ARIES
Crammed bookshelves and displays of coffee-table books are Aries’ trademark, giving them a chance to subtly boast about their intelligence, as well as adding decoration and personality to rooms.
TAURUS

Hide AdA luxurious bedroom and sensual textures - think satin, faux fur, and linen - really appeal. Decorations should feature soft calming colour tones, such as a dusty blush or powdered aqua.
GEMINI
Light, airy rooms without fuss and clutter - especially the living area - suit Geminis. Their preference is for pared-back decor, so think shutters rather than curtains, hard floors and a few rugs, streamlined furniture (including a glass coffee table) and plenty of plants.
CANCER
Lilac should be central to their colour scheme, as it evokes a sense of creativity and peace and allows Cancers to relax. Patterned curtains, plus a coordinating blind, cater to their need for privacy, and create a sanctuary where they can retreat and shut out the world.
LEO
Alongside bold tones, Leos love metallic finishes - particularly gold tones, which, when combined with jewel shades, help conjure a dramatic and elegant space.
VIRGO

Hide AdMuted shades for walls, rather than too much over-powering colour, appeals. A chalkboard painted wall makes a great addition, as Virgos love making lists and plans.
LIBRA
Statement pieces and sparkly accents - such as glittering chandeliers, large mirrors and chic home bars or trolleys stocked with beautiful glassware - will work a treat.
SCORPIO
An intense colour palette - forest greens and inky blues complemented by dark woods - suits Scorpios’ intense, moody nature.
SAGITTARIUS
With their wanderlust and love of an eclectic interior, exotic ‘wish list’ buys include Oriental-style pieces such as chests, Persian rugs, and Moroccan tiles for walls or table tops.
CAPRICORN

Hide AdTheir typical colour palette features cool tones inspired by nature - think sea blue and olive green - they don’t want anything that disturbs the eye or makes a statement. Conservative by nature, they might experiment with proven classics like mid-century modern pieces, with splashes of colour in accessories.
AQUARIUS
Hip innovative art and neon signs, framed record albums sleeves and quirky lighting, from paper lanterns to animal lamps, are all best buys for an Aquarius space.
PISCES
Solitude, peace and quiet are key, along with creating a calm vibe. Subtle tones and hints of ‘bling’ - think metallic finishes, mirrored surfaces and clear glass - which bring light and sparkle to their homes will also please.
