You're reserved but ambitious, striving upward and outward while remaining grounded.
DO: feature the colors and textures of the earth in your home: rustic woods, bamboo, natural rugs, iron, and the colors of dark green and brown. Bring in pops of color and complexity with handmade textiles and artifacts from India and Mexico. Think Frank Lloyd Wright, wood trim, and a wooded view (or a stained-glass window if the view is less than great).
DON'T: go overboard with the midcentury look. It's not the 1950s anymore — make sure no one thinks otherwise if they pop over for a visit. Streamlined Danish furniture is a good thing, but skip the vintage toaster and swap out retro fabrics for hand-dyed versions you sourced from Etsy.
