How to Decorate Your Living Room Based on Your Astrological Sign

Whether you’re a passionate Aries, a curious Gemini, or an imaginative Cancer, everyone wants a living room that reflects their personality. For many, our living rooms are our sanctuary and where we do much of our thinking and/or entertaining, so this is a room that is close to the heart of many. But how can you decorate your living room based on your specific astrological sign? Here are a few tips to get you started.

Aries

Aries are usually very tech oriented and like to be surrounded by the latest and greatest tech. Go for a high-end flat screen TV; not only do they have great image quality, but it will also allow you to save some space. Aries have a natural need for space and freedom, and clutter tends to make them feel caged in; this is why open floor plans are better for this astrological sign.

Taurus

Taurus’s usually have a great eye for beauty, so only the best will do. They usually highly value their living room, which they often see as the center and hub of their home. If you are a Taurus, bring great energy in with fresh flowers, and don’t hesitate to splurge on the cushiest sofa you can find as well. Don’t forget the soundtrack either, since Taurus’s tend to be vocally attuned. Whether you decide to go for a grand piano or spend a little more on high-end speakers, make sure you that you don’t neglect that part.

Cancer 

Cancers see their living room as a protective shell, a cocoon not only for them, but for their whole family, and you should decorate it as such. Go for cooler colors and make sure that you have a wall or space dedicated to your family pictures and mementos.

Gemini

Geminis are art oriented, but also like great conversation starters. Don’t be afraid to go out of your way to find great pieces around street fairs and small galleries. Or you could get one of the custom star maps which CanvasVows handmake to hang as a feature piece in your room. They will create a custom star map just for you and turn it into a unique piece of art you’ll be able to display wherever you like. This is sure to be a real attention grabber and a great way to spark conversations, which is perfect for verbose Geminis.

Leo

Leos tend to prefer warm colors, so skip the neutral tones and go for something a little bolder like golds or mustard for the living room. Leos also love to entertain their families and guests, so get yourself a few board games and a wine rack that you’ll be able to show off to your company.

Virgo

Make sure that you invest in nice storage containers so you can organize all that clutter in style. Go for warm woods for a more refined, rustic feel. And make sure that you invest in some nice bookshelves as well to fit all the books you love so much.

Libra

Libra’s tend to be a little bit clutter-prone, so make sure to go for a minimalistic design with plenty of storage.  The room should focus on fine materials and feminine curves. Pastel colors are also great for Librans, with a focus on purples and blues.

Scorpio

Scorpios are alchemists by nature and are all about transformation. Go to your closest flea market or used furniture store and find gems that could either be enhanced or get a second life. Look for reclaimed wood and make accent pieces out of it. Anything to satisfy your need for accomplishment and proudly display your work for anyone to see.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius are very open and are usually big on travel, so make sure you have enough space to display your finds from all over the world. A nice oversized bookshelf is perfect if you want to put your volumes and prized possessions on display. Sagittarius people also love entertaining guests and family, so make sure you have a few bean bag chairs tucked away in case the need calls for them.

Capricorn

Capricorns aren’t about softness when it comes to their home decor and they like things that are more symmetrical and orderly. They will usually prefer going for a firm sofa with armrests than something cushier. A nice fireplace complemented by a solid oak table are two other great additions as well. Also, make sure you leave room for a nice home office and add a nice, thick Oriental rug if you want to add a sense of comfort to the room.

Aquarius 

Aquarians are also very technologically inclined and enjoy their gadgets and toys. As a matter of fact, they often like these elements to have a central part in their home decor. While all of these techie gadgets might be dizzying to the average visitor, you’re right at home surrounded by them. So, don’t be afraid to put them on display and make sure that they complement other elements in your room so they don’t take all the attention away. You could even paint the room with cool metallic blue accents if you want something that will make you feel like you’re drifting away into outer space.

Pisces

Pisces tend to be more whimsical when it comes to their personal design choices, so nice ethereal art pieces, or a quaint fairy garden somewhere in the corner would be the perfect addition for you. But Pisces also need structure, so make sure that you invest in a few storage units and shelves as well. Pisces hate when anything or anybody feels left out, and these elements will allow you to tuck all that clutter away in style.

We hope that these few ideas were able to inspire you and get you started on your perfect living room. Your sign and personality should play an important role in every aspect of your life, and making sure that your home decor is in harmony will greatly enhance your home’s feel.
