Our monthly series asks: What decor best suits each zodiac sign? Hardworking Capricorns need a well-crafted home with smart details, writes Jill Krasny <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>London, England<\/a> | <\/span>United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Scorpios may <\/span>crave a home<\/span><\/a> that feels like a luxurious private retreat, while <\/span>free-spirited Sagittarians thrive<\/span><\/a> in open spaces that truly reflect who they are. The wise Capricorn is a different beast altogether, so as its zodiac season gets underway (December 22-January 20), it\u2019s time to ask: how do you design the perfect home for a Capricorn?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a gift for tenacity, determination, and focus, Capricorns work hard to achieve their goals, says <\/span>Anthony Perrotta<\/span><\/a>, an astrologer and interior designer based in Providence, Rhode Island. They may happily splurge on a spacious, high-rise <\/span>penthouse apartment in east London<\/span><\/a>, designed by award-winning New York architect Alexander Gorlin and tastefully furnished by French architectural firm Studio KO. The home\u2019s airy office, with its large windows and floor-to-ceiling shelving, provides a clear space for work and ample room for storage, of which this hardworking sign would approve.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Newport Beach, California<\/a> | <\/span>Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Capricorns\u2019 meticulous attention to detail makes them highly attuned to craftsmanship, so well-made finishes are a must for them. That said, it\u2019s more about quiet luxury than frivolous extravagance. The east London penthouse apartment\u2019s oak floors, mirrored walls, and marble bathrooms bear Gorlin\u2019s signature modernist eye. They also speak to Capricorn\u2019s love of carefully executed finishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>5,450-square-foot residence<\/span><\/a> in the Irvine Terrace neighborhood of Newport Beach, CA, similarly features great craftsmanship. Covetable features include marble kitchen countertops, European-style oak cabinetry, vein-cut Travertine stone on fireplaces and bath fixtures with brushed nickel and chrome finishes. The spacious walk-in closet also speaks to Capricorns\u2019 love of organization. <\/span>\u201cThis will fuel their need for order,\u201d says Perrotta. <\/span>Capricorns put thought into everything they do, and the way a home functions matters to them. They are efficient\u2014and like their home to be as well, says Perrotta.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Newport Beach, California<\/a> | <\/span>Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

As an Earth sign, Capricorn is naturally drawn to earthy or deep colors, which reflect \u201ctheir contemplative nature,\u201d says Perrotta. Chocolate browns, deep reds, spruce greens, navy, grey, cream, and black are ideal, as are natural materials like stone and wood. Rugs, throw pillows, and curtains soften things up. Bright colors are a turn-off, and anything too whimsical may overwhelm them. \u201c<\/span>I would also suggest that leaning too much in the traditional style can feel stifling,\u201d says Perrotta. Capricorns \u201cneed a bit more variety than that.\u201d
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a>London, England<\/a> | <\/span>United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

In some ways, Capricorns are minimalists at heart, so ultra-modern styles work well for them. \u201cA penthouse oozes Capricorn [energy], with their sense of height,\u201d says Perrotta. The London property, with sleek contemporary design, offers panoramic views across the city skyline, giving Capricorns the ability to see far into the horizon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
