October's Stars Send Homeowners Back Through Their Own Rooms

Elle Decor's monthly design horoscope casts October as a time for reassessing what you live with, and it credits the shift to Venus, which is now moving backward in the sky. Read in an American house, that means a walk through the rooms you already own to look again at what earns its place and what no longer does. It doesn't call for a renovation or a purchase, only a clearer look at choices you've already made. For readers who measure a house by its architecture and its upkeep, a month of looking closely is a fitting season.
