Each zodiac sign's personality is distinct in its own way. From the organized and Type-A nature of Virgos to the wild-child tendencies of Capricorns, each sign has traits and characteristics that make it truly unique.
While astrology may be a fun way for some to predict what the future holds with daily and monthly horoscopes, it’s also an underutilized tool for interior design. Incorporating elements of one's zodiac sign into bedroom design can create a space that resonates with your inner self, promotes relaxation, and offers the chance to find inspiration.
Read on to learn more about our design recommendations for each sign and discover how to develop a deeper connection with your astrological identity.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries are known for their ambition, deep-seated competitive streak, and bold personality. As the first sign in the Zodiac, they love to always come out on top! They’re bold, direct, and not afraid of a challenge—and can also have a bit of a temper.
Fiery Aries may prefer a bold, energetic bedroom to match their personality. Consider infusing the space with bright tones, graphic art, and patterned textiles. Red accents, like throw pillows, are the perfect way to add a pop of color that reflects their spicy personality.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taureans love to luxuriate and enjoy the finer things in life. While they like to feel spoiled, they’re also not afraid to work hard and reap the benefits. They’re often driven, loyal, and seek stability in all things—from their finances to their relationships.
This earth sign is, unsurprisingly, grounded by nature. In their bedroom, stick with calming earth tones, like green, brown, or cream for a soft and relaxing palette. To complement these shades, add soothing elements to the space like grasscloth wallpaper, rattan accents, and organic cotton bedding and curtains to infuse a tactile, natural feel. Just be sure to choose luxe pieces and lush textiles when possible to cater to this sign’s predisposition toward feeling pampered.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
The Gemini zodiac is visually represented by twins, showcasing the dual nature of this air sign. They often pursue multiple passions and pursuits and fill their social calendar with non-stop events. Gemini are open-minded, curious, and communicative.
To keep up with those who are always on the move and have a short attention span, consider furnishing a Gemini bedroom with an eclectic combination of accents, textiles, and styles. An unexpected mix will help keep them interested and visually represent their ever-changing interests. Mix different furniture periods—from French Provincial to Scandinavian minimalism—and combine unexpected textiles, patterns, and colors to embody this sign’s two sides.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
As a water sign, Cancer’s emotions are very fluid. They’re easily impacted by the energy of those around them, and—like the crab used to represent them—they can have a tough, almost impenetrable exterior. But on the inside, they crave comfort and compassion.
The perfect bedroom for a Cancer is an indulgent sanctuary where they can retreat and relax in their own cozy oasis. Use calming colors like blue, cream, and white to create an airy space well-suited for self-care. Luxurious textiles like velvet, faux fur, and crisp cotton will also help create a layered, luxe-looking space.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Like Aries, Leo is a fire sign that leads with passion. They love to be the center of attention and aren’t afraid of a little drama. While they prefer to be the stars, they are also fiercely loyal, ambitious, and fearless.
The perfect space for this sign is filled with glam. Think mirrored finishes, gilded furniture, and decadent fabrics like fur and feathers. These dramatic accents will fuel their love of the spotlight, even while in their private sanctuary. Bold colors like red, purple, or even orange can help add the drama they crave.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
For Virgos, order and logic reign supreme. This hyper-organized sign is a typical Type A perfectionist who appreciates clarity and playing by the rules. Their methodical nature makes them adept problem-solvers—and they put those skills to use helping the people they love most.
In a Virgo’s bedroom, everything must have a place and purpose. Opt for a minimal aesthetic that favors order over all else. Scandinavian minimalism is perfect for this sign, with clean lines and little clutter. To complement the furniture, opt for an airy and bright color palette of whites, creams, and light blues to create a calming space where they can privately unwind.
Libra (September 23-October 23)
Libra’s symbol is scales, representing their preference to keep everything in balance. While they appreciate harmony and order, they are also filled with contradictions. While they can be spontaneous, they’re also planners; introverted and extroverted. They avoid confrontation at all costs and are avid people-pleasers, hoping to bring happiness to those around them with their charm.
To embody the Libra need for harmony and balance, symmetry is the name of the game when outfitting their bedroom. Matching bedside tables, paired-up art pieces, and coordinating accents will help give the room a cohesive and put-together feel. But don’t be afraid to mix and match different design aesthetics to speak to their multifaceted nature.
Scorpio (October 24-November 21)
Known for their mysterious and sometimes moody nature, Scorpios are determined, focused, and always thinking ahead. While their singular focus can sometimes make them seem controlling, they are also extremely loyal and unexpectedly connected to their emotions. While they don’t trust easily, once you’ve earned theirs, it is nearly unbreakable.
To reflect their darkness, a Scorpio’s bedroom is the perfect place for a moody palette. Use colors like navy, maroon, or brown that add a cozy, lived-in feel to the space. Complement these deep shades with vintage furniture pieces that offer an old-world aesthetic. Finally, layer in black matte accents for an almost Gothic feel.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
When it comes to fire signs, Sagittarius is the boldest of the bunch. This passionate sign has an adventurous spirit and is always on an insatiable quest to fulfill their curiosity. Unlike most, Sagittarius seeks constant change, loving the opportunity it offers to learn and explore.
Because this fiery sign loves change, think of a Sagittarius bedroom as an ongoing evolution. Start with a stylish foundation—think crisp cotton bedding, neutral walls, and a timeless rug—and add an eclectic mix of art, throw pillows, textiles, and design details. This way, any Sagittarius can swap in and out new decor when the mood strikes but always have a space they love.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorns are known for their resilience and ability to persevere through adversity. And while they’re headstrong and focused, they’re also a bit of a wild child. If you’re looking for the life of the party—it’s probably a Capricorn. Their youthful spirit and relentless determination is a unique combination not found among any of the other signs.
For Capricorn bedrooms, keep things light and playful. Bright, patterned wallpaper, funky artwork, and metallic or mirrored accents will help make a space that doesn’t feel too serious or sophisticated but instead reads fun and lighthearted. You can even try your hand at pattern mixing—like leopard print and stripes—for an even bolder finish.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
This rebellious air sign doesn’t like to think inside the box. They have big ideas and are always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. These free spirits prefer to work outside the system—and change it—instead of following the rules.
When it comes to bedroom design for an Aquarius, the rules are meant to be broken. Ignore typical design conventions and mix different styles to create something one-of-a-kind. Play with the proportion and scale of furniture pieces, create an unconventional color palette, or even wallpaper the ceiling for an unexpected and out-there style.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
This last sign in the zodiac is also the last water sign: Pisces. These daydreamers are creative, idealistic, and optimistic. Unlike other signs that are determined and singularly focused, Pisces is more likely to adapt and go with the flow, embracing the beauty of the journey.
For a Pisces, opt for a calming, water-inspired space with soft hues and flowing fabrics. Chiffon, linen, and cotton textiles paired with sea-inspired hues will create a serene and beautiful space that allows Pisces’ creative energy to thrive.
