As zodiac-obsessed as we are, chances are you've been reading up on all that 2019 has in store for your work, love, and personal lives. But what about for your home's decor? For those itching to make a change to your space, our guide to the year's top trends will help you pick one that's perfectly suited to your star sign.
Capricorn: Throwback Furniture: Capricorn has a reputation as a workaholic, so they need decor with a laid-back vibe that reminds them to take a break. We're prescribing a dose of west coast ’70s cool for maximum relaxing.

Leo: Statement Lighting: Leos are known for being the center of attention, so it stands to reason that they can't resist a good statement piece. Luckily, scene-stealing chandeliers and other unexpected light fixtures are trending right now, and that suits Leos just fine.

Libra: White On White: Elegant and understated, but still with plenty of interest, the white-on-white look is a natural fit for Libra's love of peaceful vibes.

Pisces: Patterned Wallpaper: Dreamy, artistic Pisces loves the dramatic things in life, especially a bold wallpaper. Painterly, oceanic patterns like this will appeal to fishes, in more ways than one.
Brit + Co Pick: Flat Vernacular Balance Marine Wallpaper ($275/roll)

Cancer: Cozy Textures: If there's one sign that has committed to the hygge craze, it's Cancer. Cancer's notoriously sensitive, maternal nature feels best feathering the nest in soft and comforting elements that make guests feel instantly at ease.

Sagittarius: Global Details: Sag is all about the life well-lived, which, in their case, means well-traveled. Whether picked up on a recent exotic adventure or sourced them from the local imports store, eclectic textiles from far-flung locales are sure to make this sign feel at home.

Scorpio: Dark, Dramatic Walls: Known for being one of the most intense signs of the zodiac, Scorpio doesn't do anything halfway, and that includes color. The uptick in dark, dramatic wall colors is a boon for this sign's particular tastes.

Taurus: Natural Materials: Taurus likes to feel connected to the earth, so it's no surprise that the trend toward earthy, eco-friendly materials is a good match for this sign. Plants, rustic live-edge furniture, and organic woven pieces are sure to find their way into the space one way or another.

Virgo: Textured Walls: Virgo's perfectionist streak requires some shaking up every now and then. We'd love to see them embrace the wabi-sabi approach that's been so buzzy lately by trying a lime-wash technique on walls. Sometimes a little imperfection is just what this sign needs.
Brit + Co Pick: Toscana Limewash Paint ($50/gallon) (Image via Portola Paints/Dabito)

Aries: Pattern Mixing: Perhaps the most likely to try a controversial new style, Aries is used to being a tastemaker. Loud patterns are for those who always want to be the first on their block with the newest look. After all, when something strikes Aries' fancy, they can't resist getting a little carried away.

Gemini: Maximalism: Geminis are often pulled in multiple directions — no surprise there. The only way to satisfy all their impulses? Pile it on. More is definitely more, so add in all the patterns and make those walls into showpieces.

Aquarius: Sculptural Furniture: The rebel of the zodiac, Aquarius prefers to go her own way and has a *bit* of a problem with authority. The water bearer will no doubt be drawn to unconventional forms in furniture. Who says a chair has to look like a chair?
