How To Paint Your Home According To Your Zodiac Sign

The study of astrology is a unique and fun way to learn more about ourselves and the people around us. Based on your date of birth, knowing your sun sign opens up the door to exciting insight and clarity on why we are the way that we are. There are 12 zodiac signs in total, with each one divided into four different categories of earth, water, air, and fire (via the New York Post). While each person's birth chart includes other signs and placements, your sun sign is the most important and easy to find.

If you've been looking to spruce up your interior and change some color schemes at home, consider doing so based on your zodiac sign. According to Home Glazer, touching up the interior walls of your home can invite positive energy and increase the value of your property. Though it might be unconventional, taking a deeper look at the colors that supposedly share a connection to the day that you were born also might result in your home feeling more comfortable and warm. To that end, keep reading for our guide on how to paint your home according to your zodiac sign!

According to PureWow, those born between March 21st and April 19th fall under the first zodiac sign of Aries. In addition to being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is also the first fire sign within the study of astrology. Known for being passionate, funny, and outgoing, Aries can be a bit wild and rowdy when they are in their element. They also appear very confident and sure of themselves, making them rather intimidating. Though they have a reputation for having a temper, Aries is also loyal to a fault and will defend those in need. 

Red is often associated with the sign of Aries, but be sure to stick to darker shades of the color when painting your home. Additionally, while red might be a bit intense for some, having a statement wall in your living room or bedroom can add some major depth and style to your space (via Elle Decor). In addition to being passionate, red can increase the energy of a space. Depending on the color of your cabinets, the kitchen might be another great option for a red accent wall.

As the first earth sign, Taurus should add sage green to the interior of their home in order to create a serene and calming space. Occurring between April 19th and May 20th, Taurus season is the first one dedicated to earth signs, promoting a sense of groundedness and stability (via Co-Star Astrology). While Taurus is said to be both stubborn and strong-willed, they are also known for having a taste for the finer things in life. Being that they are ruled by the planet Venus, it is no surprise that these earth signs have a knack for luxury and beauty.

According to Lonny, sage green is a hip and trendy shade that adds earthiness to a home. If you're not sure that you want to commit to a full wall of sage green, paint your cabinets with this cool and soft shade to brighten your space. However, if you do decide to do your walls, make sure that the other colors throughout the room remain neutral and simple. Also, keep in mind that warmer hardware and wood look very nice with sage green.

Gemini is an air sign that is known for being talkative, dynamic, and sometimes a bit chaotic. Represented by the twins, those born between May 22nd and June 22nd have Gemini as their sun sign, as noted by Cosmopolitan. In addition to being witty and clever, Geminis also have a tendency to be two-faced, resulting in a lack of trust from others. However, when Gemini is confident and secure, they make great friends and partners, proving their loyalty and love through acts of service and support. 

That being said, it is incredibly important for a Gemini to live in a calming and harmonious environment. To that end, blue is very easy to pair with and match to, and it also evokes a serene and relaxing setting (per Private Property). However, different shades of blue create different vibes. For example, dark or navy blue is more traditional and has a more elegant feel. Being that dark blue is too practical for a Gemini, they would be better off with a very light blue that creates an airy atmosphere.

Cancer is the first water sign within the zodiac and they are also considered as one of the most nurturing signs. According to Allure, Cancers are born in the summer between June 21st and July 22nd. Represented by the crab, cancers may appear to have a shy or guarded exterior, but you will quickly see their softer side once they open up. In addition to being protective and caring, Cancers can also become a bit possessive. 

Cancers should add some ethereal colors such as periwinkle or lavender to create a sense of home and comfort in their space. Per Homedit, lavender is actually much more than just a single shade, meaning you have a lot of range while using this paint color. From darker lavenders to more pink-based hues, lavender has nostalgic and innocent energy to it. Lighter shades of lavender are also said to have a calming effect, making this paint color the perfect option for Cancers who suffer from anxiety or over-stimulation.

Leos are summer babies that are born between July 23rd and August 22nd, as noted by InStyle. Ruled by the sun, it is no secret that Leos love attention, and they do a great job at attracting it. Often having vibrant and magnetic energy, Leos like to embody a sense of royalty, making a deep purple the ultimate color for their bathroom or closet. While these chic fire signs don't want this color to cover their entire home, they should definitely treat themselves to at least one room where they can let their dramatic side take over and thrive.

If you're worried that a dark purple will darken up your space too much, go with a mauve or plum shade for a timeless yet playful scene (via Better Homes & Gardens). While a dark purple definitely might be too much for your living room or bedroom, a small half bathroom that has no windows might be perfect for creating a moody and sultry environment. Just be sure to add some candles and modern soap dispensers to complete the vibe.

Virgos are born between August 22nd and September 22nd according to Co-Star Astrology. This earth sign has a reputation for being organized, intelligent, and hyperaware. However, they can also be a bit judgmental. Considering that most Virgos consider themselves to be perfectionists, a simple and neutral palette is the best way to achieve a clean and crisp look in their home.

In addition to giving you full range of freedom when it comes to decorating and design, neutral paint colors also make a space appear warmer and more inviting (via Allure Painting). Best of all, beige or ivory paint colors allow you to paint all of your walls the same color without the room appearing too busy or overdone. For example, having three or four walls with the same vibrant shade of teal might look a bit tacky, but beige, ivory, or taupe look perfectly fine on multiple walls.

Born between September 23rd and October 22nd, Libras are ruled by the planet of Venus, giving them an innate sense of beauty and sophistication (via Cosmopolitan). Though they are air signs, Libras are considered to be more emotional than both Geminis and Aquarius, and they are often confused as water signs. Represented by the scales of balance, Libras prefer to keep the peace and they make great mediators. 

Since most Libras love a little glamour, a light pink or champagne-colored wall will surely suit their home well. According to Real Simple, light pink and rose-colored paints can actually boost your mood and make you feel happier. While sitting down with Real Simple, CEO of Clare, Nicole Gibbons, said, "Warm pink shades like Rosé Season evoke a sense of optimism and have a joyful, happy feel." If you're wanting your home to not only feel comfortable but also act as a source of motivation or inspiration, pink or champagne-colored walls are definitely the way to go.

As a water sign, Scorpio has an emotional depth and intuition that they don't always put on display. According to Allure, Scorpios are born between October 23rd and November 21st. If you're a Scorpio, you may find yourself drawn to the darker side of life. This unpredictable water sign is also known for being interested in more taboo and interesting concepts, and they often present themselves with an edgy appeal. 

Black and white walls create a special scene in a Scorpio's home that is both modern and mysterious. In addition to achieving a very contemporary look, black and white walls also make a space look very clean and organized (via Home Questions Answered). If you are a Scorpio who has a tendency to be a bit messy, a black and white interior might also help with keeping your home looking put together even when it's not. Also, black and white walls make it super easy to add pops of color elsewhere, whether that be with your rug or some decorative pillows.

Sagittarius is the final fire sign of the zodiac. Born between November 22nd and December 21st, Sagittarians are spontaneous and vibrant people that value fun and adventure over everything (via Cosmopolitan). Though they have a reputation for not taking life seriously, they are also very deep thinkers and are able to see many different points of view. While Sagittarius may be quick to judge and share their opinions, they can also be very open-minded once they have been presented with multiple sides of an argument. 

If you're a Sagittarius looking to add some color and brighten up your home, yellow might be the exact paint color that you're looking for. Per Very Well Mind, yellow is an attention-grabbing color that is pretty much impossible to ignore. In addition to stimulating the senses and catching the eye, yellow is also said to increase one's energy levels, potentially even making your metabolism work faster. However, be sure to avoid ultra-bright shades of yellow and stick to warmer hues that are more golden than they are neon.

According to Co-Star Astrology, Capricorn season occurs between December 21st and January 20th. As the final earth sign in the zodiac, Capricorns are very grounded and motivated individuals. Though they have a tendency to be driven and motivated by money, Capricorns are also said to be very loyal, hardworking, and responsible. 

Being that Capricorns enjoy appearing mature and elegant, navy blue is the perfect paint color for their home. While blue is for sure one of the most common colors when it comes to interior decorating, navy blue in particular has a wide array of benefits. In an interview with Livspace, interior designer Ashwini Gokhale said, "Navy blue indicates calmness, while looking classy and modern. Colors like blue belong to a cool color scheme, so it makes the person's mind very calm. After a hectic day at work, if you enter a blue kitchen or room, you are bound to feel peaceful." Navy blue is also very elegant, and it is easy to pair more traditional-looking furniture with it if you prefer to source vintage pieces.

Born between January 20th and February 18th, Aquarians are represented by the water bearer. This intellectual air sign is known for being rather quirky, non-conforming, and rebellious, as noted by Allure. They are also known for being big humanitarians and revolutionaries, encouraging those who fall under the sign of Aquarius to be free-spirited and open-minded. However, when it comes to the home, Aquarians would do well to have simple and cool walls so that they can easily embellish with décor and unique accents.

While neutral colors such as beige or taupe might be seen as the ultimate simple background, grey is another consistent and solid option that is modern yet timeless (per MyMove). Whether you are looking to create a moody setting with darker hues or you want a plain foundation upon which you can build a quirky and art-filled scene, grey can be used in virtually any part of your home. Also, being that Aquarians have a tendency to overthink or spiral into existential crises, grey can also be used to create a balanced environment.

As the final water sign of the zodiac, Pisces should create a mystical and inviting space for them to flourish in. Born between February 19th and March 20th, Pisces are emotional and intuitive, and they are often seen as one of the kindest and most friendly of zodiac signs (per Mind Body Green). Some other traits often associated with Pisces include empathy, malleability, and naivety. 

If you're a Pisces who would like to add some flair and color, try using teal to spruce up your space. According to Urban Acres, teal uses both green and blue to create an atmosphere that possesses inspiring yet mellow energy. Teal is known to have a soothing effect on the eyes, meaning that you can be put into a relaxed state while sitting peacefully in a teal room. If you're not interested in adding that much color to your home, use some teal paint as an accent on your cabinets or doors.
