Did you know that the zodiac signs are divided into the four elements of fire, earth, air and water? Our homies, the Astrotwins (Tali and Ophira Edut) break it down for us in The New Bohemians Handbook. If you are a Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, your element is earth and chances are you are drawn to wood. Wood symbolizes slow and steady growth, grounding, and being deeply rooted like a tall, healthy, jungalicious tree.
Regardless of your zodiac sign, incorporating a few wooden pieces is always a good idea! Wood brings balance and grounding to your home. A hand-carved wooden coffee table, a mid-century modern console, or a dining table are great statement pieces that come in a variety of different woods. If baby steps are more your thing, keep an eye out for a wooden jewelry box, serving dish, or a pair of candlesticks at the next flea.

I love the Thonet chair, it is fabulous! I also work with wood, specifically walnut, to create mid-century inspired mirrors and coat racks. I am a Gemini, so I like light airy wooden pieces at home.

Wood furniture and accessories can enhance any room in your home. Since they are so versatile, they can also look great in a variety of decorating schemes. The goal is to buy the pieces that go best with your personal style.
