Style Secret: Indoor-Outdoor FlowIt may sound quaint now, but back in the '50s, the idea of indoor-outdoor living was revolutionary for the average American. Midcentury modern homes took advantage of the new passion for bringing the indoors out and vice versa: wide windows, sliding doors, patios. The idea was to create a connection with the natural world that worked equally well with a book in your lap during a quiet moment or a cocktail in your hand at a party.Make it yours: If you have the means, space and ambition to knock out a wall or install a giant plate-glass window, don't hold back. But you can still create an indoor-outdoor aesthetic without major demolition. Leave windows bare so as not to obscure the view or consider installing skylights. Or, at the very least, choose wallpaper and other accents with a natural motif.

Short on money but not on style? Collect rugs over time and build a cohesive grouping. Use your gathering with collected furniture finds for a unique look at a frugal price point.Tip: This look is for those confident in their style choices. Start out with two complementary patterned rugs and then move up to collecting a full grouping of smaller pieces.

Clean, simple and uncluttered. But with a mixture of textures and patterns from the rugs and lots and lots of natural light.

Ludwig van Beethoven is always heroic but with a gentle tranquility that elevates. And I find this music to be quiet. Not the quiet of silence, but the quiet of a struggle to go beyond and to be more. To be heroic in a way that's personal rather than clamorous.

Part of the Japanese aesthetic is simplicity. On the BB1-30XN Table Lamp, a boxy paper shade balances atop a slim stem with a rock-like round base.

Lovely. Would not want the whole room to be period mid century, although I like it a lot.

Do you like the different area rugs? Do you want to create many areas to do different things you enjoy doing to move around your space?
