What is the ideal home for a Capricorn?

Each month, our series explores the affinities between astrology and lifestyle, examining the interiors that best suit each sign of the zodiac. Known for their high standards and work ethic, Capricorns favour rigorously designed spaces where every detail has a purpose.

Whereas some signs seek above all emotion or formal freedom, Capricorns are distinguished by a more structured approach to their living space. As their astrological period begins, from late December to mid-January, one question arises: which architectural and decorative codes best suit their personality?

Known for their perseverance, discipline and ability to concentrate, Capricorns attach great importance to environments that support their ambitions. According to Anthony Perrotta, an astrologer and interior designer based in Providence, this sign particularly appreciates properties offering beautiful volumes and impeccable organisation. A penthouse in East London, designed by New York architect Alexander Gorlin and fitted out by French firm Studio KO, is a perfect example. The light-filled office, with large windows and floor-to-ceiling storage, offers a functional and structured working environment that perfectly meets the expectations of this methodical sign.

Capricorns are very attentive to quality of workmanship and appreciate precision finishes and carefully selected materials. Rather than ostentatious luxury, they favour understated elegance based on durability and craftsmanship. The marble floors and bespoke fittings in this apartment in the heart of Annecy reflect this quest for discreet excellence, so dear to Capricorns.

This same high standard can be found in a 506 m² residence in Newport Beach, California, where every element has been designed with consistency and functionality in mind. Marble worktops, European-inspired oak storage units, fireplaces clad in veined travertine and taps with brushed nickel or chrome finishes come together to create a harmonious whole. The spacious dressing room, designed for optimal organisation, fully meets the Capricorns' need for order and clarity. For Anthony Perrotta, fluidity of use and efficiency of space are essential: an interior must function with the same precision as those who inhabit it.

As an Earth sign, Capricorn naturally gravitates towards deep, understated colour palettes that reflect its thoughtful nature. Shades of brown, dark green, navy blue, grey and cream pair well with authentic materials such as stone and wood. Textiles, rugs, cushions and curtains add a touch of softness without disrupting the overall balance. Overly bright colours or excessively fanciful choices are generally avoided, as are overly traditional décors, which can lack breathing space.

Finally, contemporary minimalism often resonates with Capricorns. Clean lines, open spaces and unobstructed views meet their need for clarity and perspective. A high-rise flat offering sweeping views of the urban skyline perfectly embodies this approach: architecture that allows you to rise above, both literally and figuratively, and look to the future with clarity.
