When I'm not dreaming of the latest decor trend (chalk it up to the Livingetc effect) or looking at my Co-Star reading of the day, you will likely find me researching the best way to elevate the mood in a living space. As is my brilliant job as a home wellness writer.

And today, I've managed to bring three very special topics together with one stunning idea. Home decor for Feng Shui that caters to your zodiac sign. This blend of East and West ideologies sprinkled into design is the perfect way to make your home feel beautifully personal.

What will it be for you? Cocktail carts, canopy beds, or trinket shelves? Let's find out.

1. Capricorn: Cocktail Cart

"Capricorns are always striving for success," says Feng Shui expert Marie Diamond. And she explains that this trait includes putting on their best host hat in a comforting home atmosphere. So if you're a Capricorn, your Feng Shui zodiac decor pick is the diamond of hosting essentials — a cocktail cart. And you can always repurpose this versatile item to elevate tea time or even use it as a display stage, too.

2. Aquarius: Contemporary Sculptures

20th January to 18th February

"Eclectic Aquarius is all about innovation and independence," says Marie. "And on that note, decorating with sculptures is ideal for aquarians." She recommends integrating a kinetic sculpture, sleek air purifier, alongside a white orchid plant in the West to enhance health and abundance with a mod twist. And to truly harness the power of your Feng Shui living room, she suggests adding electric blues or chrome finishes.

3. Pisces: Canopy Bed

19th February to 20th March

"Pisces is the dreamer, and they need an escape," says Marie. "Gauzy canopy beds with soft fabrics and hanging crystals channel divine, floaty vibes." She also recommends adding sea-inspired colors like aquamarine, opal, and pearl in the West to enhance creativity and career flow. And what's best is these are some of the best colors for a good night's sleep. So if you're a Piscean looking to give your bedroom a spruce, a dreamy canopy bed might be the move.

4. Aries: Red Statement Chair

If you're an Aries and you've been looking for a sign to experiment with color. This is your chance to decorate with red. "Bold, fearless Aries thrives in a space that exudes passion and power. A fiery red or crimson accent chair in the South of your living room energizes the room and gives Aries a throne to brainstorm world domination," says Marie. "Bonus Feng Shui points if it’s angular and modern. After all, Aries doesn't do frilly."

5. Taurus: Colorful Tufted Rug

20th April to 20th May

When it comes to selecting the perfect Feng Shui decor, Marie tells me that sensual Taureans are best accompanied by accessories that blend luxury and grounding comfort. "A plush tufted rug in earth tones softens any space and encourages abundant energy. Think yellow, beige, orange, or rose," she says. "Place your rugs in the Southwest area to enhance relationships, since Taureans adore cozy couple time."

6. Gemini: Floating Trinket Shelves

21st May to 20th June

When it comes to Feng Shui decor for this zodiac, Marie finds that mini floating shelves for trinkets are ideal. "Gemini is the most outspoken of the zodiac, full of curiosity and duality. Install floating shelves in their creativity or wisdom area, the Northeast, to showcase books, quirky figurines, and conversation starters," she comments. "Keep things modular, especially since Gemini gets bored fast."

7. Cancer: Moon-Shaped Wall Mirror

21st June to 22nd July

Where Cancers are concerned, Marie tells me that this zodiac is ruled by the moon and drawn to emotional harmony. "Cancer's perfect Feng Shui decor item is definitely a moon-shaped or round Feng Shui mirror, representing the metal element," she says. "When placed in the Northwest enhances emotional reflection and flow. Bonus points for silver frames or soft lighting around it for lunar vibes."

8. Leo: Gold Framed Gallery Wall

23rd July to 22nd August

If your zodiac sign is a Leo, Marie explains that you need a home that truly celebrates you and your creative flair. "From a Feng Shui point of view, a beautiful gallery wall featuring gold or sunburst frames placed in the South activates fame and recognition energy," she notes. "You can also feature a mix of personal photos and bold art in your living room that makes guests wow at your gallery."

9. Virgo: Glowy Table Lamps

23rd August to 22nd September

Marie tells me that Virgos love functionality with a serene aesthetic. And as a September-born Virgo through and through, I must admit that she is absolutely spot on. "I recommend decorating with minimalist table lamps that offer soft, warm light. This is perfect for enhancing health energy in the East," she suggests. "And you can layer in natural linen or ceramic bases to reflect Virgo’s earthy, nurturing side."

10. Libra: Rose Quartz Decor

23rd September to 22nd October

When it comes to zodiac flowers for Libra, roses are the romantic blooms tied to this sign. So it should come as no surprise that rose quartz decor is their Feng Shui feature, too. "Harmony is everything to Libra. Feng Shui them up with balanced armchairs, matching pillows, and rose quartz decor placed in pairs in the Southwest," she says. "Opt for light pinks, creams, and gentle blues to elevate Libra’s signature aesthetic."

11. Scorpio: Stylish Covert Storage Stool

23rd October to 21st November

According to Marie, Scorpios love a touch of mystery. "If you're looking to tap into Feng Shui through your zodiac, I recommend using stylish concealed storage, like ottomans or built-in bookshelves, to keep your private treasures secret," she says. "You can also accessorize with an amethyst crystal lamp or a dramatic floor light with dimmer settings. Focus on the Northwest for support from helpful people."

12. Sagittarius: Chic Room Divider

"Global Sagittarius needs constant inspiration," says Marie. And if we had to select one sleek piece of Feng Shui decor for this thrifty zodiac, it would have to be room dividers. These retro-style functional room separators are now being used to upstyle living spaces and conceal eyesores. "Take your living space to the next level with candles or incense burners," she says. "This will uplift energy and invite philosophical musings."


Once you're done taking care of the look of your space, it's time to satisfy the rest of your senses. And why not continue on the zodiac route by perfuming your home with spring scents based on your star sign?
