The fact that we all gravitate towards different interior design styles is what makes life — and design — so interesting. Whether our personal tastes are to do with our past experiences, unique personalities or something even more inherent, it’s fascinating to think about the reasons we like what we like.

For those who may have wondered whether the stars have anything to do with their interior design tastes, or are simply curious about what design style is the most similar to their star sign, we have the answers.
