Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Color Drenching

Bold, energetic, and endlessly driven, Aries is a natural fit for the color-drenching trend – an immersive design approach that reflects this fire sign’s fearless spirit and love of statement-making style.

Ruled by Mars, Aries is drawn to high-impact hues that stir emotion and command attention. Reds in all their forms – from fiery crimson to rich burgundy – speak directly to this sign’s passionate, creative nature. When used in a color-drenched scheme, these tones don’t just decorate a room; they define it.

'Decorating with red can transform interiors, but it’s important to choose shades that feel rich and warm rather than loud or overpowering,' says Simon Temprell, head of interior design at Neptune. 'Maroon, burgundy, and rosehip pair beautifully with greens, while pinky-reds work well with stone or khaki. For depth and drama, darker reds shine when layered with dark wood and gold accents, adding a sense of heritage and glamor.'

Color drenching, where walls, trim, and even ceilings are enveloped in a single shade or tonal palette, creates an all-encompassing look that suits Aries’ need for impact and movement. To keep things personal, layer in textured fabrics, metallic finishes, and curated displays that reflect Aries' lively, individualistic personality.

Decorating with books, bold artwork, or tokens of personal success keeps this sign feeling energized and inspired. Aries thrives in spaces that match their inner spark, and with the right palette, a color-drenched room becomes a place of both power and expression.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Quiet Luxury

Grounded, refined, and deeply attuned to comfort, Taurus is perfectly aligned with the quiet luxury trend – where elegance meets ease and every detail feels considered.

Taurus thrives in a home that feels serene, sensual, and beautifully appointed. Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure, this earth sign has a natural affinity for interiors that blend timeless sophistication with tactile richness. Quiet luxury is less about showing off and more about investing in pieces that whisper elegance – softly spoken, but unmistakably indulgent.

Start with a neutral foundation to create a sense of calm and cohesion. 'The beauty of a neutral scheme is that it provides a wonderful scaffold upon which to hang accents of color,' says Deborah Bass, founder of Base Interior. Shades like taupe, beige, ivory, and warm cognac bring subtle depth, allowing fine materials and expert craftsmanship to take center stage.

For Taurus, texture is just as important as tone. Think cashmere throws, buttery leather, polished wood, and stone accents. Layered lighting, plush furnishings, and curated art collections help to elevate a space from simply beautiful to sensorially rich. Antique pieces or handcrafted objects add warmth and individuality while reflecting Taurus's love of heritage and permanence.

As lovers of symmetry and order, Taureans are drawn to interiors that feel balanced and composed. Mirrored arrangements, paired lighting, and thoughtfully placed furniture bring a sense of tranquility and structure that support both relaxation and entertaining.

For this earth sign, luxury is not loud – it’s quiet, lasting, and deeply personal. A home designed with intention and filled with pieces that bring joy and comfort becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes a sanctuary of beauty, ease, and timeless style.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Maximalism

Lively, expressive, and endlessly curious, Gemini thrives in interiors that feel just as dynamic as they are – and the maximalism trend is the perfect fit for this energetic air sign.

Geminis crave variety and delight in contrast, which makes a layered, expressive home their ideal setting. The current take on maximalism isn’t about clutter, but about thoughtful abundance. Think of the space as a curated collection of color, pattern, and personality – a visual narrative where every piece tells a story and invites conversation.

A Gemini home blends playfulness with sophistication. Traditional silhouettes might sit alongside bold prints, while antique finds are mixed with contemporary art.

'Using a more unusual color pairing in a room will alter the atmosphere,' explains interior decorator Nicola Harding, founder of Nicola Harding & Co. 'The greater the degree of contrast, the more drama in the room. Less contrast creates calm.'

For a true Gemini, it’s the drama that wins. Explore spirited combinations like cobalt blue and marigold, or rich plum with chartreuse. Textile designer Eva Sonaike agrees: 'I love unusual color pairings. My favorite combination at the moment is teal and red. If in doubt, always look at nature, particularly plants and flowers, for inspiration.'

To bring maximalism to life, focus on tactile variety and visual rhythm. Mix velvet with woven cane, lacquer with linen, and layer patterns across textiles, wallpaper, and rugs. Even in the busiest of spaces, Gemini’s innate sense of wit and charm keeps it feeling cohesive.

The Gemini home should never feel static. Maximalism offers a flexible, ever-evolving canvas that reflects their mood, movement, and flair – vibrant, eclectic, and unapologetically alive.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – 1970s chic

Intuitive, romantic, and ruled by the moon, Cancer finds comfort in spaces that feel soulful and deeply personal – making the 1970s interior trend an inspired choice for this nostalgic water sign.

The 1970s aesthetic, with its earthy tones, organic textures, and mood-enhancing warmth, creates the perfect setting for Cancer to retreat, recharge, and reconnect. This sign craves a cocooning atmosphere at home, where design feels emotionally driven rather than dictated by modern trends. A bohemian living room layered with vintage finds is a natural fit for those seeking both sanctuary and self-expression – offering a relaxed, soulful space with a sense of curated, understated luxury.

To bring a retro sensibility to your sanctuary, embrace a warm, muted palette – think soft terracotta, olive green, mustard, and cream, paired with natural wood and stone. If natural light is limited, use the palest tones of beige or orange and opt for chrome or brushed brass fittings to reflect light and keep the space feeling open. Glass doors and room dividers work well in open plan spaces, maintaining flow while nodding subtly to the sleek lines of 1970s design.

Cancers are deeply connected to sensory experiences, so don’t overlook the power of scent and texture. Incorporate soft, tactile fabrics, natural materials, and calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus to create an environment that soothes both body and mind.

For Cancer, a home is more than a place – it’s a feeling. The 1970s trend, with its focus on comfort, craftsmanship, and natural rhythm, creates a sanctuary that speaks to the heart, offering a peaceful retreat with a nostalgic soul.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Art Deco

Confident, creative, and unapologetically expressive, Leo is perfectly matched with the bold glamor of the Art Deco decor trend.

Ruled by the sun, Leo thrives in spaces filled with light, color, and personality. Art Deco’s rich materials, geometric shapes, and luxe finishes speak directly to this fire sign’s flair for drama and love of artistic expression. From brass accents to lacquered surfaces and jewel-toned palettes, this style brings the sense of grandeur and theatricality that Leo craves at home.

For a Leo, every room is a stage – but none more so than the home office. As a sign drawn to creative work and inspiring environments, Leos need a workspace that energizes the mind and fuels ambition. Interior decorator and fabric designer

Designer Flora Soames advises against taking a purely functional approach. 'Given that we’re all spending more time in our home office, it needs to be comfortable and visually pleasing. You don’t have to choose between practical and aesthetic.'

Start with a bold foundation: a rich wall color, textured wallpaper, or a striking rug can set the tone. Layer in sculptural lighting, mirrored surfaces, and furniture with sleek silhouettes or luxurious upholstery. Art Deco’s global influences also suit Leo’s worldly spirit – consider incorporating touches like lacquered screens, vintage statement pieces, or bold artwork.

A clean, minimalist office will never inspire a Leo. Instead, indulge your desire for a curated collection of objects, textures, and finishes that spark creativity and reflect their dynamic personality. As seen in the above dining room, blending antiques with modern elements can result in a space that’s both layered and commanding – a true reflection of Leo’s magnetism.

For this fire sign, home should feel glamorous yet grounded, with spaces that allow their personality to shine. Art Deco offers just the right mix of structure, luxury, and flair to make that vision a reality.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – Midimalism

Discerning, thoughtful, and endlessly detail-oriented, Virgo finds a natural affinity with the midimalism trend – a softer, more personal take on pared-back living.

Unlike the starkness of traditional minimalism, midimalism offers Virgo the balance they crave: clean, functional spaces that still feel warm, layered, and expressive. For this earth sign, home is a constantly evolving project – tweaked, edited, and refined with precision. Midimalism allows Virgo to embrace simplicity without sacrificing comfort or individuality.

This design style favors a neutral, calming palette with soft textures, tactile materials, and furnishings that combine utility with elegance. It celebrates thoughtful curation over excess, echoing Virgo’s preference for quality over quantity. Every item in a midimalist home is chosen with intention, offering both form and function.

While Virgo naturally gravitates toward order, they are also collectors at heart. Midimalism supports this by encouraging curated displays of meaningful objects – items that speak to their experiences, values, or aesthetic sensibilities.

'When decorating shelves, it’s important to consider the spaces you leave empty just as much as the ones you fill,' says Simon Temprell, interior design manager at Neptune. 'Focus on considered items with presence and form rather than filling space for the sake of it.'

Midimalism also supports Virgo’s need for clarity and control without feeling cold or rigid. Built-in storage, soft lighting, natural fibers, and handcrafted pieces all contribute to a space that feels polished but lived-in – structured yet soulful.

For Virgo, midimalism is the perfect intersection of beauty, function, and emotional calm. It offers a grounded, graceful way to live – one that mirrors their quiet pursuit of perfection in everything they do.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Grandmillennial

Elegant, refined, and innately artistic, Libra feels right at home within the grandmillennial decor trend – an aesthetic that blends timeless design with a fresh, personal touch.

Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, Libra has a natural eye for balance and harmony. The grandmillennial look – marked by vintage-inspired florals, classic silhouettes, and carefully curated accessories – aligns with this sign’s love of graceful design and thoughtful detail. It’s a style that feels romantic yet grounded, expressive yet composed.

Libras are drawn to beauty in all forms, but never at the expense of balance. Their interiors often feature soft pastels, warm neutrals, and the occasional jewel-toned accent to create spaces that feel serene yet full of personality. Antiques, heirlooms, and art are chosen with care, arranged in ways that feel both intentional and inviting.

Although Libra adores coordinated styling, their creative side can sometimes lead to visual clutter. That’s why built-in storage and purposeful design choices are key. A dedicated dressing room is an ideal space to channel their need for order and elegance. With clever cabinetry, layered lighting, and a touch of charm, even a modest nook can become a refined retreat.

Add details like a floral arrangement, a well-placed mirror, or a beautifully upholstered chair to elevate the room. A classic window treatment can soften the space and make it feel more restful and complete. This is exactly what a Libra needs to unwind and feel at ease.

For Libra, home is about beauty, comfort, and symmetry. The grandmillennial trend captures all of this, offering a graceful way to celebrate the past while living stylishly in the present.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – Industrial

Mysterious, intense, and endlessly creative, Scorpio seeks a home that feels like a sanctuary – bold, private, and unapologetically personal. The industrial interior trend, with its strong architectural lines and raw finishes, offers the perfect backdrop for this powerful water sign.

Scorpios are drawn to spaces that feel grounded and intentional, with decor that communicates control and quiet intensity. The industrial look – with its exposed materials, matte metals, and precision detailing – offers just the kind of visual structure they gravitate toward. But it’s not all hard edges. Layering in mood-driven design choices is essential to soften the look and reflect Scorpio’s emotional depth.

Color drenching is one way to infuse the industrial style with a sense of drama. This technique involves saturating a space in mid-tone hues from a tight palette, wrapping walls, ceilings, and furnishings in a cohesive wash of color. For Scorpios, rich shades like oxblood, charcoal, deep teal, or inky blue can transform industrial backdrops into immersive, cocooning spaces that speak to their love of introspection and style.

While the industrial trend is often associated with open-plan lofts and urban architecture, it can be adapted to small room ideas, too. Think exposed brick paired with moody lighting, blackened steel contrasted with plush textiles, and minimal ornamentation that prioritizes impact over excess.

The finished result is a home that feels both commanding and calming – a private retreat that reflects their passion, precision, and unmistakable edge.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – Biophilia

Adventurous and free-spirited, Sagittarius thrives in open, uplifting spaces, making the biophilia interior trend a natural fit for this energetic fire sign.

Sagittarians crave a strong connection to the outdoors and a sense of freedom, which can be beautifully expressed through interiors that embrace nature. A Sagittarius home should feel expansive, light-filled, and full of movement, using greenery, natural textures, and sunlight to create a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.

When space allows, take the design outdoors. A sensory garden with bold blooms, water features, and Japanese-inspired elements can offer the dynamic mix of stimulation and calm that Sagittarians love. These nature-filled spaces engage the senses and provide a grounding counterbalance to their ever-curious energy.

If outdoor space is limited, bring the outdoors in. Layer the home with lemon or herb-scented candles, lush plants, and organic materials like wood, linen, and stone. Nature-inspired artwork and textiles can add another level of richness, offering a visual connection to the landscapes they long to explore.

As natural explorers, Sagittarians also love interiors that tell a story. Introduce global influences through travel finds – handcrafted textiles, ceramics, and meaningful objects collected on their journeys. The result is a home that feels both rooted in nature and full of inspiration for whatever adventure comes next.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – Minimalism

Grounded, disciplined, and design-savvy, Capricorns are natural minimalists – but with a love for refinement and heritage that adds depth to the trend.

Minimalism appeals to Capricorns’ innate desire for structure and understated elegance. This earth sign isn’t drawn to fads or frills; instead, they prefer interiors that blend form with function, style with substance. Think curated simplicity: clean lines, neutral tones, and high-quality materials that speak to longevity rather than luxury for luxury’s sake.

A minimalist Capricorn home balances sleek silhouettes with tactile comfort. While they may lean toward utilitarian design, cozy elements are essential for their rare moments of rest. This could mean sculptural furniture softened by natural textiles, or streamlined layouts warmed by layered lighting and textured accents.

Wood plays a starring role here. Whether salvaged, full-grain, or lightly treated, it brings timeless character and warmth to otherwise pared-back spaces. Mixing dark and light tones, or pairing raw finishes with plush upholstery, creates the kind of quiet contrast Capricorns appreciate – classic, but never dull.

Capricorns also have a deep respect for history and craftsmanship. Antique or reclaimed pieces, used sparingly, can bring soul to a space without compromising the minimalist aesthetic. The result? A home that’s calm, intentional, and effortlessly refined – just like Capricorn.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – Futurism

Visionary and forward-thinking, Aquarius is the zodiac’s true modernist – making the futurism interior design trend an ideal match.

Ruled by innovation and originality, Aquarians gravitate toward spaces that feel ahead of their time. A home styled with sleek materials like glass, steel, and polished hardwood flooring reflects the clean lines and cutting-edge ethos of this air sign. But while the futuristic look embraces minimalism, it should never feel cold.

Less is more in modern interiors, but warmth is key. To avoid a clinical feel, layer in texture through soft furnishings, sculptural lighting, and tactile finishes. Muted, neutral color palettes – white, cream, beige, and soft grays – provide a calming backdrop, while deep charcoal or bold black accents offer a sense of drama and definition.

Statement artwork and striking architectural elements are must-haves for Aquarians, who appreciate both individuality and high design. And because this sign thrives on social connection, furniture should be not only stylish but also functional and low-maintenance. The aesthetic is ideal for spontaneous gatherings and creative hosting.

Blending future-facing design with comfort and character, an Aquarian home should feel like a glimpse of what’s next – bold, intelligent, and entirely original.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – California Casual

Dreamy and intuitive, Pisces is a water sign that feels most at peace by the sea – making the California coastal interior trend a natural match. While not everyone has the luxury of an ocean view, you can still channel seaside serenity into your home through thoughtful coastal decor. This timeless trend embraces an effortless mix of natural textures, calming color palettes, and relaxed styling – all elements that speak to Pisces’ soulful, reflective nature.

'Californian coastal style relies on a soft, light color scheme prioritizing blue, white, and light brown,' says Grace Baena, interior designer at Kaiyo. 'It also incorporates natural elements – you might consider light jewel tones reminiscent of sea glass or shells, with natural driftwood accents. Traditional nautical details like horizontal stripes or shiplap can be used subtly to evoke that coastal charm.'

For Pisces, solitude is sacred, and tranquil, zen-like spaces are essential. Opt for ocean-inspired tones that soothe the senses, and curate accessories with care – think woven textures, linen upholstery, and organic shapes that echo the ebb and flow of the tide. Whether you're working with a beachside bungalow or a city apartment, weaving in elements of the California coast creates a grounded, peaceful retreat that speaks to Pisces’ need for harmony and escape.
