How to Design Your Home According to Your Zodiac Sign

Your zodiac sign is said to determine personality traits and influence our life choices. No matter what kind of residential real estate in Malta and Gozo you own, decorating your property according to and to your astrological sign can help you create a happier home. 

Here are some decorating tips of how to design and decorate your home to match your zodiac sign that may guide you after buying a hot property in Malta or Gozo or you may simply want to re-paint the walls and to avoid any mistakes. 

Leo design (23 July-22 August)

Welcome to Leo season! The fiercest of all fire signs really comes alive during the hot Maltese summer. Eccentric and fun, Leos love bright colours. When deciding to design and colour your home, which includes any type of real estate in Malta and Gozo, or before buying property in Malta or investing in a home, embrace your signature shades of orange, red and gold.

Orange alert!

Harness the vibrant energy of your power colour in a way that’ll keep your house or apartment in Malta and Gozo lively and warm, even on the darkest winter’s day.

Aim for pops of burnt orange in your soft furnishings or make a statement with a bold papaya-coloured sofa. You can offset this bright colour with a contrasting dark shade on the walls – blues and indigos offer the kind of richness that Leos are really drawn to. 

Go for gold

The lion represents all things powerful and confident – this is where Leos get their strength and determination. Nothing says power like the brilliance of gold in your home! Hang some gilt-framed mirrors (we know you love looking at yourself, Leos), add some accent pillows or create a fabulous feature wall using some metallic embossed wallpaper.

Instant Idea: Bring the sun into your home with flowers. Fill some coloured jars with sunflowers to infuse your house with Leo’s trademark vivacity.

Virgo design (23 August-22 September)

Right next to each other in the zodiac but poles apart in terms of style, Virgo is the perfectionist with a penchant for simplicity. Id you’re buying property in Malta or Gozo, or already own a home, minimalism is the way to go for this earth sign.

Less is Definitely More 

Virgos love things to be organised, uncluttered and Zen-like. Good storage is a must but being organised doesn’t have to be boring. Woven baskets, floating shelves, footstools or benches that double as storage will keep your space clutter-free while still looking stylish.

Choose one beautiful piece per room and make that the hero – whether it’s a painting, a velvet armchair, a rug or even a wall treatment. Keep things simple and striking before designing your dream room – your Virgo soul will thank you for it!

Wood You Believe It?

Brown is your power colour, Virgo, and although that might not seem like the most interesting shade, there is way more to it than meets the eye! You’re drawn to soothing neutrals like dove grey and celadon green which work beautifully with natural wooden accents. From small items like picture frames to larger pieces like dining tables or antique pianos, wood is a perfect addition that can work with many styles in your home.

Instant Idea: Invest in some Himalayan Salt Lamps. The earth element is very important to you and the soft glow they give off will appeal to Virgo’s love of all things gentle.

Libra design (23 September-22 October)

Romantic Librans love harmony and balance and this should be reflected in your design choices even before buying real estate. Your ruling planet is Venus so it’s all about beauty, beauty and more beauty. 

Party Planners

Librans are one of the most sociable signs in the zodiac, so keep your space company-friendly and invest in a gorgeous dining table to host all those dinner parties you’re already planning. 

Librans don’t follow trends, so create a wonderfully eclectic assortment of tableware by shopping at second-hand shops or car boot sales. You’re terrific at mixing and matching styles and you’ve got a great eye for a bargain. You’ll find the balance like you always do!

A Place for Everything…

Librans are also the magpies of the zodiac. You love to create collections of things – sometimes quirky, always beautiful. However, it must be said (sorry) that Librans can also be very messy and prone to clutter. So, make sure you curate your collections. Keep them in check and don’t let them take over your home. Display your favourite objects on a vintage dresser or antique bookcase, but make sure you balance them with empty space. Symmetry is a great rule of thumb for this air sign.

Instant Idea: Pink is your power colour, but there’s no need to turn your home into a Barbie house – indulge Libra’s love of plants and flowers by adding pink orchids or caladium.

Scorpio design (23 October-21 November)

If there is one word that sums up a Scorpio, it’s mysterious. Scorpios are enigmatic and passionate water signs so make sure you reflect those characteristics in your Malta home design or before buying real estate. 

Sweet Dreams (are made of this)

Scorpios are intensely private people and for many, their bedroom is their sanctuary. Splurge on top-quality bed linens and pillows – you want to create a magical retreat where you can shut out the world. Blackout curtains are a must. Be daring with your choice of wall colour. 

Scorpios are drawn to darker shades such as aubergine, maroon, ink blue and even black (your power colour). Accent with silver (never gold) and go for tactile, sensual fabrics such as velvet and cashmere.

Lighten the Mood

Scorpios do not favour harsh, overhead lighting. Create a relaxing mood by opting for multiple types of lamps or install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the lights to the brightness you like.

Instant Idea: Create an immediate ambience with some tall pillar candles in the corners of the room and some scented tea-lights scattered around your home.
