How To Incorporate More Fire Sign Energy Into Your Interior Design

Are you an Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius? Then you're a fire sign! Your fiery astrological element can be an excellent source of interior design inspiration, so if you want to make some decor changes to your home, consider looking to astrology as a guideline. All three of the fire signs are infamously bold and brave and are more likely to be leaders than followers. So, fire signs should stay true to their astrology placements by embracing loud, unconventional interior design rather than playing it safe as more tradition-craving astrological elements would likely prefer.

Still, you should put thought into different adventurous looks you may want to explore rather than just choosing something at random. For instance, some daring expert-approved ideas include working with stripes, dark wood details, and statement rugs. "I've been very drawn to stripes in interiors recently... Dark timber also feels very luxurious in the right setting..." Briellyn Turton, an interior designer, told BuzzFeed, also noting, "...particularly oddly or misshapen rugs favoring asymmetry. This again leans into our desire for... maximalism." And those dauntless patterns and design details aren't the only way to flaunt your fire sign at home.

Fires appear wild and hot, so don't be afraid to show off those vibes by experimenting with vibrant and statement-making hues in your home. While neon or dramatic colors will typically be too much for more understated earth or water signs, intense hues perfectly fit the unstoppable fire sign energy. After all, flames tend to feature reds, yellows, and oranges, so it only makes sense for fire signs to incorporate those fiery hues into their home interiors.

If you aren't sure how to go about adding loud, warm hues into your home, build a harmonious color scheme instead of trying to add splashes of various hot colors at random. "A color formula that always works for me is using a neutral, textured base as your first 'color'... Then, I layer on a pair of colors from the same family, such as red and coral," Emily C. Butler, an interior designer, told Real Simple. Hot reds and lively corals are perfect hues for fire signs to explore, so if you're a fire sign who enjoys those colors, try to embellish your neutral spaces with the right mix of coral and red to add a passionate pop of color to your home.

Finally, what better way is there for a fire sign to show off their astrological element than to add touches of genuine fire to their homes? For instance, consider investing in a fireplace. "Fireplaces are magical. Not only can they anchor a room, their strong presence often helps make any space feel welcoming... They have magnetic personalities, drawing us to them. To put it another way, if kitchens are the heart of a home, fireplaces are the soul of a room," Elizabeth Graziolo, the Yellow House Architects Principle who designed The 2021 Iconic Home, told Architectural Digest.

But before adding a fireplace to your home, be aware of the price. Getting a fireplace will typically cost between $941 and $4,153, with an average price of $2,467. If you don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a fireplace, candles are a more affordable option that requires less commitment, still adding a touch of fire to any room. You may even want to explore fire sign-themed candles, such as the top-rated Zodiac Collection Boxed Candle, available for $38 at Anthropologie. Get this candle in the Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius option, depending on your astrological placement, to flaunt your fire sign.
