surface and stay inquisitive.

CAPRICORN

Capricorns are reliable, solid, traditional and strong. They are known to be one of the more hardworking signs, so tend to be at home less. That said, when they are at home, it's vital that they can relax and feel cosy. Grey is the ideal colour for a Capricorn - earthy and practical.

AQUARIUS

The water bearer sign should swim deep in ocean blues. Calming blue helps create a relaxing atmosphere. Aquarius' live for their passions and have their head in the clouds (in a good way!).

PISCES

Last but by no means least (my sign) is the wonderful Pisces. Pale sea greens enhance healing and connects Pisces with the subconscious. Pisces are known for their inspirational and rejuvenating energy, as is the this colour of life.
