rules for mixing painted and natural wood?

I love, love this site. We just bought our first real home after many years of renting flats, so I will probably have many questions.

I want to use both stained dark woods and painted wood furniture (white, most likely). Is there a rule as to proportion? Should one dominate? Also, which pieces should be white and which natural? I'm afraid I will create a mish-mash with no focal point, and would appreciate any help.

I'm going for an airy, slightly cottage look....I think.
