It depends on the context:
down-to-earth adj.
Realistic; sensible.
Not pretentious or affected; straightforward.
Not overly ornate; simple in style.
down-to-earth
adjective
Having or indicating an awareness of things as they really are: hard, hardheaded, matter-of-fact, objective, practical, pragmatic, pragmatical, prosaic, realistic, sober, tough-minded, unromantic. See excite/bore/interest, real/imaginary.
down to earth
Back to reality. For example, It's time the employees were brought down to earth concerning the budget. P.G. Wodehouse had this idiom in Very Good, Jeeves! (1930): "I had for some little time been living . . . in another world. I now came down to earth with a bang." [ Late 1920s]
