 It’s still Virgo season (until September 22nd!), and if you’ve ever wanted personalized zodiac-based design advice, we’re here with all of the info you’ll need to create a space as tailored as your daily horoscope.

 Born between August 23rd-September 22nd, the Virgo is highly analytical, practical, and thrives on perfectionism and cleanliness. In other words, a Virgo is not going to be a maximalist or love a bohemian feel in their space. For the Virgo, function and form are equally important. That translates into sleek, minimalist interiors, with thoughtful design details.

Organization Station

The perfect room might include amazing storage solutions, like these gorgeous shelves. Any Virgo worth their salt would certainly fill them with a color coded book collection, reflecting their perfectionist, intellectually curious personality. Use simple, yet beautiful accessories, like these bookends, to keep things in neatly order.

Simplicity is Key

In terms of staple furniture pieces, the practical Virgo loves simple, clean silhouettes. The key is to choose upholstery with durability in mind: leather, polyester blends, and canvas make perfect options. Importantly, Virgos are warm and welcoming, so choosing furniture in rich colors and soft textures makes perfect sense.

Timeless, Not Trendy

Wile a Virgo might be a devoted follower of organizational guru Marie Kondo, they’re not going to fall victim to fast-fashion fads. So classic pieces, especially timeless silhouettes, appeal to their practical sides. Think warmly stained wood, sturdy shaker style cabinetry, and beautifully simple craftsman classics.

If you’re not a Virgo, don’t worry: you can still channel their simple style in your own home by shopping our Virgo-inspired board. And don’t worry, our crystal ball predicts many more zodiac-influenced design tips for the future.
