Aries (March 21-April 19): Scented Candles

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Ornaments

Practical, responsible and devoted: Taureans are definitely not to be trifled with (they are, after all, represented by the bull), yet they’re also incredibly artsy and love working with their hands. So it should come as no surprise that they’d decorate their home during the winter with (mostly homemade) ornaments.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Paper Snowflakes

Remember struggling to craft the perfect paper snowflake while in elementary school, only to push it aside in frustration? Well, Geminis wouldn’t necessarily find that feeling relatable considering how adaptable and speedy they tend to be when tackling any sort of task. Versatile and curious, this lively Air sign would likely decorate their abode with throwback DIY crafts (such as those pesky paper snowflakes the rest of us couldn’t quite master).

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Holiday Doormat

As one of the emotional Water elements (along with Pisces and Scorpio), Cancerians are known for being sympathetic, fiercely loyal (especially to family) and possessing a keen intuition. That being said, they also tend to put the needs of others above their own – even at the risk of being walked over like… well… a doormat.

Leo (July 23-August 22): Twinkle Lights

Often referred to as “natural born leaders” by astrologists, those born under this sign are often known for their bubbly personality and self-confidence. Boasting an effervescent personality that would make others envious, it’s been said that the mere presence of a Leo can light up any room they walk into. Fittingly, they’re likely to opt for charming twinkle lights to brighten those dark winter months. Find more home decorating ideas based on your zodiac sign.

Virgo (August 23-September 22): Holiday Wreaths

Analytical and down-to-earth, Virgos demonstrate a considerable amount of intelligence – although they also have the tendency to use self-criticism as a crutch. Their tendency towards perfectionism, however, makes it likely they’d opt for crafty or unique home decor pieces to brighten their homes during the cold, dark winter nights – think: handmade holiday wreaths.

Libra (September 23-October 22): Stuffed Stockings

Libras are obsessed with finding balance and harmony in all aspects of life. Although gracious and charming on the outside, they loath mess and chaos and prefer their home environment to be sleek and orderly. Which is why evenly stuffed stockings with an equal amount of gifts inside would be their ultimate decor must-have. It should come as no surprise that Marie Kondo herself is a Libra.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Decorative Pine Cones

Resourceful, yet secretly emotional, Scorpios tend to avoid all things materialistic – which is why they’d embrace the relative simplicity of decorating their home with pine cones of all sizes. It’s also a decor pick that is closely in tune with the secretive, tough exterior they put on in public.

Those born under this sign tend to be somewhat shy and reserved, which could also explain why they prefer sacred – and well-designed – personal spaces where they can retreat when the mood strikes. Although Aquarians can be eccentric and energetic, they enjoy holding intellectual conversations and make for great listeners. Learn more about how to decorate with area rugs.
