The Cancer Design Style
Cancers are a moon sign, so they are naturally drawn to cooler colours, like silver tones, white, and pearl. They are also water signs, so blues of all different shades make them feel instantly happy and positive. To boost the mood of the sensitive Crab and prevent overthinking and moodiness, designers recommend using soothing shades of blue and indigo liberally throughout their home.
The Crab has a strong need to unwind at home at the end of the day, so they will often choose furniture with soft, inviting textures. Think deep, sink into sofas and big, cozy armchairs with plush ottomans for relaxing with your feet up. Cancerians also gravitate towards home furnishings with curves and rounded edges, and often include handmade items and vintage finds – anything that holds personal meaning or summons cherished memories.
The Cancerian understands that nourishment is a key to good health, so if a Cancer invites you for dinner, you can expect a delicious meal, with all the health-promoting trimmings. As for metals, silver and iron are the metals of choice for this moon-influenced sign. On the dining table, you might notice a family heirloom silver candelabra as a centerpiece and stylish stainless steel flatware at each place setting.
A Cancerian Table Setting
The sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon, so the colors associated with it are typically white and silver. But adding blue accents to every room in the Cancerian home can help them connect deeply with their moody Cancerian feelings. An indigo and white plate is topped with a yellow salad plate, ready to serve a healthy salad as the first course. What’s more, Cancer is officially the first Zodiac sign of the summer season, so we chose a bright yellow plate to stand for the warm summer sun.
With a nod to the Crab’s appreciation for handcrafted pieces that can be passed down through generations, we thought the artisan-crafted Ridge stainless steel flatware set would be a perfect finish to this tablescape.
This artisan-crafted silverware set features hammered handles with a center ridge or pleat with a rounded base. The stainless steel flatware handles are left in a raw, nascent state, which causes natural pitting, a rustic look, and weathered patina.
To reflect the Cancerians' strong connection to nature and their “need to nourish others,” we created a centerpiece using a white scalloped planter and filled it with greenery and fresh fruit.
More blue accents were added, including handmade glassware. Finally, for that nostalgic touch that Cancer people cherish, a vintage set of lemon salt and pepper shakers and an inherited floral tablecloth complete this table setting.
The Sun enters Cancer around the 20th or 21st of June, which coincides with the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. This marks the official start of summer, which makes Cancer the official first sign of summer.
As a Cancer, your home is your happy place. With summer in full swing, expect family picnics in the park, romantic candlelight dinners for two on the patio, and plenty of outdoor grilling. It’s the perfect time to treat yourself to a new handcrafted stainless steel flatware set. From vintage-inspired styles to modern flatware settings, our selection has something for every taste and Zodiac sign.
