While a dorm can be a fun escape from living with your parents, the stuffy cinderblock walls and high lofted beds can quickly get old and have you dreaming of the perfect home once you get that coveted diploma.
If you thought selecting a residence hall was hard, it only gets harder. When choosing a home, the options are literally endless, unlike the list of a dozen halls to select from that your university provided you with.
Luckily, if you’re as indecisive as me, you can turn to your zodiac sign for a little inspiration. A recent study analyzed home decor trends based on astrological identity, so you can let your sign make all the decorating decisions for you.
Overwhelmingly, Modern Design Is The Winner
For ten out of the twelve zodiac signs, modern was the preferred interior design style. In the age of Pinterest and HGTV, it should come as no surprise that people want to keep up with the trends. That means white furniture and walls, clean lines and edgy lighting and decor are the most popular sellers across the board.
Cancers Prefer a Vintage Look
Being a sign that’s a lover of the arts, Cancers have a unique taste in interior design. Cancers are also known for being emotional, sensitive, and easily attached. They aren’t as willing to pass up on what they know and love, even when it comes to interior design. Cancers love to stick to their roots with vintage decor, so send them all your treasures and antiques.
Scorpios Favor the Rustic Trend
Scorpios are known as being determined and decisive, so they likely don’t need any help when it comes to making interior design decisions. They are brave and the leaders of the pack, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t be afraid to break out of the basic trend of modern decor. They’re more likely to turn to the natural look for their furniture and decorations.
Aquarius Signs Are City People
Escaping the dorm life is not at the forefront of an Aquarius’s goals, as their dream home would be a city apartment. This sign is considered eccentric, energetic, and loves to be around people – all of which makes the perfect candidate for living in a city, even if it means the smaller living quarters.
Taurus and Sagittarius People Would Live in a Cabin in the Woods
One thing Taurus and Sagittarius signs have in common is their willingness to travel and adventure out into the world. This is reflected in the fact that their dream home would be a log cabin in the woods. This nontraditional living situation is perfect for anyone hoping to completely immerse themselves in nature.
When you live in the equivalent of a shoebox, there’s not a ton of room for you to express your inner interior designer. However, when you escape your college years, you’ll have so much space to live in that you won’t know what to do with yourself.
At the end of the day, you only get about four years of living on the same hall as all of your best friends. So take advantage of your dorm life and minimal responsibilities while you can, and before you know it you’ll be deciding how to decorate your perfect dream home.
