Brilio.net/en - Sunshine lifts our spirits, cloudy days bring us down, and the moon can move the ocean.
Is that really how it works? Supposedly yes, but actually no. Every person has his/her turns-on and turns-off, such as individual home decoration and furnishing style. One ay be favoured by one person while also rejected by another.
You might be surprised at just how much impact your zodiac sign has on how you design your home. Find out which decoration style fits your zodiacs personality:
1. Aries
You are really energetic, optimistic, and impulsive. You're a go-getter, and admired by people around you. From time to time, you seem larger than life, and your home is no different.
Alwayslet your adventurous spirit shine throughout your home. Spotlight everything youve seen around the world. You've done and seen it all, and your experiences make you who you are. Incorporate pops of red, strong metals, and a heavy English antique or two into your look.
Neverforget about your loved ones and guests when designing. Their hands helped you to reach the sky. Your home will be more balanced, and you will be happier if you surround yourself with tiny reminders of those you love.
2. Taurus

You're patient, tenacious, and affectionate. You do not like much change, and you hold your belongings dearly.
Your precious collection will make great decor. Alwaysplace them in any style that suits you: in neat orderly rows, or piled high in a messy fashion. You are a natural antique lover, and your elegant and refined taste can make even the smallest apartment take on the personality of a luxury manor.
Neverdecorate a room with too feminine (or masculine) of a character. Grouping like with like is always a good idea, just to add balance. If you have a collection of Chinese porcelain, for instance, arrange it beside a leather sofa or a copper lamp.
3. Gemini
You're full of life, vigorous, clever, and sociable. You have to life with freedom and the opportunity to express yourself.
Always decorate and set up a home which accommodates creative activities and entertainment. You may begin with a warm and lively rooms by using yellow and blue as accent, and stacks of good books for your flowing inspiration. Some design magazines and art books also will do. Be sure your home is always ready for a good party by provding extra seating, and plenty surface for guests to set their drinks.
Never neglect the less fun but super-important things: finding a home for all your belongings. Without this concept in mind, your home can easily be over-stuffed by half-finished projects.
4. Cancer
"Home is where the heart is" must have been a sacred motto for Cancer. Family, tradition, and nostalgia, these are all essential to you.
Always give your kitchen extra attention. As the heart of every home, a kitchen is a place where friends and family bond together. Keep it clean and uncluttered, so you and the entire family will be happy to spend time there. Fill it with warming decorative elements that suit your style.
Neverforget to incorporate strong metals, especially silver, to cool down all that warmth. And don't forget to get out and about (get your family a walk in the park on weekend, for instance). You'll appreciate your comfortable home more when you return.
5. Leo
You're passionate, creative, extravagant, and the ruler of your kingdom. Youll strive to get what you want, especially when your mind is made up.
Always let your passion for luxury loose. Think about Versailles made modern, or Hollywood fro the home version. Fact is, you dont need a French kings wealth to bring the nuance of Hollywood, France or Italy into your home. Just get yourself some good home decorating magazines. Consider using wallpaper in gold shades on one or two of your walls.
Never overdo it. All that brilliant and bold colors need a cool and relaxing backdrop (think white, blue, taupe or gray) so you aren't left blinded by the light. White walls, a cool and light palette, gold accents, and pops of fuchsia will strike the right balance.
6. Virgo
You're practical, humble, extremely hard working, and a bit of a perfectionist.
Always take the output of all your works and incorporate them into your decor. Handicrafts, flower pots, jars of preserves, that half-knitted scarf, these can all look great clustered on a tabletop, buffet or gathered in a rattan basket. A home filled with items that are beautiful and functional: that's your goal.
Never take the burden to make your home flashy. Leave that to the other signs. Feel confident that simple is beautiful, too. Although a bit of light from a reflective surface (try vintage brass hardware or a mercury lamp) will bring out the warmth of rustic wood.
7. Libra
You are diplomatic, polished, and artistic. You value beauty, art, and harmony, and you charm every people you meet.
Always embrace your natural instincts. You fond arts, flowers, crystals, and memorable objects from your vacation around the world. By nature, you know the importance of balance in design. Objects or ornaments from China, Tibet or Japan will add layers of depth and intricacy to your cool and modern home.
Never forget to keep a corner in the house for yourself. The strong bond that keeps your family to look often, yet every union is strenghtened when the people in it have a little space for themselves.
8. Scorpio
You're ardent, passionate and unyielding as well as imaginative and intense beneath a cool exterior. But nobody will mess with you! You are a formidable opponent, indeed.
Always celebrate your live of the dramatic in your homes decoration. Use stong colors and bold patterns to make a statement. Maybe crimson and burgundy as accents, a Moroccan rug beneath the coffee table, and some pop of metal. Make sure to invite friends and family to share the bounty. Giving others will bring you true happiness.
Never forget to give the eyes a rest from time to time. White painted sills will make a nice balancer for all the drama, and some soft lights penetrate the thin vitrage will soothe more than one jarring candelar.
9. Sagittarius
You are energetic, big-hearted, and ambitious. You are always up for a new challenge. Above all, you value your freedom.
Always bring your love of the outdoors in. Your strong sense of wanderlust may cause you to think interior design is not for you. Well, you don't plant roots anywhere, so why decorate? But design doesn't have to be complicated to be beautiful. Select items that are functional as well as beautiful, and then find a home for each of them. Functional items can also be decorative, as long as the overall look is clean and paired down.
Never let clutter bring down your clean aesthetic. Unfinished projects happen to everyone, so just make sure they have a temporary resting place that is out of sight.
10. Capricorn
You're reserved but ambitious, striving upward and outward while remaining grounded.
Always mix the colors and textures of the earth in your home: rustic woods, bamboo, natural rugs, iron, and the colors of dark green and brown. Bring in pops of color and complexity with exotic handmade textiles and artifacts from Morocco, India or Mexico.
Never go overboard with the midcentury look. It's not the 1950s anymore; make sure no one thinks otherwise if they pop over for a visit. Streamlined Danish furniture is a good thing, but skip the vintage toaster and swap out retro fabrics for hand-dyed versions you sourced from Etsy.
11. Aquarius
You're an original; a thinker whose thoughts are entirely his/her own. You do things your own way, and you dont mind if others know it.
Always bring that independence and appreciation for individuality into your home. If you like something, just use it! Put it out for people to see. Never worry if it deviated from its real purpose. Remember to keep your home light, bright, and airy (white walls and paper light fixtures are good if you have enough natural light).
Never oerlook the importance of warmth in a home. Use splashes of warm and bright colors (such as fuchsia, orange, or yellow) and some soft textiles to add balance in your cool and refreshing home.
12. Pisces
You're intuitive, imaginative, and an romantic. Youll prefer to go with the flow, until youre taken down for the count (usually by yourself), so you need your home to be a haven.
Always let your boho self sparks. Pile on the patterns, textures, and color. Get that quilt from the flea market and the table covered with rows of Portuguese tiles. Make sure every guest knows the story behind each and every object and what they mean to you.
Never forget that Anthropologie catalogs, even if they make you drool a lot. They are not reality. Real life requires practical solutions, in addition to cuteness and wonder. So choose function over form in the kitchen (no cutesy measuring cups), and make sure your homes biggest spends are built to last.
