Lucky numbers: 1, 3, 4
Lucky colours for 2022: peach, yellow, white, light green
Confident Tigers have no problem embracing colour in the home, and with vibrant yellow and peach bringing good fortune in 2022, this is the year to invest in bright bed linen. Tigers are natural leaders and thrillseekers and deserve a sleep space that reflects their big-cat status—a bold bedhead matches this sign's magnetism

Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 9
Lucky colours for 2022: grey, silver, lavender, white, yellow
The Rabbit is gentle and sensitive, suited to a serene pastel colour palette that makes a subtle statement. Never one to miss a beat, Rabbits should use their attention to detail and artistic eye to create vignettes with objects, from candle holders to vases, and invest in a statement pendant or sculptural floor lamp for ambience after dark.

Lucky numbers: 1, 6, 7
Lucky colours for 2022: gold, deep purple, orange
The Dragon is drawn to gold this year, and in the home, a gleaming bar cart complements the revered sign's flashy energy. Intelligent and generous, Dragons will get a kick out of throwing a cocktail party and dreaming up drinks for their friends; just add matching metallic barware and glasses cast in every colour of the rainbow. 


​

Snake

Birth years: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
Lucky numbers: 2, 8, 9
Lucky colours for 2022: light green, blue, silver
Snakes are private creatures and the most enigmatic of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. The bedroom is their sanctuary, and for extra privacy, Snakes can demarcate their room with decorative screens that add to the allure.


​

Horse

Birth years: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
Lucky numbers: 2, 3, 7
Lucky colours for 2022: dark green, dark brown, black
Animated, active and energetic, the Horse desires freedom, or at least be reminded of it. Those born in the year of the Horse feel most at home surrounded by pieces made from natural materials such as timber bar stools or a marble kitchen island. Incorporating greenery and a verdant feature wall will help bring the outside in.


​

Goat

Birth years: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 9
Lucky colours for 2022: orange, red, bright yellow, purple
The Goat is easygoing and cheerful (if not a touch disorganised), making the free-wheeling spirit of boho decor a perfect match. Alongside embroidered cushions, a lived-in leather sofa and painterly wall art, rattan's timeless appearance makes it a winner across lampshades, accent chairs and more.


​

Monkey

Birth years: 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
Lucky numbers: 1, 7, 8
Lucky colours for 2022: navy, purple-red, olive, cobalt
The sociable Monkey values relationships and would be amiss without a dining table big enough to host all their friends and family. These movers and shakers bounce from one project to the next and aren't afraid to change their home environment, making a modular sofa an equally smart investment.

Rooster

Birth years: 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
Lucky numbers: 5, 7, 8
Lucky colours for 2022: pink, blue, dark green
A maximalist aesthetic suits the adventurous Rooster and makes it easy to incorporate lucky pink, green and blue. Roosters can elevate bold colour by leaning into opulent velvet and laying down a high-contrast floor rug that continues the look underfoot. 

Dog

Birth years: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
Lucky numbers: 3, 4, 9
Lucky colours for 2022: yellow, black, blue
With an instinct for helping others, the selfless Dog prefers coming home to intimate spaces where they can recoup and re-energize. To create the perfect nook for one, those born in the year of the Dog can style an oversized armchair with cosy throw blankets and practical side tables that offer plenty of room for books, cups of tea and soothing candles.


​

Pig

Birth years: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
Lucky numbers: 2, 5, 8
Lucky colours for 2022: soft green, purple, pink, blue-grey
​Naturally gentle and caring, the Pig understands the need for nurturing environments within the home. The bedroom may spring to mind first, but bathrooms can also provide a relaxing space for self-care. Pigs should look to curvaceous mirrors, above-counter basins and elegant vanity units to inject spa appeal.

Rat

Birth years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Lucky numbers: 2, 3 
​Lucky colours for 2022: coral, soft pink, white
​The ambitious and organised Rat requires a home office that's streamlined and simple. Ever resourceful, those born in the year of the Rat prefer classic pieces that stand the test of time, though Rats should consider investing in a retro or replica office chair for decorative flair that is always in style. 

Ox

Birth years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Lucky numbers: 9, 1
Lucky colours for 2022: brown, green, dark orange
If anyone can appreciate artisanal ornaments and handmade ceramics, it's the diligent, patient Ox. This hard-working zodiac animal needs comfortable spaces for downtime at home, including a living room filled with soft cushions cast in earthy—and lucky—browns, oranges and greens.
