Our monthly series asks: What decor best suits each zodiac sign? Visionary Aquarians need a room with a view\u2014and a dose of eclecticism, writes Jill Krasny <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Elounda, Crete<\/a> | <\/span>Greece Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Every sign of the zodiac is said to have its own character. So what kind of homes match up with people based on astrology? Wise <\/span>Capricorn\u2019s eye for detail<\/span><\/a> serves them well when house hunting, and <\/span>Sagittarians prize spaces<\/span><\/a> that feel expansive and unique. Aquarians are known for their independent streak, so as their new zodiac season gets underway (January 21-February 18), it\u2019s time to ask: How do you design the perfect home for an Aquarian?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an air sign, Aquarians naturally gravitate to light-filled rooms where their minds can wander, says <\/span>Anthony Perrotta<\/span><\/a>, an astrologer and interior designer based in Providence, Rhode Island. Retractable doors that maximize indoor\/outdoor living have great appeal, and Aquarians may happily spring for a <\/span>bright and airy five-bedroom house<\/span><\/a> in the tony Bosques de Santa Fe neighborhood in Mexico City. Here, every room seems to flow elegantly into another\u2014and the home brings nature inside with a tree rising through the stairwell. Large windows let in natural light and offer sumptuous views outside. The sunny terrace, which overlooks the clipped yard, leads to a private park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mexico City, Mexico<\/a> | <\/span>Mexico Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Homes that feel stuffy in every sense of the word turn off Aquarians. They\u2019re a cutting-edge sign, says Perrotta, so somewhere traditional with time-capsule features like galley kitchens, window muntins, and dark corridors will make them feel cloistered. Designs that feel more of-the-moment, with open floor plans, rich materials, smart home technology, and ample gathering space, are more their speed. The picture-perfect <\/span>Hesperus estate<\/span><\/a>, on the northern coast of the island of Crete, sets the stage for get-togethers for this sociable sign. A wraparound terrace leads to a private beach, while a former artist\u2019s workshop in the garden is now a magical sanctuary for overnight guests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquarians have a knack for blending old and new designs in inventive ways. As visionaries, eclecticism is often their thing, says Perrotta, and they\u2019re not shy about breaking the rules. A sprawling <\/span>adobe compound in Scottsdale, Arizona<\/span><\/a>, melds southwestern style\u2014dark wood beams, terracotta tiles, and a kiva fireplace\u2014with contemporary gestures like pendant lighting, minimalist ivory walls and sleek material finishes. \u201cYou can\u2019t expect [Aquarians\u2019] design tastes to stay in a box,\u201d says Perrotta, and this home defies conventional style silos. The glass on the wood-framed front door riffs on Frank Lloyd Wright\u2019s Taliesin, a home-studio in Wisconsin that exemplifies the Prairie School style of architecture. Meanwhile, the kitchen\u2019s colorful LED lighting shifts playfully according to the owner\u2019s mood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Scottsdale, Arizona<\/a> | <\/span>Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Aquarians want a home that stands out, so they\u2019re drawn to offbeat jewel tones or \u201cdeep space colors\u201d like indigos, violets and emeralds, says Perrotta. Lighter shades may also attract them, as would cool metals, given their penchant for cutting-edge tech. \u201cThey aren\u2019t afraid of color or going out on a limb either,\u201d he says. In terms of furniture, anything oversized, traditional or clunky won\u2019t be for them, so \u201cleave the La-Z-Boy at home,\u201d says Perrotta. Low-slung sofas and loungers are worthwhile investments, as they help them stay literally grounded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u201cIf I were to take Aquarius away from the ultra-modern or futuristic elements, I would put them in a home that feels quirky and vintage,\u201d says Perrotta. \u201cAlmost like a movie set from the 1970s with \u2018modern for the times\u2019 accents.\u201d A <\/span>London home<\/span><\/a> on a quiet, tree-lined street in St. John\u2019s Wood is defined by a retro-meets-contemporary vibe. Standout features include distinctive wood paneling and palm-tree-shaped lights in gathering spaces such as the bar, a pool lounge, and carpeted sunroom. As Perrotta puts it, \u201cthere is a kitschy, playful vibe that [Aquarians] can\u2019t deny.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
