How to decorate your house based on your star sign

How your home looks and feels on the inside can hugely influence your life, so it’s important to get it right. 

And now a celebrity psychic and astrologer has revealed why turning to your Zodiac could be the spring board to decorating your home.

Inbaal Honigman told FEMAIL earth signs need a practical environment with no clutter, whereas air signs are inspired by a bit of creative chaos, and water signs live for memories.

She explained: ‘When you feel aligned with your surroundings, you feel truer to yourself.’

With this in mind Inbaal has devised the ultimate guide to decorating your home, based on your star sign… 

ARIES – ART DECO AND RED

March 21 – April 19

The boldest of the fire signs, Aries are known for their bold and fiery personalities. 

Those born under the sign of the Ram adore the colour red in all its glory, so why not incorporate into their décor? 

Inbaal said: ‘They’re unafraid to experiment with different ideas, and art deco works best as it lends itself to bold statements.’

Aries could attempt a feature wall if a jazzy wallpaper or all-red feels a bit too overwhelming. 

TAURUS – TRADITIONAL AND TEAK

April 20 – May 20 

Inbaal explained that those born under the star sign Taurus favour a cosy feel and will likely fill their home with books and vintage finds (pictured, stock image) 

Calm and traditional, those born under the sign of the Bull like linking back to previous generations. 

The astrologer explained: ‘They favour a cosy feel, and will likely fill their space with books and vintage finds. 

‘A traditional look and the colour teak feel like an embrace.’

In addition, wooden furniture could also add that extra homely feel to your interior designs and give it a relaxed aura. 

GEMINI – BOHEMIAN AND CLASHES

May 21 – June 20 

Geminis like a bohemian feel to their homes and so incorporate different textures and colour clashes  

Fun and sociable, those born under the sign of the Twins will make sure everyone feels at home when they visit, with a bit of creative clutter. 

‘Social gatherings are a daily occurrence in the Gemini household,’ according to Inbaal. 

And so a welcoming, bohemian presentation full of colour clashes will make every day feel like a party.

You can incorporate this style into your home through different coloured glassware or even hanging rainbow rugs on your walls. 

CANCER – RUSTIC AND NAVY

June 21 – July 22

Those born under the sign of the crab want to create comfortable abodes that family and friends will love to frequent and so opt for colours such as navy and violet

Young and old will frequent their abode, and they love being the hosts with the most. 

Inbaal suggested: ‘Simple, rustic aesthetic and traditional colours suit a tolerant home where spillages and laughter are welcome.’

Colours that lend themselves well to this aesthetic include blues, greens and violets. 

LEO – GLAMOROUS AND GOLD  

July 23 – August 22 

Regal and maximalist, those born under the sign of the Lion prefer a bright and overstated living environment – with plenty of gold for maximum impact

Black, white and grey is their sensible palette of choice according to Inbaal. 

It is important for Virgos to have a calming and tranquil atmosphere, which makes a monochrome palette a great choice. 

LIBRA – CONTEMPORARY AND WHITE

September 23 – October 22

Libra enjoys a contemporary home decor without fuss and clean white lines. They find it easy to create when surrounded by pale, airy hues 

Inbaal explained: ‘Elegant and poised, those born under the sign of the Scales love a subtle, fuss-free environment, that’s gentle on the eye and doesn’t clutter the mind. 

‘If there are matching pieces – even better. They find it easy to think and create when surrounded by pale, airy hues.’

Pastel colours are also a good choice as they are placid and have a calming effect. 

At the moment pastel colours are extremely popular and the fuss-free libra could easily add hints through blankets and cushions, without adding too many accessories to the home. 

SCORPIO – FRENCH COUNTRY WITH VELVET DRAPES AND A BED ANOPY AND PURPLE VELVET  

October 23 – November 21  

The most gothic sign of the zodiac, Scorpio, likes to take a dramatic yet muted approach to decorating

Scorpios can have a lot of fun creating their ideal home with velvet throws and cushions, plus black picture frames and door handles.

If you are feeling extra valiant, the Archer could consider animal prints and bright jungle-themed wallpaper.

The Scandinavian style of interiors, which is extremely popular at the moment will provide the Capricorn with plenty of inspiration.
