March can be a real slog. At this point, we’re a thousand years into winter and we couldn’t be more over it. But then there’s one day of beautiful weather and hope is restored. Those resolutions that fell to the wayside are picked up again. By the time we get to the end of the month, things are rapidly changing—the transition from sleepy Pisces season to energetic Aries season is palpable. We’re no longer wandering through a murky haze but instead are snapped awake and ready to start anew. It’s not a coincidence that spring cleaning coincides with messy Aries season—a time when we’re ready to toss old items with reckless abandon and blaze through our homes in a tornado of Windex and Lysol.
Aries is where it all begins. It’s the first sign of the Zodiac, bursting onto the scene with a shimmering spirit. When we enter Aries season, we finally feel the heat that’s been missing during the long winter months. Aries celebrities are known for being born leaders who don’t mind doing things their own way. Their fiercely independent minds are filled with brilliant ideas that they have no trouble executing but sometimes falter on the follow-through. Aries can also be impulsive hot messes—they might do something without really considering the consequences, which isn’t always a bad thing if they can handle the heat! Aries season is our opportunity to go big or go home and pull the trigger on anything we’ve been dragging our feet on. It’s a time to put our whole hearts into doing what we love and figuring out the pesky details later. Let these 10 Aries celebrities pave the way for your own future home updates.
Where’s your head at?
There’s a lot happening in Michael Imperioli’s museum-level Italian-themed New York City apartment, but one of the more noticeable details is his abundance of busts. In astrology, Aries rules the head, linking the actor’s obsession with this classic antique to his fiery sun sign. You could copy him by getting matching Dante busts or transport yourself to the White Lotus and find one of those freaky head-shaped testa di moro vases.
Getting your point of view across
The most shocking part of Robert Downey Jr.’s home in the Hamptons isn’t that it’s located inside of a windmill or the massive praying mantis sculpture on his front lawn. Instead, it’s the many paper signs that inform you to not let the cats out in supersized Microsoft Word font. Sometimes an Aries just needs to get their point across, aesthetics be damned! This makes my Aries dad’s inability to remember his phone, keys, and wallet before he leaves the house slightly more charming.
Let the room shine with a moody mix of metals
Mandy Moore’s Pasadena house is a soft blush-toned midcentury dream but with a little bit of a twist. There’s a massive copper fireplace hood in the middle of her living room, inspiring her to bring in shiny rose gold coffee tables and brass inlays in the floor. Technically, the metal associated with Aries is iron, but Mandy’s mixture of metals feels aligned with the more brassy, masculine Aries spirit.
Measure twice, cut once
When Shay Mitchell bought a thousand-pound crystal chandelier for her 1920s Spanish-style Los Angeles home, the actress admittedly didn’t think about whether her ceiling could hold a light fixture of that weight. She ended up being able to make it work, but this is a subtle reminder to all the impulsive Aries out there that it’s okay to measure twice to cut once—or in this case, make sure your ceiling can hold an enormous chandelier.
Don’t be afraid of getting physical
Before David Harbour went viral for the controversial carpeted bathroom in his home with wife Lily Allen, the actor hosted a solo tour of his NYC loft. This apartment is a gorgeous open space with plenty of enviable pieces, but the bedroom is simple—just a bed, chair, and a Pilates reformer machine. Aries don’t really need much to get by, but they require a place to workout since they constantly have excess energy coursing through their veins. Perhaps this is the time to finally pull the trigger on a Peloton or upgrade that worn out yoga mat?
Home is where the spa is
Aries have a strong competitive streak and make incredible athletes, so it’s fitting that tennis pro Maria Sharapova was born under the sign of the ram. But every Aries needs a place to unwind and decompress after all of their victories. The tennis star’s oceanside Los Angeles home takes plenty of inspiration from simple, sleek Japanese architecture and gives off the feeling of stepping into an exclusive spa. But it’s not all chill vibes—she also has a functional bowling alley in her basement.
Red (Aries Version)
There are plenty of Aries who like simple, clean homes, but there are also Aries that like bright, bold pops of color. Designer Tommy Hilfiger is lucky enough to have had the best of both worlds—a light and airy Palm Beach palace and a dusky penthouse in the Plaza hotel. The most Aries-like feature of his New York City pad is his son’s bedroom, painted a dazzling shade of blood red. Red represents this passionate fire sign, so check out a new red accessory for your home this season.
Celebrate bold joy
Justina Blakeney’s Mediterranean-esque southern California home seems to radiate pure joy, from the worldly tchotchkes filling the pink shelves to the Jungalow-designed floral wallpapered guest room. You can tell Justina really loves everything about her home, and an Aries is never going to be shy about what makes them happy! Find a new lamp or print that brings the biggest smile to your face and bring it home with you.
DIY vision boarding as manifestation
Have you told yourself that you’re going to get into vision boarding and manifestation one day? Aries are incredible manifestors, so take this as your sign to pick up the scissors and start collaging. Even Big Sean, who’s already achieved fame and fortune, has a class-project-style vision board on the wall of his feng shui-ed Beverly Hills mansion.
Prioritize fun above all else
At the end of the day, an Aries just wants to have a good time! Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio definitely had that in mind when designing her sprawling resort-like backyard. There’s a massive barbecue, a big TV to watch soccer, and even a zipline for her children. Every Aries needs a place to let loose and party with their friends and family.
