Love or hate astrology, you can’t deny that star signs are a big part of our lives. Studies show that people often turn to astrology in response to stress and anxiety, as well as helping to aim for future goals. We are excited to share with you, Astrology Aesthetic: Interior Design Styles For Each Star Sign.
Whilst colours and plants enhance the overall appearance of a space, and boost oxygen, why not use astrology to influence your home and garden this spring?
From pastels and water lilies to fiery reds and poppies, new research carried out by rental brand Essential Living and colour expert Momtaz Begum-Hossain shows which plants and colours palettes you should go for this spring based on your star sign.
Aries – March 21st- April 19th
Your Colours: Fiery reds and bright oranges
Your Plant: Poppy
If you’re an Aries, you’re motivated and driven by anything that can be turned into a competition. To coordinate your space with your optimistic personality, incorporate fiery reds and bright oranges into your home- guaranteed to put that spring in your step.
If you are wanting to give your home an interior refresh for spring, bright colours are the way to do it. Momtaz says, “High-energy colours like orange and yellow are visually stimulating and uplifting, and their vivid tones are energising, making you feel awake.”
The best way to incorporate these bright colours into your home is through accessories. Whilst experts recommend your wall colours to remain neutral- revealed as the biggest trend for 2021– lampshades, cushions and throws in these bold colours will transform your home beautifully for spring.
Bold colours however are not recommended in the bedroom, as their energetic aesthetic can be over-stimulating when you’re trying to unwind. Momtaz says, “Within the orange spectrum, the best shade for a bedroom would be a soft apricot. It’s warm enough to be uplifting and welcoming, yet light enough not to distract.”
The perfect plant for an Aries is the poppy, one of the luckiest flowers for Arians which is vivacious, energetic, beautiful, and bees simply cannot resist being attracted to it, encouraging wildlife into our gardens. Poppies thrive in alkaline, acid, or neutral soil, so for the best results, grow in well-drained soil in full sun.
