THE PERFECT MATCH: YOUR IDEAL HOME BASED ON YOUR STAR SIGN

5 star homebuilder, Barratt Developments Yorkshire West is playing Cupid this Valentine’s Day (Monday 14th February) by identifying prospective buyers’ dream homes based on their zodiac signs.

With it reported that the number of homes being built in the United Kingdom is rising, it is becoming increasingly difficult for home hunters to find their perfect match. This Valentine’s Day, Barratt Developments, which includes the Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands, is using prospective buyers’ zodiac characteristics to help find the right home for them.

AQUARIUS, JANUARY 20TH – FEBRUARY 18TH

Despite being one of the most independent signs in the zodiac, Aquarians are true extroverts, so a semi-detached home will help create the perfect balance. They thrive in large groups and are born to entertain, which is why a space to host is essential. However, their peculiar sense of humour and outcast look on life pair them perfectly with a double fronted home with a dual-aspect lounge and open-plan dining kitchen where they can experiment with style and layout, like The Moresby.

ARIES, MARCH 21ST – APRIL 19TH

Aries do what they want, how they want and when they want so our advice to them would be to find a property that reflects their sense of adventure. Aries can ensure that they stand out from the crowd in a uniquely styled home that features a clever use of space, with a handy utility and a single bedroom that can be transformed into a home study, such as The Kingsley.

TAURUS, 20TH APRIL – 20TH MAY

Taureans dependability and reliability can be reciprocated with a traditional home, the perfect environment for a sign that enjoys predictability. Despite never feeling fatigued, Taurus’ would benefit from a home that gives them a large main bedroom with adjoining en suite to give them space to unwind, like The Kirkdale.

GEMINI, 21ST MAY – 20TH JUNE

Versatile Geminis need a free-flowing space to suit their changing mood, whether they’re feeling introverted or extroverted. A three-storey home, like The Greenwood, which offers an open-plan dining kitchen to entertain and an upstairs lounge to unwind will give them everything they need to be the life and soul of the party or take some time for themselves.

CANCER, 21ST JUNE – 22ND JULY

As the ultimate homebody of the zodiac, finding the perfect place to call their own is of utmost importance to Cancerians. They are most at home in predictable environments where they can be comfortable, and their desire to keep traditions alive calls out for a chocolate box, double fronted home. Cancerians have many moods, so a home that can create balance with large living spaces and storage solutions to ensure they’re never overrun by clutter is the perfect fit, such as The Denby.

LEO, 23RD JULY – 22ND AUGUST

As one of the most creative signs, attention-loving Leos need a big home to match their big personalities. Fans of the theatrics and lovers of luxury, Leos are best suited to a home that exudes elegance. An entrance hall fit for a red-carpet and four bedrooms to match their unrelenting appetite for growth will give Leos plenty to roar about, like The Holden.

VIRGO, 23RD AUGUST – 22ND SEPTEMBER

Virgos are known for being perfectionists. They take immense pride in their surroundings, so don’t be surprised if they impose a “shoes off at the door” rule. Virgos prefer to exist in organised spaces and their introverted personalities make them a great match for smaller homes that offer cosy living spaces for them to truly be themselves, like The Ellerton.

LIBRA, 23RD SEPTEMBER – 22ND OCTOBER

Prone to fantasy, Libras are most at ease in a creative environment. They are known for being receptive and reflective of their surroundings, so a home full of inspiration is key. But it’s not just bricks and mortar to a Libra; a home that encompasses pleasing aesthetics, sustainability and gives easy access to the outdoors, such as The Maidstone, will ensure they are revitalised and balanced.

SCORPIO, 23RD OCTOBER – 21ST NOVEMBER

Scorpios are full of surprises, and whilst they may appear intimidating at first, they soon open up to reveal their quirks, charm, and for those closest, their secrets. A home which features multi-purpose rooms to meet their flexible personality, plus plenty of enhanced storage options (to hide their secrets from prying eyes) makes The Ennerdale the perfect place to lay their head.

SAGITTARIUS, 22ND NOVEMBER – 21ST DECEMBER

Though it might be hard to keep Sagittarians in one place as a result of their love for travel, a spacious environment is the perfect place for them to call home. A home like The Windermere that offers four double bedrooms, open-plan living and a spacious garden will give them plenty of space to enjoy.

CAPRICORN, 22ND DECEMBER – 19TH JANUARY

Stable Capricorns are often known as workaholics, which is why a home that encourages a healthy work-life balance will benefit their lifestyle. With traditional values, a strong love for family and a desire for self-sufficiency, a spacious and practical family home that has a dedicated home study, like The Radleigh will offer security and stability.

PISCES, 19TH FEBRUARY – 20TH MARCH

Pisceans are very affected by the environment around them, so a warm and cosy ambience is essential to offer strength, security and comfort. Despite being inward-facing, an isolated home will make Pisceans feel like a fish out of water. Pisces is a nurturing sign that has excellent family relationships so a stylish family home that offers plenty of space to enjoy quality time together or start their own family is ideal, such as The Archford.
