represents family. Display family
heirlooms, repurpose heirloom
furniture and create a gallery
wall of family photos. Home
is their comfort zone so create
space for family connections like
movie or game nights.
LEO: JULY 23-AUGUST 21
People are attracted to Leos for
their dominance, creativity and
self-confidence. Leos like their
lairs to feel as regal as they do.
Think of luxury fabrics like vel-
vet and silk, quality furnishings
and deep rich colors.
VIRGO: AUGUST 22-SEPTEM-
BER 23
One of the Earth signs, Virgos
are practical, shy, and careful.
Focus on creating a clean, nat-
ural zen-like vibe in this space.
Go for flat woven rugs, tribal or
global accents and fresh plants.
Consider creating an altar or
meditation space to sit quietly in.
LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 24-OC-
TOBER 23
Kind, gentle and lovers of beau-
ty, harmony and peace a Libra’s
home needs to feel balanced and
harmonious. Libras are known to
be deeply sensitive to their en-
vironment and require the best
of the best. Think of transitional
style, cohesive color schemes,
matching chairs and pairs of
items as a way to bring balance
into the home.
SCORPIO: OCTOBER 24-NO-
VEMBER 22
Scorpios are passionate and
assertive bunch. Natural-born
leaders, Scorpios tend to make
money easily but are reluctant
to spend it, so their homes might
reflect restraint. The antidote to
this restraint is to give the space
depth with rich, dark tones.
Think deep purples, indigo blue
or inky blacks. Play up a reading
nook, add in candlelight, a mys-
tery novel and a glass of a bold
red wine and you’re all set!
SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER
23-DECEMBER 22
Sagittarians are curious, ener-
getic travelers. Their open mind
and philosophical views moti-
vate their wanderlust. Eclectic,
global, storied and collected are
the words that I would use to
describe their style. Start with
a neutral color palette because
this space will be ever-evolving
as they add new souvenirs from
their travels into the room.
CAPRICORN: DECEMBER
23-JANUARY 20
Capricorns are ambitious, con-
servative, determined, practical
and helpful. Nothing is more
important than family to the
Capricorn, and that must be
reflected in their homes. Focus
on the family room. Typically
drawn to good craftsmanship, fo-
cus on quality wood furnishings
such as large armoires, leather
seating and custom upholstery.
Capricorns have timeless good
taste and see design as a solid
investment and I have to say that
I wholeheartedly agree!
