According to your zodiac, what colour should you paint your house

Redecorating your home can be a tedious task, especially when you have no idea what colour palette to follow. This is even truer when it comes to deciding the colour of your walls because ultimately, you’re stuck with it for a while and it sets the tone for your room. If you’re oscillating between nudes or colours, then perhaps it’s time you look to your astrology sign for some guidance.

Any sort of interior design or interior changes to your home needs to be carefully curated to your own unique taste. Essentially, your home is your safe space. It is within the comfort of your home that you find solace and peace of mind. However, to validate your choices, you can look to your zodiac power colour to understand what colour speaks to your soul and provides it with the most comfort. Compiled from Reader’s Digest, here’s what colour you should opt for according to your zodiac.

Aries (March 21- April 19)

If there was one word, we could use to describe Aries, it would be bold. This fire sign is all about passion, bravery and intrigue so it’s only fair their home is as striking as they are. Aries, therefore, enjoy a pop of colour here and there and there is no better colour than Signal Red. They could add accents of this colour or even paint an entire wall red but any amount of red will be perfect to make an Aries’ space unique to them.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus tend to have very distinct homes. Their homes are exclusive to their tastes and they lean towards louder, more colourful art or furniture pieces with brighter colours or velvet textures. So of course, there needs to be a neutral tone somewhere to compensate and maintain some semblance of balance in the room. For this reason, we see no better match than a nice off-white paint colour, perhaps Lavender White, for Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Geminis are air signs which automatically means they require an ample amount of light which also tends to be an important detail in interior design for them. If their walls are darker colours, it can create a claustrophobic feeling which is why they require a light colour. However, any whites would be too mundane so a neutral light yellow or champagne gold like Diyar would be ideal for this sign.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)

Cancers are extremely family-oriented signs. Their family and in relation, their home is very important to them. They have their own style that centres around making their home a completely separate place from the world. A colour perfect for cancers would be a soft, neutral, blue with grey undertones like that of Ocean Blue.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leos are like royalty when it comes to designing their homes. Their designer senses demand something loud, that would be considered the finest of all. Reinforcing the idea of their regality over all others, the perfect colour for this sign would be a scarlet-like red, specifically the Salsa-FCT. Add a few hints of gold with furniture or decorative pieces and they’ve got themselves the whole royal package.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgos are earth signs and with their deep connection to the earth, it comes as no shock that they are extremely caring and stable. Just like them, their walls must imitate their state of calm. They enjoy adding earthy colours to their homes and you may even spot several plants in a Virgo home. To complement this, a colour perfect for all the Virgos out there is Brown for a lavish look.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Despite being earth signs Libras have a very different niche to that of Virgos. They tend to lean towards pastel colours rather than earthy browns, oranges or greens. Libras also prefer silks or cotton fabric and require a soft, beautiful and balanced look. Deep Pink would therefore be a colour that would perfectly match the aesthetic that Libras go for.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpios are very mysterious beings. They prefer being in the shadows and that manifests itself in the form of choosing darker and richer colours. Thus, colours like black, dark greys or purples would be favoured by Scorpio. The ideal colour for a Scorpio would definitely be Windsor Purple which will add that eerie element to their room.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius homes are stimulating to the mind and evoke a sense of thrill to be in. Their homes, therefore, require a lot of vibrance and bright energy and so an unconventional colour like African orange would be the ultimate choice.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorns are born around the coldest time of the year and so they require a warm and mellow environment all year round. Their uptight nature leads them to lean towards more minimalistic designs for their home. To accent their heavily wooded home, they should choose a creamy grey like White Ice.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarius are as modern as they come, especially when it comes to interior designing. To avoid clashes with bright-coloured furniture or art pieces, it would be best to go with a darker, more basic colour like charcoal which will ensure their environment has a dash of colour but isn’t too overstimulating either.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Being a water sign, your safest choice as a Pisces would be a blue. Pisces enjoy their environment when it is carefree, nothing is forced and each detail blends into the other, like a painting. An ideal shade of blue for Pisces would therefore be Pacific Ocean, a turquoise that will help you to attain that nonchalant vibe.
