Decorating our homes can be a fun process as we try to represent who we are through home decor. While we may have particular themes, patterns, or concepts we want to bring to life, colors play a big part in what we want to say. While it makes sense to lean towards colors you're fond of, have you ever thought to look into the power color of your zodiac sign?

Each zodiac sign has a myriad of items associated with them, including power colors. These hues don't necessarily have to be your favorite colors, but they do inspire and embody certain characteristics that highlight each sign's personality. There are plenty of ways to use these colors around your house, and you might be surprised at the results! Check out your zodiac sign below and see how you can incorporate your power color into your home.

    Aquarius signs are often full of ideas and a desire to learn more about the world around them. Your brain is always on the move, but you're at your best when you can relax and focus on what's most important to you. Blue is a naturally relaxing shade, so try to use it in places you go to unwind, whether that's your bedroom, a nook, or even the living room. You're always one to do things a little off-script, so find some blue books to stack on your table or hang some interesting artwork where blue is the main focus. Especially when you want to be creative, blue stirs up some interesting concepts for you while also keeping you calm and grounded.

    Pisces signs are dreamy and idealistic, so it makes sense that your color is a light green shade often compared to seafoam. The pale green hue is connected to the environment and holds strong associations with healing and renewal, both areas you excel in. You'll want to bring this color into any space used for relaxation, refreshment, or a place to get away from the world. Your bathroom is a favorable option as a place you likely start and end your day. Paint the walls for a more permanent fix, or add small touches like a shower curtain and bathroom rug if you need to change things up.

    Green is a direct representation of the natural world, growth, and stability, which fits the Taurus personality well! You're grounded and dedicated, but you also know when it's time to shed the old and invite in the new. Placing green in areas that need some down-to-earth energy or needs some comfort. Fresh plants are a beautiful and creative way to bring in the color. Still, you can also lean towards soft items like curtains, pillows, or blankets to evoke the same feeling.

    The color yellow is associated with optimism, excitement, friendship, and intellect; what better way to describe a Gemini? Yellow is a bright shade that quite literally lights up any room. While it may not be a color you'd paint your whole house with, using it in small doses can make a giant impact. Incorporate yellow into the areas of your home that need a boost or that you go to when you need some cheering up. Given your desire to change things up, you would work best with bringing in yellow accessories that can easily switch out when needed, such as glassware, rugs, or wall art.

    The color silver stirs up connotations of reflection, unconditional love, and tenderness, much like Cancer signs do in their everyday lives. Dreamy Cancer is ruled by the moon and is always ready to open up and look inside and embrace who they are. It would be best to introduce silver into spaces you want to share with the important people in your life or places you want to add some elegance. While silver accents are an easy staple to work in subtly, you can also be a bit bolder with chrome-plated tables and frames. A large, ornate, silver mirror would also be a perfect addition!

    Leos are known to be vibrant, energetic, and command attention, so naturally, your power color would do the same. Orange is well known to represent warmth, passion, and creativity, so you would best incorporate this color in a place where you expect plenty of activity or guests. Using an orange statement piece, such as a designer chair or a kitchen island, would draw attention to the color and make it the focal point. Looking for a bolder choice? Paint the front door a gorgeous tangerine shade so that guests feel excited and welcome from the moment they arrive. It's a risky color, but who better to pull it off than a trendsetter like yourself?

You can also be more forward by coloring a whole section with the shade, such as all pink cabinets in the kitchen.

Regardless of which concept you're attempting to radiate, black is an easier option to work with than some think. If you want to stay simple, black and white photographs in black frames, create a sophisticated and cohesive focal point.

    Gray is a color mostly viewed as conservative, neutral, and strong, so it makes sense why it would be the power color of Capricorn! Gray strikes a balance between the light, airy feeling of white and the darker, more reserved color or black. As a Capricorn, you often struggle with burning the candle at both ends, so implement gray wherever you go to rest, such as your bedroom or an office. While mixing gray with other colors will allow you to customize your environment, utilizing a gray desk or bed frame is a great base you can do so much with later on!
