Aries Style


I’ve had the most incredible burst of energy in the last few days, this always happens when the Sun enters go-getter Aries.  Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and true to being first, it is a pioneering sign that loves action, energy and trying new things. Represented by the Ram and the planet Mars, the Aries person is often bold, brave and enthusiastic.

If you need someone to help you get a plan started, enlist an Aries friend! Just don’t count on them to see the plan through. It's not a bad thing though! The Aries native needs to move on to the next big thing to stay sharp.

Aries people need interiors that leave them space to move around and reflect their dynamic and adventurous nature. Here are a few spaces that capture the spirit of the Ram.

This bold fireplace is the center of attention in this living space. Perfect place to gather for a conversation at an Aries' busy home.
























Bold colors and "busy" patterns. The perfect Aries mix!
























Have an Aries child? Elevate them! The native Aries child loves to be above ground. This bedroom would spark inspiration and imagination in your little Ram. Note: Your Sagittarius child would love this too!


























Bright open and colorful. Perfect for both cooking and conversation. The Aries party kitchen!



















The Aries is a fan of the clever use of space. This loft bed installation is both efficient and fun.

Pisces Style

The Sun has arrived in the ethereal and otherworldly sign of Pisces. Happy Birthday month to you dreamy fish out there! Ruled by Neptune the planet that represents the ocean's, seas, rivers and lakes of the world, Pisceans are very fluid creatures and can adapt very easily to changing circumstances. They tend to be very sensitive to vague feelings and trends that run through the collective conscious and can have amazing, almost psychic responses to everyday situations.

When it comes to the home, the native Pisces is not the tidiest of the signs. They typically are not very preoccupied with the humdrum of earthy and practical things, like house cleaning. Paradoxically, some Pisceans are so aware of their tendency to drift off into the ether that they create a highly organized home where everything has its place. This make it easy to keep it neat without having to think about it so much.

When it comes to style, the Pisces wants a home that is very cozy, a space the shields this sensitive sign from the outside world. Blues and water themes are favored and help the Pisces to relax and recuperate.

This living room is soft and filled with natural diffused light. It's cozy yet minimalist, which helps make it easy to keep neat.

Aquarius Style

Known as "The Water Bearer" and ruler of the 11th house of the zodiac, the native Aquarius is typically described as progressive, eccentric, forward-looking, quirky and unique. Although the 11th sign represents the Zodiac's house of collective consciousness, humanitarianism, groups and organizations, the typical Aquarius tends to be very individualistic. As an Air sign (Air represents intelligence, communication and the mind), their "individualistic" flare stems from a consciousness that is ahead of their time. Most Aquarians tend to have very futuristic views on how we all should function as a collective. At times, an Aquarius can be a bit overwhelming, especially for people that are very traditional. Yet, they always seem to get even the most stale traditionalist thinking. As the world changes and old outdated systems and traditions come to an end, you'll usually find an Aquarius or an Aquarius rising leading the charge for change.

You'll certainly see an Aquarian's progressive tendencies in the style of their home. I am an Aquarius rising, so I know this to be especially true. Throughout the home you'll see very contemporary styling juxtaposed with traditional elements. Aquarians tend to love the contrast. It is a constant reminder of our transition into the future. You'll also find lots of technical gadgets, most having to do with communication. Here are a few examples of Aquarian décor:

Aquarians typically love the color Turquoise. Note the contrast of modernity in styling and tradition in materials.

This is a great Aquarius bedroom. It's very contemporary and simple, yet, cozy. The Aquarius is one of the two signs that can actually benefit from having a TV in the bedroom. The other is the fellow Air sign, Gemini.

Capricorn Style

Capricorns are generally known as solid, reliable, dependable and respectable. Anyone with a Capricorn friend knows that they have found someone they can count on. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of responsibility, structure and permanence, Capricorns represent the glue that holds everything together. This may not sound as crazy, sexy or cool as other sassy signs, like Scorpio or Leo, whose energy is more outwardly oriented, but there is an inherent sense of foundation that Capricorns enjoy. Caps like to hide their "cookies", so to speak. If you want some serious love heat, find your way into the heart of a Capricorn! It's hard to get there, but once you do get there, you'll find a cornucopia of sexy love all with the backdrop of stability.

Capricorn is an earth sign and this is certainly reflected in their style. At home, a Cap wants things traditional and highly structured, yet they like a sense warmth and structure as well. Here are a few great examples of the Capricorn style at home.

Note the luxurious fur-like rug and the velvety textured sofa. All with a clean and ordered white backdrop.

This is a great example of a traditional living room. The exposed brick and sophisticated style is very Capricorn.

The home office is essential for the native Cap. A typical Cap loves to work and needs a place to do so at home, even if they work in an office building during the day.

Sagittarius Style


Right now, the sun is deep in the festive and free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. This time of year is typically filled with optimism and holiday fun. Ruled by the expansive and lucky planet Jupiter, Sagittarians tend to crave wide open spaces, new adventures and learning new things. The native Sagittarius typically has a deep connection with the great outdoors. In fact, the true Sagittarius can sometimes find it difficult to be indoors for too long!

When it comes to the home, Sagittarians love to bring the outdoors inside. I would call their style "Modern Rustic". Here are some examples that I believe capture the home style of Sagittarius.


This headboard would definitely intrigue the true native Sagittarius. It has a rustic look, yet, has an unusual twist.

































Another great example using reclaimed wood.
