Are you planning on redecorating your bedroom but aren’t sure where to start? Well, the interior design experts at Hammonds Furniture have discovered a new way to pick your interior scheme, and it’s based on your star sign.

They spoke to astrologer, crystal healer, and moon mentor Bex Milford about why the stars have such an impact on our tastes, as well as what colors, materials, and even lighting schemes best suit each sign of the zodiac.

Bex said: “Our star sign indicates which constellation the sun was positioned in when we were born. In our birth charts (which is the cosmic blueprint of our fate, our karmic path and our destiny) the sun represents our sense of ‘self’, our ego and the person we most identify with. It’s therefore natural that our tastes and preferences are influenced by our star sign!

“Our sun sign also shows what we can embrace and develop in order to become our most fulfilled and authentic selves. Throughout our lives we are constantly ‘growing into’ our star sign as we assert our individuality. Taking our star sign into account when we decorate rooms is just another way to connect with this authentic version of ourselves, allowing us to feel most confident and comfortable in the room we’ve created!”

Specialists at Hammonds Furniture used the information shared by Bex to visualize the perfect room design for each sign.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Earth-sign Capricorn predominately has a love of natural materials. Their rooms tend to feature exposed stone, dark woods like walnut or petrified woods, and always an abundance of plants. They also have an appreciation of form and structure. Sage greens with hints of dark earthy browns and greys will appeal to them. Their furniture can expect to be made from natural materials too—woods over metals, with linens and cotton over synthetic fabrics. Natural light is essential for these signs, so floor-to-ceiling windows are the way to go for them. Best interior trend? Rustic.

Sorry, the only thing this Sagittarius likes about this is the chair and plant. The rest is a big NOPE.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

The water-loving sign of Pisces is the romantic creative of the zodiac and loves things to be a mix between bohemian and cosmopolitan. They can’t be pinned down and so their style will range far and wide, but one thing they will like is a link to the ocean. They prefer flowing fabrics over hard edges, opting for silks and marble, as well as distressed white wood and driftwood-effect furniture. Pisces will go for a pallet of lavender, grey, grey blue and pale blue. They also have an enjoyment of finding special pieces in charity shops— from a beautiful dresser they can paint white, or a floor-length mirror that can be placed strategically to reflect lots of natural light. Best interior trend? Coastal/beachy.

As a Pisces, I prefer water colors - blues, greens, teals. White is not watery at all.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Trend-setting Aquarius tends to mix the modern with the old in an eclectic mix that represents their love of freedom. This sign will not follow a design ‘brief’ too closely— they will want to be creative and put their stamp on a theme. They like to go bold with their colors—electric blue, aquamarine, and turquoise might all be found in an Aquarians bedroom, with flashes of vibrant color and neon. They like lots of natural materials, even incorporating glass and feathers into their style, plenty of natural light is also important to them. They also like to up-cycle and may end up designing and even creating a lot of their furniture themselves. Best interior trend? Tropical.

I asked a Aquarius if they would like this. They asked for eye bleach. I think that’s a no.

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

Ruled by Venus, Libra is concerned with balance, harmony, beauty, and art. Think Regency-romantic meets Greek elegance. Cotton and linen are their preferred fabrics, and gold will be their go-to metal. Colour palette wise they like soft pinks, pastel purple, and light green. Anything they consider too ‘tacky’ or brash will put them off, and they won’t enjoy gaudiness. Soft lighting, plenty of candles, and fresh orchids will also be enjoyed by Librans. Best interior trend? Regency.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

This sign is likely to have a lot of antiques, knick-knacks, and photographs everywhere—Cancers are famously nostalgic! Big antique mirrors, old chests from charity shops, and huge wardrobes are staples you may find in a Cancer’s bedroom. They tend to favor a neutral color palette as they love white, pearly hues, and soft pastels. Texture-wise, this sign prefers flowing fabrics such as silk, and silver is their chosen metal. Cocoon lighting and anything that casts a soft beam and will make the space feel nurturing and private is key for a Cancer as they dislike any harsh, garish, or overly bright lighting. Best interior trend? Shabby-chic.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

As the pioneering first sign of the zodiac, you can expect Aries to incorporate a bold streak when it comes to their design preferences. Generally, Aries will prefer to keep things minimalistic (and clutter-free!). A chic black and white base with a statement wall of fire-engine red, crimson or hot pink will appeal to their fire-sign nature. An industrial-style room works perfectly for Aries as this sign favors textures such as brushed metal, steel, and even exposed concrete. Aries is one of the most passionate signs of the zodiac, so a need for mood lighting is a must, this is the sign that will appreciate a dimmer switch! Best interior trend? Modern (but with a bold, statement wall).

Dear God, a thousand times no. Aries hate all the minimalistic boringness; no feast for the eyes. Red is good, even burgundy, but that is some kind of dreadful brick/orange I wouldn't let into my house. My lovely bedroom is in warm golds, sage and plum. I have my grandmother's bedroom set, 2 dressers and a dressing table w/ delicate deco chair. Serious storage. Warm lighting, Vintage suitcase sidetables to hold everything. Art on the walls & bookcases w/ many a book so I may decide where my whimsy may take me. They call out (cuz an Aries has lots going on at once) "Pick me, pick me". Don't get me started on the books in the hall. Sometimes it's a regular cacophany of bibliophilic demands round here. The vintage outfit of the month adorns a black mannequin. Comfy pillows & a fluffy duvet that has been artfully adorned w/ small bits of bonito flakes cuz "decorator kitteh" has decided this is the perfect place for snackies. He knows he is the crown of the room. THAT is an Aries room.

When this person said modern, I think they should have said mid-century modern. Retro. That would make this room much more appealing.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus is the sign of the boujee, comfort-loving bull that exalts in nature but also has a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. Soft throws, plump cushions, thick sheepskin rugs, and materials of velvet and silk are the way to go for this sign. They tend to opt for paler woods like birch and oak, and generally suit pastel shades such as blush pink, pale sage, and light turquoise. They are also often partial to floral patterns. Natural light is important to Taurus, and so they are drawn to big windows, preferably with a view of the garden! This sign prefers a traditional aesthetic rather than a modern or minimalist interior. They are very scent-driven so you can expect scented candles and fresh flowers throughout their room. Best interior trend? Cottage-core (but with a hint of luxury).

Scorpio (October 24 - November 21)

A sign with a flair for the dramatic, Scorpio will favor a bit of black (or very deep brown). They like to make a statement by contrasting these deep shades with clean white and dashes of deep red. As for materials, Scorpios like velour, brushed silk, and either very dark wood or extremely pale to create a strong contrast. This sign likes strong lines interspersed with crescent shapes. Scorpios prefer a pared-back and clean aesthetic, Japanese interior design works well for them. Best interior trend? Japandi (but bolder, with red included).

Confident, daring Leos aren’t afraid to be the center of attention—and this includes in their home!

They love rose gold and creating an atmosphere with spotlight lighting, a dramatic light fixture will be right up their street. Best interior trend? Hollywood glam.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Curious and cheerful, Geminis are known for their eclectic taste and enjoyment of bright colors. This is a sign that will love to experiment with more daring shades such as yellow, this could be in the form of a sunflower yellow statement wall, a mustard headboard, or simply splashes of buttercup yellow throughout. This sign also enjoys light blues and patterns that focus on lines. Linen is a fabric they’ll be attracted to, and lighter airier fabrics, especially floor-length curtains in a more diaphanous material. Their style is contemporary and fashionable with a bit of quirkiness thrown in. Statement standing lamps are also a plus for this sign. Best interior trend? Mid-century modern.
