The ultimate guide to decorating your home like a Pisces

Pisces is the 12th and final sign in the zodiac and is one of the most sympathetic of all the signs. Pisces are natural dreamers and can come off a bit scattered, but it’s only because they have their heads in the clouds thinking about ways to make everyone around them happy. When thinking about Pisces room decor or decorating in general, there are a few things to keep in mind to keep these born romantics in check and grounded.

When it comes to Pisces home decor, it’s anything goes, so finding a color palette, aesthetic, and design is important; otherwise, their home could become overwhelming and feel disconnected. Of course, that doesn’t mean it should be boring or look like any other home. Because they are natural dreamers and nonconformists, they need a calm, serene place to land at the end of the day but also get excited about things that inspire them.

Pisces home design should focus on entertaining spaces

Pisces adore gatherings of family and friends — the more the merrier. Because of this, special consideration should be given to entertaining spaces, so there is plenty of room to accommodate guests. This could mean a large dining room table with storage to keep glasses and dishes at hand. Ideally, an open floor plan will be in place so the kitchen and living room are connected and people can roam freely throughout and still be close enough for meaningful conversations.

Pisces bedrooms should be cozy and inspire wanderlust

Because a Pisces is often daydreaming about a new career or travel, having a calm place to lay your head at night and recharge is important. Pisces are a water sign and are drawn to colors like blue, sage green, and white. Consider those choices in wall paint or wallpaper, bedding, and even the color furniture you pick. In terms of wall decor, adding pictures of places you’ve traveled with friends, items you’ve picked up along the way, and bookshelves filled with books of places yet to be visited would be perfect in a Pisces bedroom. Don’t forget to add some candles and a faux fur blanket to wind down at the end of the day.

Embrace the eclectic

Don’t shy away from your inner daydreamer. Instead, lean into it with bold colors that can come from a wallpapered wall, a living room area rug, or art hung in different rooms of the home. A Pisces home is a standout and you won’t find items in them you’d see in everyone else’s homes. Embrace shopping at secondhand online stores, scour antique stores, and find items unique to your personality and highlight them in your home. Mix and match elements from modern, boho, and farmhouse designers that speak to you — not everything has to (or should) match.

Get inspiration from nature

Embrace your inner water sign and find pieces that bring the outdoors inside. This could come from wicker baskets for housing cozy lap blankets, natural fabrics like linen curtains, and wicker headboards, and don’t forget about your bathroom. If you have a bathtub, make it the star of the show. Not only will it help you relax, but it will also reenergize you for the next day. Find unique wallpaper that pays homage to nature, like this banana leaf wallpaper for a bathroom or home office.

As much as a Pisces loves to entertain, don’t forget about spaces in your home that are all for you. If you’re going to invest in redecorating, spend time and energy on your bedroom, bathroom, and home office. These are the places you want to bring you inspiration but also calmness so you can get the rest you need to take on all the challenges (and inevitably new ideas) of the days that follow.

Pisces are creative and artistic, so lean into that in how you design your home:

  • Go big on a piece of art from a local gallery.
  • Buy an area rug that makes you smile whenever you enter a room.
  • Fill an entire wall with bookshelves stocked with your favorite authors.

Create spaces that are calming to you but not boring. You have a lot of good ideas (and a fair amount of off-the-wall ones), so finding creativity inside your home is important to you.

It can feel overwhelming for a Pisces to take on a whole home remodel, so take it step by step with one room at a time. Before you know it, you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for when it comes to color, texture, and materials, and your home will truly transform.

Chic home bar ideas that’ll make you want to throw a party
Enhance your entertaining space by giving your home bar a facelift
Black and white modern at-home bar

Throwing a great party requires a couple of components. Good food, good company, and good drinks are all essentials. A central place to craft and consume those drinks can create an ambiance for the whole party. Creating fun and functional home bars -- or creative mini bars for apartments -- do not have to be such massive projects that only professionals can take on. We have some great DIY ideas for you to create a home bar that you and your guests will love.
Add a vintage touch

Home bars offer the perfect opportunity to uplift your space with a classy vintage touch. Here are a few ideas you can try.
Turn a bookcase into a bar
If you have an old bookcase or set of standalone shelves that are just taking up space and storing clutter, turn it into a bar. The shelves on most bookcases are tall enough to hold most liquor bottles, and the amount of storage space in a bookcase makes it a great place to store all the supplies you’ll need for a fully stocked bar. Store bottles of wine, glasses, mixers, and more on the shelves, and things like bottle openers, corkscrews, knives for cutting fruit, and more in the drawers.
Vintage TV bar
If you have an old box-style TV that you just can’t let go of, turn it into a bar. You can also pick one up for super cheap at a thrift store or secondhand shop. Use the top of the TV to mix drinks and cut fruit for garnishes and use the inside of the TV (where the tube used to be) as storage for your bottles. This idea is great for a basement bar or game-room bar.
Suitcase bar
If you’re not the best do-it-yourselfer, you can still create a fun bar out of vintage items. An old suitcase makes a great place to set up bottles and glasses for a party. Adding a mirror to the inside of the top of the suitcase completes the bar look and feel of the luggage. Put the suitcase on a countertop, and you have an instant bar and conversation piece.
Growler lamp
Once you’ve finished a growler of beer, you can easily turn it into a fun lamp using string lights. This look can also be achieved with old jugs of wine or large liquor bottles. String lights are inexpensive and will easily fit into the vessel of your choice.
