represents family. Display fami-
ly 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 velvet and silk,
quality furnishings and deep rich
colors.
Virgo: August 22-September 23
One of the Earth signs, Virgos are
practical, shy, and careful. Focus
on creating a clean, natural zen-
like vibe in this space. Go for flat
woven rugs, tribal or global ac-
cents and fresh plants. Consid-
er creating an altar or meditation
space to sit quietly in.
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 envi-
ronment 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-November 22
Scorpios are passionate and asser-
tive bunch. Natural-born leaders,
Scorpios tend to make money eas-
ily 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, in-
digo blue or inky blacks. Play up a
reading nook, add in candlelight, a
mystery novel and a glass of a bold
red wine and you’re all set!
Sagittarius: November 23-Decem-
ber 22
philosophical views motivate their
wanderlust. Eclectic, global, sto-
ried 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

Capricorns are ambitious, conser-
vative, determined, practical and
helpful. Nothing is more import-
ant than family to the Capricorn,
and that must be reflected in their
homes. Focus on the family room.
Typically drawn to good crafts-
manship, focus on quality wood
furnishings such as large armoires,
leather seating and custom uphol-
stery. Capricorns have timeless
good taste and see design as a
solid investment and I have to say
that I wholeheartedly agree!
Libra: September 24-October 23
Sagittarians are curious, energet-
ic travelers. Their open mind and
