Inspiring Interiors: the home of Sarah Blakely

Today, I could not be more inspired by a home. Sarah Blakely, the fab entrepreneuress behind Spanx has such style and I had no idea. We all know my affections for black and white and the way this home has been styled out is just so on point. I have no idea where to begin here, so lets just start with the office, my personal favorite...black. This desk is everything and definitely something I am wanting to work on after seeing it like this.

More black for the win. I mean come on! That fireplace and those built ins, the perfect contrast for the all white areas.

The rest of the home, on a lighter note, is just as beautiful. Very modern and chic. I love the lines of every single piece, especially the seating. I also adore the hints of metallics that keep the home not too stark modern, but add a touch of luxury and glamour. Oh, and I really love all of the funky art too, most of all the framed Hermes scarf...so clever.

Decorating your home is a deeply personal endeavor, reflecting your unique tastes, preferences, and personality. But what if you could align your décor choices with the cosmic energies of the universe?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

When it comes to decorating your home according to astrology, you will need to consider your birth chart, a celestial snapshot of the planets' positions at the moment of your birth. Grab a FREE birth chart here.

While each planet and astrological sign plays a role in shaping your personality and preferences, certain placements in your birth chart can offer valuable insights into your home décor style.

• One area to focus on is your Ascendant, also known as your rising sign, which represents your outward personality and how you present yourself to the world. Decorating your home in alignment with your Ascendant sign can create a space that reflects your unique identity and personal style.

• Additionally, the placement of Venus, the planet of beauty and aesthetics, in your birth chart can provide clues about your taste in décor and design. It’s also important to dress for your Venus sign.

  By exploring these key elements of your birth chart, you can gain a deeper understanding of your innate decorating instincts and create a home that truly resonates with your astrological identity.
