What Does a Perfect Home Look Like for a Leo?
As Leo season heats up (July 23 – August 22), we’re revisiting one of our favorite concepts: what kind of home suits each zodiac sign? This month, Sotheby’s explored what makes a perfect home for a Leo—aka the star of the zodiac. And it’s just as bold and radiant as you’d imagine.
According to astrologer and interior designer Anthony Perrotta, Leos thrive in spaces that are "larger than life." These are the natural leaders of the zodiac—people who live with passion, love to host, and definitely don’t shy away from the spotlight. Their homes need to match that same level of charisma. Think: grand entryways, sky-high ceilings, sweeping windows, and rich, luxurious textures.
But even if you're not house-hunting in Dubai or Florida, you can still channel Leo-worthy vibes wherever you live. Here’s how:
Let the Light In. Leos are ruled by the sun, so it’s no surprise they crave natural light. Big windows, skylights, and bright, open layouts speak directly to their nature. If you're designing for a Leo—or you are one—opt for sun-drenched rooms and airy, uncluttered spaces.
Play With Color. This is not a beige-on-beige sign. Leos love warm, vibrant colors that energize a room—think golds, deep oranges, jewel tones, and bold statement walls. Rich textures like velvet, silk, and crystal add the kind of glamor they gravitate toward.
Don’t Skimp on the Drama. A dramatic foyer, a floating staircase, a grand dining room ready for a party—these are the spaces where Leos shine. These aren’t homes that whisper; they make an entrance. The more personality, the better.
Hosting Is the Hobby. Leos are natural hosts. Their ideal home should have spacious gathering areas—open kitchens that flow into great rooms, patios for summer soirees, rooftop terraces, or poolside lounges. They want to entertain, and they want their guests to be wowed.
Make It Personal. At the end of the day, Leo wants a home that feels like a reflection of who they are: bold, creative, and full of heart. Art that tells a story, design moments that spark conversation, and spaces that feel uniquely theirs are key. It’s not just about impressing others—it’s about feeling inspired in their own space.
