Cancerians are the hearts of the star sign world. Being a water sign, Cancerians are gentle, move with the flow, and are true homebodies. Aptly symbolised by the crab, Cancerians consider their home as their sanctuary. Little wonder then that they spend an inordinate amount of time doing it up!
Here are our home decor tips for all of you born under the star sign Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Key traits of a Cancerian:Sensitive, nostalgic, domestic, calm and collected
Colours
The colours in a Cancerian home exude warmth and hospitality that mirrors the personality of its residents.
Bold patterns or abstract wallpapers are also not for Cancerians as they prefer more traditional styles.
Style and decor
Similar to Taureans, domesticity is wired into the Cancerian personality. Family is the centre of their universe, and they like their homes to be cosy and filled with family fun. While a Cancerian might not have the aesthetic eye of a Taurean, they do like their homes to be done up well.
Cancerians also love clean and open spaces. This will be evident in the open-plan, wide kitchens and living areas where they can bond with friends and family.
Must-have interiors for a Cancerian home
A big comfy sofa would be an essential item in a Cancerian home given that they love having their family around them. Whether it’s a pull-out sofa or a soft, plush one Cancerians would love to be ensconced into its depths. A three-piece set with a corner ottoman that allows one to put their feet up would also do beautifully to make the Cancerian feel secure and relaxed.
For all their shyness and inclination to withdraw from the world, Cancerians are social beings. They love social gatherings and revel in the presence of close friends and extended family, which makes a large, sturdy table just the perfect centrepiece in the Cancerian kitchen/dining area. Consider an extendable dining table which is versatile and stylish or maybe a wooden, outdoorsy one that looks inviting and cosy.
Plants and flowers are also a big draw for a Cancerian who loves a sense of serenity in their home at all times. They love the soothing green of landscapes, and adding a few indoor flowers and plants into the home decor would complete the Cancerian home decor.
