Not only can decades influence the types of styles we choose to implement in our homes, but so can our personalities. Our zodiac signs can give us an idea of our design wants, needs, and preferences. Below we’ve matched up each zodiac sign to a distinct design decade—check out yours below to see which one resonates with you.
Aries (March 21 - April 19): 1960s
Influenced by the hippie movement, the ’60s were forward-thinking, bold, and unconventional. Neon colors and powerful patterns were a consistent theme amongst home decor during this time—there was nothing subdued or subtle about it. You love to take the reigns in your design choices, and you aren’t as concerned with following typical concepts—you love something new and innovative.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): 1910s
Heavily inspired by the Art Nouveau movement, the 1910s were defined in home decor by their natural materials, ornamental designs, and soft, rounded lines. The goal was to create something decadent and artistic without sacrificing natural textures of comfort—which sounds pretty familiar to an Earth sign like you, doesn’t it? While you adore indulging in elegant styles and opulent materials, you also strive to create a space that is comfortable. You want the best of both, and the 1910s were right up your alley in this mindset.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): 1950s
With a love for new trends a dynamic styles, it isn’t shocking that you would lean towards a design decade that was all about colorful accents and bold patterns. The 1950s was a period of adaptability—people opted for furniture and decor that was not only affordable but could work with a variety of options. And we know how much you love your choices, Gemini.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22): 1900s
The 1900s were a testament to the Craftsman style. Given its aversion to industrial concepts, fabrics and furniture were handmade and held a romantic, unique feel—which resonates strongly with you, Cancer. As a sentimental, intentional person, you love the idea of including decor and design ideas that are handcrafted and personal. Additionally, warm woods, natural light, and built-in storage were a big part of the 1900s style, which suits a dependable, somewhat traditional person like yourself.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): 1920s
Out with the old and in with the new—the 1920s were all about glamorous and geometric materials to replace the traditional, organic ideas that came before. Think “Great Gatsby” feel—opulent accents, bold colors and patterns, and a balance of form meeting function. Given your larger-than-life attitude and desire to be a trendsetter, it only makes sense that the Roaring 20’s feel would fit you, Leo.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): 2000s
The 2000s ushered in a decade of calm, relaxed styles. Neutral, natural, and spacious, decor seemed to favor things that were simple, as opposed to overly flashy and decadent. Your practical nature strongly relates to this, Virgo—you don’t see the need in making a giant fuss over things as long as it’s cohesive and functional.
Libra (September 23 - October 22): 1940s
The 1940s saw a shift from the previous decade–goodbye muted colors and strict lines, hello colorful wallpaper, and organic elements. Gingham and florals were definite frontrunners for patterns that could be found in plenty of decor choices. However, this period also held a distinct focus on uniting both form and function in its approach. Given your love of harmony and balance, while also creating a vibrant and welcoming environment, this period is an ideal fit for you.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): 2010s
Authenticity is the name of the game when it comes to 2010s decor. A focus on creating spaces that are inviting, yet true to the nature of the person living there, was a huge part of the decade. DIY and personal touches were prominent in creating a cohesive home. While your tastes may not always match what is currently trending, you are focused on decorating in a way that suits you, not what is considered popular.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): 1990s
The ’90s seemed to run the gamut in terms of design—while some homes embraced a neutral, simple application, others went bold with bright colors and global influences. Think the Friends apartment, full of color and somewhat funky design choices. With your infectious energy, love of spontaneity, and desire to mix things up, it’s no surprise that the shift of the ’90s would appeal to you, Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): 1930s
The 1930’s interior design definitely felt the impact of economic hardship—” The Great Depression” wasn’t simply a title. Industrial elements became much more common to see in design elements, along with muted colors and minimalist decor styles. Clean lines and open concepts were common staples as well. Given your love of sleek structure and minimal ornamentation, this decade would absolutely suit your preferences.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): 1970s
The 1970s had a distinct focus on self-sufficiency and individualization—sound familiar, Aquarius? While colors were still a definite aspect, unique color palettes emerged that set the decade apart. Additionally, designers held a focus on more eco-friendly ideas, and the period saw a pivot back to more natural materials as opposed to technologically influenced ones.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): 1980s
The 1980’s embraced pastels, Chintz, and plenty of florals. However, this period wasn’t as focused on creating something brand new but seemed to hold a mix of previous decades and working with the best aspects of each. You tend to take a free-form approach to your life and aren’t fixated on creating something streamlined and perfect. The flexibility of the 80’s decor scene is a great fit for you.
