The Color You Should Paint Your Living Room, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

You want to change up your living room, but you keep staring at the walls while holding piles of paint samples.

It’s not just you! This is probably the room where you spend the most time (while you’re awake, at least), so it’s an important choice.

It can be tempting to choose a color based on what’s popular on Instagram, but in the long run, you’ll be happier with a shade that speaks to you on a personal level.

So, we asked Best Life’s resident astrologer what color she thought each zodiac sign’s living room should be. Keep scrolling to find out if gray or lavender walls would be better for you.

Aries: Maroon

Aries is spontaneous and likes to have fun, and they like to take risks. When people doubt your skills, you see it as a challenge to show them that they are wrong.

You are good at these things because you have a lot of energy and can stay focused for a long time.

Moss Green is Taurus

But when it’s time to relax and recharge, the color red makes you feel the most at home. It’s not only a sign of your fiery and passionate personality, but it’s also your power color, which means it makes you feel calm and centered.

And while any shade of red will work, a dark maroon is making a comeback in design, making it the perfect choice for a trendsetter like you.

Taureans are very picky about their style and taste because Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is their ruler. You’d rather not go with the flow and stick with what you know works for you.

As an earth sign, you feel close to nature and want to bring that feeling inside. Choose moss-green walls for your living room to make it feel like a moody moonlit forest.

Green stands for plenty, luck, and success, which fits with the indulgent nature of Taurus. It’s also your power color, so it will help you feel calm and in control.

Yellow for Gemini

Geminis are social, spontaneous, and full of energy. You are always pushing yourself to try new things and see more of the world, while other people are stuck in their ways.

You aren’t afraid to change your mind (or change it again! ), and little things don’t bother you.

Your perfect room color should match how sunny and happy you are, which is why you should grab a can of warm yellow paint.

This bright color might seem too much, but you’re the kind of person who can take a risk and make it work.

Blush Pink: Cancer

For you, Cancer, there’s no place like home. You spend most of your time taking care of the emotional needs of other people, so you need time alone more than anyone else. And you’d rather just chill out on the couch.

You really don’t care about design trends; your main goal is to make your space look cozy and calm. We suggest painting your living room a soft pink color to give it a self-love vibe.

This romantic and dreamy color will speak to your sensitive soul and remind you that it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes.

Leo: Violet

Leos are known for having big hearts and a lot of positive energy that other people want to catch. People listen to everything you say because of how you carry yourself and get their attention.

You do your own thing and don’t care who sees (in fact, the more people who watch, the better).

You could look great in any color, but a bright purple shows your royal side. If you were born under the sign of the lion, you probably think of your home as your kingdom.

This deep jewel tone will spice up your style and make a serious statement.

Beige. Virgo.

Virgos aren’t known for being flashy, and you prefer to stay out of the way. You are careful and practical, and you have great self-control.

You like to make decisions based on careful thought, not on impulse. And when it comes to design, you care less about style and more about getting the most for your money.

Even though beige walls might seem boring, this color is very versatile and will never go out of style. This means you can change your furniture and decorations as often as you want.

After all, you already know how to work smarter, not harder.

Gold for Libra

Libra is known as the fair and balanced mediator of the zodiac, but as the sign ruled by beautiful Venus, it’s just as important for you to always look your best, and that includes your home.

Some people might think pink would be the best color to paint your living room, but we think warm gold would be a better choice.

It goes well with how beautiful, charming, elegant, and sophisticated you are. And it will help you remember that putting money into yourself will pay off big time.

Scorpio is Black

You have a lot of drive, Scorpio. Even though you seem calm on the outside, you are often very moved by your feelings. It can sometimes feel like no one really gets you.

Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, which are the two most powerful planets in astrology.

Instead of trying to hide your mysterious and dark side, embrace it and paint your walls a commanding black.

It’s bold, just like you, but it’s also blank, so you can add your own touches (and, dare we say, colorful accents) to it.

Orange: Sagittarius

People with this sign don’t usually stay in one place for very long. People think that your only goal is to travel the world, but if you really like a place or a person, you won’t hesitate to put down roots.

And when you do, it’s important to feel like you can fully show who you are.

Sagittarius energy can be high-energy and intense, so you’re not afraid to make crazy design choices like an orange living room.

The color stands for optimism and determination, which are important feelings to have as you start a new part of your life.

Capricorn: Gray Charcoal

You are a disciplined person with a strong work ethic and a critical mind. This gives you the ability to see the bigger picture of any choice you have to make.

This makes you a natural leader, but it also makes you more careful about what you do. But that’s okay with you. You don’t let other people’s criticisms or opinions change the way you live your life.

So, since you like traditional things, the best paint color for you is a classic charcoal gray that goes with any design style or aesthetic. Not only that, but this serious color will help get you in the mood to do some work.

Lavender is for Aquarius

Your view of the world is different from everyone else’s, and people admire your ability to think outside the box. But you have a very sensitive side that not many people get to see.

You feel the weight of injustice more than anyone else (even if you don’t show it), because you are the zodiac’s water bearer and its humanitarian.

It’s important that your home is a place where you can relax and recharge after a long day of fighting for the underdog. Lavender is a calm color that will make you feel like you’re in a zen state.

Teal: Pisces

Pisces are sweet and emotional, so how you dress and decorate your home are important ways for you to show who you are.

You trust your gut more than popular opinion or common sense, so it doesn’t bother you if the paint color you choose “goes out of style” in a few years.

Your creative side is happy to take on a new home improvement project. The most important thing for you is to make the space feel like its own world.

Teal is a calm color that makes people feel at ease and in tune with themselves. When you see this color, it will be easier than ever to drift off into a daydream.
