This year Homebase has put together the ultimate guide to Christmas decoration – according to your star sign!
Aries
For no-nonsense Aries, a red gold and green Chrismas colour scheme is non-negotiable.
They’re ruled by Mars, the planet of action and war, and for an Aries getting the decorations up is a well-run military operation.
Link all fire signs they are drawn to shades of red, and the colour will play a key role in their home come Christmastime, but this ram with the golden fleece will also be sure to incorporate their power colour gold with baubles, bells and glittering tinsel.
Taurus
Taurus, the ruler of the hearth, knows that Christmas is for spending time at home with family and that Christmas decorating should please everyone whatever their age.
Perhaps the only thing Taurus loves as much as family is food, so food-themed decorations have a special appeal to this earth sign.
Wreaths and garlands adorned with berries and orange slices, and baubles shaped like Christmas puddings and other beloved festive treats are perfect.
Gemini
Forever changing their minds, a Gemini is, is unlikely to ever stick to one colour scheme. The zodiac’s twins prefer to pick their favourite parts of several and combine them in a cheerful combination, which really shouldn’t work but somehow does.
Ruled by the communication planet Mercury, decorations that incorporate letters and words are perfect for a Gemini, they also love patterns the more vibrant and clashing the better.
For the easily bored Gemini, a combination of different textures will add interest to a festive home.
