Your astrology sign says a lot about your personality traits, especially when you look at your chart as a whole. Leos are generous and outgoing, for instance, while the Pisces knack for empathizing makes them wonderful friends. But did you know you can use the zodiac for design purposes, too? Your taste and characteristics go hand in hand, making the stars perfect advisers for choosing, say, textiles, whether you’re looking to cover an accent pillow or upholstering an entire sofa. Read on to discover which fabric is your best match, according to your star sign.
