Are you curious about what your star sign says about you? Keep reading to find out the perfect paint colour for your home based on the constellations!
Aries Colours
Star sign dates: March 21 - April 19
Aries tend to have strong personalities and like to be number one. They are bold, competitive, and love a challenge.
To match their strong personalities, bold colours like red and mustard are the perfect way to make a statement. When it comes to home decor, we suggest pairing these paint colours with more neutral shades in your furniture, accessories and blinds. Blind options with the widest range of colours are our range of Roller Blinds and Vertical Blinds, both of which are great for controlling natural light and enhancing these warm paint colours.
Taurus Colours
Star sign dates: March 20 - May 20
Taurus are often people who love to relax and treat themselves. They love to be surrounded by nature and soft, soothing aromas.
The best colours for Taurus, are green and light pink, complementary colours which go nicely together. To pair these colours, we recommend choosing one as the base colour for your walls and using the second colour as an accent colour. Your accent colour is great for any items like pillows or candles which can help make the space pop.
Gemini Colours
Star sign dates: May 21 - June 20
If you live for spontaneity, being playful, and tend to be erratic at times, you might be a Gemini. Geminis have a thirst for knowledge and are curious about everything.
Playful and light colours like yellow and blue are perfect for Geminis. To make a space really work with this colour combination, you can experiment with different shades, darker shades so they're not so bright or lighter shades to create a more pastel palette and brighten your home!
Cancer Colours
Star sign dates: June 21 - July 22
Cancers are often people who are naturally intuitive about their surroundings and need to build trust before opening up to others.
Classic colours like silver and white are perfect for Cancers, and work well together to create a sleek and modern space. If the silver feels too much, a grey tone would look just as nice! A blind option for your Cancer-inspired space could be a Sheer Curtain or our Vertisheer Blinds. Both options soften natural light coming into the space to give the room a soft glow, nicely complementing those white and silver tones.
Leo Colours
Star sign dates: July 23 - August 22
Do you know someone who is the life of the party and will do anything to be in the spotlight? Perhaps they're a Leo! While Leos have a flair for the dramatics, they're loving, passionate and incredibly loyal people to be around.
Bold colours like gold and purple match the Leo personality perfectly and can create an entirely different atmosphere depending on how you use them in your space.
To create a striking, more luxurious feeling space, go with the gold for your paint colour, and add pops of purple into your decor. If you're after a more moody space, then purple is great for creating a cosy atmosphere. Gold could be incorporated through pillows, a throw blanket, or wall art.
Virgo Colours
Star sign dates: August 23 - September 22
Logical, practical and systematic, Virgos can be perfectionists and aren't afraid to work hard to improve their skills. Represented by the goddess of wheat and agriculture, Virgos tend to feel a deep connection to the earth.
Warm, earthy colours like tan and warm yellow are great for Virgos and for making your space feel light, bright, and spacious. To complement the space, try using either whites or beiges for your curtains.
Libra Colours
Star signs dates: September 23 - October 22
Libra is represented by scales, this signifies balance and harmony in their lives, and what they strive for. People who are born under this sign like to find symmetry, and to have an equilibrium of forces in their lives.
If you're a Libra, try making your space a pastel paradise with colours like ivory, pink, and light blue. These paint colours are great for making your space feel light and calming. Pair brighter coloured decor items in your space to make these colours pop even more.
Scorpio Colours
Star sign dates: October 23 - November 21
Do you like to live a mysterious and elusive life away from the prying eyes of others? Perhaps your star sign is Scorpio.
The best colours for Scorpios are red and black, a very striking colour combination, so if you're not sure how you can style your space, we've got you covered!
To incorporate red, a feature wall against neutral paint colours is a great way to go. If it's still too much you could opt for choosing a less saturated shade of red.
Black is a great colour to accent other features in your space, such as lamps, wall art, or rugs. It could also be used in your curtains or blinds as black is a very absorbent colour, perfect for keeping you cool in the summer months!
If you're creating a colour scheme for a kids' bedroom or play room, a black paint colour could be incorporated as a chalk board by using chalk board paint, creating a functional and creative space for little ones!
Sagittarius Colours
Star sign dates: November 22 - December 21
The Sagittarius sign is one of the fire elements, representing the passion within. These are people who long for spiritual adventures and are on a quest for knowledge.
Navy blue and maroon are perfect for Sagittarius. This colour combination will create a cool paint palette for your space. As these colours are challenging to pair together, pick the one that you feel more connected to and make it your primary paint colour, and use the second colour in your decorating.
Capricorn Colours
Star sign dates: December 22 - January 19
For Capricorns, time is their most valuable resource. These are people who are goal-oriented and are on a quest to climb to the top.
The best colours for Capricorns are brown and khaki. If you're wanting to create a soft, earthy palette, these colours are great for bringing the outside into your space. To create an even more comfortable living environment in and outdoors, our Windmaster Blinds are a great option to protect your outdoor space from the elements and reduce the heat in your home!
Aquarius Colours
Star sign dates: January 20 - February 19
Those born under the Aquarius sign are said to be selfless, innovative and progressive. These are people who tend to use their skills to make the world a better place.
Silver and blue are great options for paint colours as they create a calming and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for the Aquarius people out there. As they are very versatile colours, you're able to style them in many different ways.
Pisces Colours
Star sign dates: February 20 - March 20
Last but certainly not least, Pisces are said to be sensitive and intuitive. The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the division of attention Pisces face between their fantasy life and reality.
If you're a Pisces, lighten up your space with white and purple. You can't beat white as a paint colour, it's crisp, clean and has so many shades to choose from. On the other hand, if you'd like to create a more eye-catching or moody feeling space, purple is great to add that bit of excitement!
