Which Bollywood star’s home would be perfect for your zodiac sign?

Aries

One of the most active signs in the zodiac, Aries enjoys bold colours and spaces that give off an energetic vibe. Expect to see lots of reds and pinks in this sign’s home instead of muted hues. Aries individuals tend to use inspirational quotes or trophies from the past to decorate their space and often, their home includes a space where they can take a break from their fast-paced lives for some down time.

Bollywood home inspiration: If you’re looking to give your home a makeover, take cues from Anshula and Arjun Kapoor’s Mumbai apartment. The siblings’ spacious home is full of young, playful decor accents. Wouldn’t you love owning an uplifting art piece like the one that takes centre stage in their living room?

Taurus

Ruled by Venus, Taurus is a lover of all things beautiful. This zodiac sign thoroughly enjoys home decorating and loves to entertain, so one can expect their residence to include a large kitchen and an even larger entertainment space. The nature-loving Taurean’s home will always feature fresh flowers, and is bound to be full of plush elements that please the senses. Think handwoven rugs, scented candles and couches that one can sink into.

Bollywood home inspiration: If there’s one Bollywood home that will make you smile, it’s got to be Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar’s Juhu abode. Decorated by Khanna herself, the couple’s home is full of picture-perfect corners, but still manages to look lived in. How does she strike the perfect balance? “Clutter isn’t a bad thing. But you must organise your clutter so it looks neat,” she says.

Gemini

How many aesthetics can one home fit into it? Ask Gemini and they may just respond with a confident “all of them”. It’s hard for Gemini individuals to commit to one specific look, but this zodiac sign manages to somehow make opposing elements work together in harmony, quite like their dual personalities. Expect brightly-coloured decor pieces to shout out from monochrome rooms or clashing wallpapers to come together in the coolest of combos.

Bollywood home inspiration: You hate getting stuck in a decor rut, Gemini, so take cues from Ananya Panday’s eclectic Bandra home. Though the star’s living room features a busy patterned floor, the furniture in her home can easily be shifted around to create new, equally exciting looks. Add an electric blue table to your space when you’re in the mood, and switch it for carved photo frames the next season. Make sure to let lots of light into your home to match your positive energy.

Cancer

The emotional, sensitive Cancerian’s home is more often than not, a sanctuary. Full of sentimental trinkets and cosy corners, this is a space one never wants to leave once they step inside. A homebody through and through, Cancer individuals are those who love filling their space with family photos and hard-to-find treasures. Few can host a dinner party as good as this zodiac sign, so a large dining table is often a staple in their homes.

Bollywood home inspiration: A painting from Salman Khan on one shelf, a framed childhood picture on another, and a pageant crown on the next… Jacqueline Fernandez’s breezy, all-white apartment is full of prized possessions she’s collected over the years. Take a leaf out of her book and give your most-loved things a prime spot in your space, and if you’re a romantic at heart as most Cancerians are, channel her home’s “Parisian shabby chic” vibe with pastel colours and pretty accents.

Leo

Leo individuals have always had a regal air about them, and that quality often transcends into their living space. This zodiac sign isn’t afraid to go all-out with their home decor. Whether their space is big or small, the Leo individual is likely to favour deep, rich colours like royal blue, emerald green and ruby red, and is a collector of decadent decor pieces. But don’t go thinking Leo’s home isn’t a place where you can relax. The lion’s living space is the perfect balance of opulent and cosy.

Bollywood home inspiration: You’re a maximalist, Leo, so why not let Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan’s homes Jalsa and Pratiksha serve as inspiration for your space? Scroll through our album and you’ll notice the Bachchan’s palatial residence is full of fine art works, Tanjore paintings and silverware that exude an old-world charm. Add a few tasteful touches of animal print to the mix, and you’ve got a space as unique as your personality.

Virgo

As perfectionists, Virgos are constantly in the middle of a makeover when it comes to their homes. There isn’t a detail that this zodiac sign doesn’t pay attention to, and a Virgo home is often very well-thought out. Given that cleanliness is of the utmost importance to this sign, it comes as no surprise that Virgos often prefer sleek lines, minimal decor and fuss-free surfaces in their space. Soothing, neutral hues are a winning choice for their residences, and one of the only places you may find traces of clutter is their kitchen. Why? Many Virgos are exceptionally skilled cooks!

Bollywood home inspiration: He may be Pisces IRL, but Shahid Kapoor’s Zen-like home is every Virgo’s dream come true. Full of black, white and grey interiors, this residence is bound to make it to your Pinterest board, especially for its scenic, sea-facing lawn, where Kapoor often spends quality time with his kids and wife Mira Rajput Kapoor. To keep your own home from falling flat, follow in Kapoor’s footsteps and add a vibrant painting or statement-making mirrors to your space. A little colour goes a long way!

Libra

The most artistic of all zodiac signs, Libra has a keen eye for beauty. This is a zodiac sign who wants the best of the best for its home, but balance is key when putting a space together. A Libra individual may fill their bedroom with frills and intricate mirrors at first, but dust-collecting objects won’t last long in this cleanliness-obsessed sign’s home. For all their attempts at organisation, Librans can end up attracting lots of clutter, so sleek, fuss-free furniture is often the best choice for them.

Bollywood home inspiration: Nestled in the heart of New York’s bustling neighbourhood of Manhattan, Priyanka Chopra’s apartment is full of ideas for the Libran home maker. Go for all-white, modern interiors like the star to give your apartment a contemporary vibe, but pile on the marshmallow-soft pillows in your bedroom to add some warmth. No one does balance like you. Since few appreciate beauty as much as your sign, a home with a sweeping view like Chopra’s won’t hurt!

Scorpio

There’s something undeniably attractive about Scorpio individuals. But once they enter their homes after a long day of being surrounded by people, many love their privacy. A Scorpio’s residence is often dark and cosy, without being dingy, and lets them cut off from the world and re-centre themselves. This sign doesn’t need to splurge on interiors. When it comes to home shopping, Scorpio has a knack for finding beautiful decor pieces at steal prices, and can brighten up any space by way of striking colours and interesting wall textures.

Bollywood home inspiration: Whether you’re a Scorpio who loves to read, paint or listen to music, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s home interiors will strike a chord with you. Full of dark wood, framed memories and musical instruments, this Bollywood couple’s home is a cosy little universe in the middle of Mumbai’s busy streets. Opt for thick curtains like the Khans to shut the world out when you need to, and keep your favourite records at hand to fill your haven with soothing music.

Sagittarius

A nomad by nature, Sagittarius is always full of amazing travel stories, and has souvenirs to match. Always ready for an adventure, this zodiac sign’s aesthetic is the complete opposite of Scorpio’s; think large, open spaces, cheery colours and contrasting artefacts collected from all over the globe. This sign’s love for entertaining, coupled with that signature clumsy streak, makes Sagittarius the perfect candidate for easy-to-clean furniture.

Bollywood home inspiration: How do you bring the outside into your home? Just ask Hrithik Roshan. Full of floor-to-ceiling windows and fresh plants, this star’s apartment even includes a green area that faces the sea. Roshan’s home is kid-friendly, which works great for you, Sagittarius, and its fresh, vibrant interiors reflect your sign’s positive mindset. This Capricorn couldn’t sound more Sagittarius when he said, “I love it when people mess the place up. A home tied up in rules is not really a home. A home is about people feeling like they can be themselves, relax, kick off their shoes.”

Capricorn

Traditional yet practical, Capricorn individuals are drawn towards stately furniture, but not at the cost of their comfort. Since so many under this zodiac sign are workaholics, Capricorns almost always have an office or study in their residences, which are likely to house dark, sturdy furniture with an old-world charm. Not big on experimenting, Capricorns tend to rely on known brands when shopping for their home, and you can expect to see lots of antiques and fine china in their residence. What sets Capricorn’s aesthetic apart from the others’ is the way they add warmth what could easily become a stuffy space. Personal elements like family photographs and awards do the trick.

Bollywood home inspiration: Located in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala area, Janhvi Kapoor’s sprawling home was made for Capricorns. Decorated with intense paintings by the late Sridevi, the Kapoor home boasts earthy leather couches, dark wood accents and even a majestic, glossy black piano-all things that are bound to appeal to the ‘father sign’ of the zodiac. Step #1 to recreating a space like Janhvi Kapoor’s is to focus on an earthy colour palette. There’s no going wrong with mahoganies, beiges and caramels.

Aquarius

Air sign Aquarius loves soothing, aqua hues, and people who fall under this sign are fiercely independent, which makes them partial to spaces that don’t make them feel boxed in. Solitude and peace of mind are very important to Aquarians, and their homes often include soothing waterfalls, lots of natural light, and interesting materials like hand-blown glass and rare marbles.

Bollywood home inspiration: While few have seen the interiors of Mannat, pictures of Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan’s Alibaug home have been spotted on the internet time and again. All white interiors, airy rooms and warm lighting, this holiday residence is ideal for Aquarius individuals. The next time you’re doing up a part of your home, skip on browns and beiges for ivories like the Khans, and add some violets and indigos to the mix to reflect your personality.

Pisces

As a water sign, Pisces has a soft spot for cooling hues, but it’s not easy to box this zodiac sign’s aesthetic into just one category. Dreamy and creative, Pisces individuals have been known to create a different vibe in every room of their home. If the living room is all about sleek lines and modern materials, the bedroom may be full of romantic, boudoir-style furniture. Since this sign rules photography, it’s likely that Pisceans may showcase some beautiful snapshots in their residence too. No matter what look they go with, they manage to create special corners throughout their homes.

Bollywood home inspiration: Doing up your home? Fellow Pisces Alia Bhatt’s new residence is the one for you to check out before you get started. Bhatt lives with sister Shaheen in Juhu, and their loft-style apartment is breezy without seeming cold, and brings together quirky (not cheesy) accents that reveal a lot about their personalities. Don’t miss the cat-related decor pieces scattered around Bhatt’s home, or the interesting art work that sits above her bed: a charcoal sketch made over pages of half-opened books.
