hi mom i follow u on ig and i really love the way you present yself but whenever i try to mimick someones style (fashion makeup etc) i look like crap lmao i was wondering if you had any advice im tired of not liking the way i look and i don't have anyone to help nor a lot of $$ :// thanks!

Hello dear,

You can't steal someone's style and hope that it will work for you because there are reasons why something will look good or bad on someone, such as their undertone, contrast, Kibbe body type, etc. (disclaimer: this will be highly summarised).

#1. Undertone: you can be cool (you have a lot of pink), warm (gold), neutral, or olive (green) and this has nothing to do with your skin colour. You can take a test online to figure yours by checking your veins, ability to tan or burn, putting your face next to coloured fabric and seeing how you look, etc. Certain shades (clothes, makeup, hair colour) will make your face look grey. A turmeric dress would look very flattering on Beyoncé but make Anne Hathaway appear sick and tired.

Good news: you can fake it if you don't like yours!

#2. Contrast: it can be low or high, depending on your skin, hair and eye colour - if they all look the same, it's low (Beyoncé), if there are strong differences, it's high (Anne). A low contrast will look better in more muted, similar colours (ex: cream and sage) for a softer look and a high contrast in deeper, unrelated shades (cream and emerald) for a more striking look. Your undertone and skin colour have to be taken into consideration here: I doubt Beyoncé would look great in sage.

#3. Kibbe is harder to understand and figure out but roughly your body can belong to one of twelve categories based on your height, fat distribution and the sharpness or softness of your features and this tells you what will look better on you. The spectrum goes from romantic (rounder, smaller, Elizabeth Taylor type) to dramatic (long, angular, Tilda Swinston vibe) - the perfect middle is classic (Grace Kelly).

And that explains why borrowing a piece of garment from a friend that's not shaped like you will backfire. If you don't have a waist and are handed a tube dress, no matter how pretty and fit you are, you will look like a little sausage.

So it's not like you look like trash, it's that you don't know what to go for. Remember to check out secondhand clothing websites, you don't need to break the bank: there are plenty of wonderful brand new items being sold online because the person realised it didn't look good on them! (There are other types of criteria available, like the season, saturation, etc. but you can cross that bridge when you get there).

Love,

Mum

Ten peaceful Scandi living rooms that feature minimalist design and natural materials

For this week's lookbook, we have picked ten Scandi-style living rooms from the Dezeen archive that play with textures and showcase natural materials, elegant accessories and muted colours.

Scandi style is a term used to describe designs from the three Scandinavian countries – Sweden, Denmark and Norway – but has also become a catchphrase that denotes minimalist interior design that uses plenty of natural materials, especially wood.

Wooden floors are traditional in Scandinavian homes, where they are often matched with wood details such as panelling and classic mid-century modern furniture.

Scandi living rooms often feature white or pale walls, which are common in the Nordic countries where the long, dark winter months mean people tend to choose light colours for their interiors.

Many of the ten interiors below also play with textures, adding fluffy throws to simple sofas, tactile rugs to wooden floors and rattan and leather seating.

This is the latest roundup in our Dezeen Lookbooks series providing visual inspiration for the home. Previous roundups include L-shaped kitchens, interiors that use internal glazing and inviting courtyards.

Gjøvik House, Norway, by Norm Architects

Located an hour outside of Oslo, Gjøvik House comprises six interconnected blocks with interiors featuring mottled grey walls, earthen textiles and warm wooden panelling.

Pale grey hues were used for the living room, which has a soft Bollo chair designed by Andreas Engesvik for Foglia and a modular sofa in a neutral grey tone.

According to the architect, the spaces were designed to have a "cosy and inviting feel, where you can truly hibernate while taking shelter from the frigid days of Nordic winter."

TypeO Loft, Sweden, by TypeO

The living room area of creative studio TypeO's guest loft in southern Sweden features floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens up onto a large balcony.

A coffee table by Isamu Noguchi for Vitra matches the wooden floor and beams and is complemented by Ligne Roset's Togo armchairs in black leather. Sculptural decorative details add an art gallery-like feel to the bright living space.

20 Bond Apartment, US, by Home Studios

Design firm Home Studios filled the 20 Bond Apartment in New York with bespoke furniture and vintage finds, including a leather Safari chair by Danish designer Kai Winding.

An entire wall is taken up by a bespoke shelving unit that the studio made from oak wood and brass, adding another Scandinavian-style feature to the room. A rattan table and a pink resin side table by Sabine Marcelis add a tactile touch.

Sculptor's Residence, Sweden, by Norm Architects, Menu and Dux

Norm Architects, Menu and Dux collaborated on this installation that was designed to resemble the "eclectic living quarters of a creative." Muted brown and beige hues lend the interiors an earthy, organic feel, which is contrasted by the elegance of the black marble table and black sculptures.

Menu's Hashira floor lamp adds a subtle nod to Japanese interiors, and its sleek surface offsets the knobbly texture of the brand's Eave Dining Sofa Bench.

Villa Weinberg, Denmark, by Mette and Martin Weinberg

Wienberg Architects collaborated with fellow Danish architects Friis & Moltke to overhaul the 1940s Villa Weinberg. The result is a warm, inviting home lined with oil-treated oak walls.

The wood-clad living room also has a simple wooden coffee table and poufs for lounging on, as well as a built-in leather-clad bench. A rice lamp and sheepskin throw add texture to the wooden interior.

Find out more about Villa Weinberg ›

Solviken, Sweden, by Johan Sundberg

Scandi living rooms tend to have very neutral colours, but in this space in a Swedish holiday home, two comfy sofas in a calming seafoam green create a bright focal point in the room. The hue is picked up by a painting at the end of the large, open-plan kitchen and living room.

Small unpainted wooden coffee tables match the floor and the wooden storage cabinets alongside one wall.

Find out more about Solviken ›

London townhouse, UK, by Daytrip

Design studio Daytrip's renovation and expansion of an east London townhouse includes a living room with white walls, a wooden floor and furniture in muted colours.

A textured "Banana" sofa designed by Danish Cabinetmaker, contrasts with the glass Trebol side table by Oscar Tusquets Blanca.

Numerous ceramics and sculptures surround the open fireplace and add life and interest to the sleek white interior.

Lyceum Apartments, Sweden, by Andreas Martin-Löf Arkitekter

The Lyceum Apartments in Stockholm are located in the Old Technical College's Pharmaceutical Institute and feature light-filled rooms with clean designs and historical details.

In the living room, a curved white sofa contrasts against the angular shapes of Pierre Jeanneret's wood and cane Easy Chairs, Soft beige curtains match the neutral hues of the rest of the room.

Find out more about Lyceum Apartments ›

Sommarhus T, Sweden, by Johan Sundberg

This summer house by Johan Sundberg features a green sofa and a matching armchair. Both are from Danish brand &tradition and match the verdant greenery outside the large glass windows.

A practical wooden table holds globe-shaped glass vases matching the slightly uneven glass lamps in the ceiling. The entire room is clad in pale wood, including the spruce floors, creating a calm, peaceful interior. The fixed furniture in the home was made from oak.

Find out more about Sommarhus T ›

Birkedal, Denmark, by Jan Henrik Jansen

A circular holiday home on the island of Møn in Denmark features a playful living room with white-panelled walls and a floor covered in small white pebbles collected from the beach.

A built-in curved sofa has brown leather seats that have been made cosier with added throws and pillows, and a small circular side table provides space for books, magazines and snacks.

colour scheme for living room with dark brown sofa

6 rules for combining with other colors

An interior with a brown sofa will turn out to be harmonious if you choose the right colors that match each other. The following combinations are considered tested:

With white . A classic combination that makes the design more expressive, atmospheric. In the presence of white, brown always intensifies, which is important to remember when decorating small rooms.

With beige . An elegant combination that is considered versatile as it suits any style of space. Black and white accents are added to make the room more interesting.

Black or gray . Black and gray highlight the warm tones of the brown sofa. If the color of the upholstery is cold and deep, the interior turns out to be strict and a little formal.

With blue or green . Combined with cool blues and greens, the brown sofa creates a soothing atmosphere. More saturated and warmer colors (olive, mint) are used to design modern interiors. Bright turquoise is perfect for cushions.

With red and yellow . Brown comes from a mixture of blue, red and yellow. It is not surprising that they always compliment each other well.

With pink or lilac . The combination is suitable for creating a soft, sophisticated interior. As additional shades of beige, sand, gray are used.

Interiors and styles

When choosing the right piece of furniture, they are guided by personal preferences, design style and room dimensions.

A brown sofa in a light interior is appropriate for any room size. If the room is small, and the sofa has already been purchased, it is worth abandoning dark finishes in favor of light, neutral and pastel variations. Traditionally, they adhere to the following solutions:

In the design of the living room

Convertible sofas with the possibility of organizing extra beds are popular. To emphasize the elegance of the interior, choose a vintage sofa, possibly with a capitonné (carriage coupler).

In the kitchen

In the studio space of the kitchen-living room, you can find a place for a compact sofa in the kitchen area. An angular structure is suitable for a recreation area; it will also act as a separator of the two parts of the room.

In the nursery

The brown convertible sofa is a practical choice for a child’s room. To make the atmosphere not only cosy, but also cheerful, furniture is complemented with bright decor: pillows, curtains, carpet.

If a sofa is chosen for a specific style, its shape, color and upholstery material are taken into account. In classic directions, both plain sofas and options with patterned or striped upholstery are appropriate.

For modern styles (minimalism, hi-tech), models of a strict form of muted shades are suitable. The sofa can become an accent of the interior, then they choose a copy that contrasts with the environment.

For example, a leather sofa is suitable for a loft or a modernist style, but in a loft, it will have a base made of a steel profile, and in a modernist style – legs and armrests made of natural wood.

The brown sofa is a frequent detail in the interiors of modern apartments and houses. Its popularity is due to the versatility of colors and the huge number of shades that fall into the brown palette.

It doesn’t matter if a classic or modern interior needs a sofa, the item is selected according to several criteria.

It is important to take into account the peculiarities of its operation, therefore, they pay attention to the design, upholstery material, shade and consistency with the colors of the decoration and decor.

Streets with no Doors

Streets with no Doors, 2020. Installation, Mixed Media. Dimensions Variable.

Description: This is a mixed media installation titled ‘Streets with no Doors’, as a response to an extract from one of my poems. This piece consists of, two ivory aged cloths, one suspended by nails draped in a wave like shape, the other placed beneath with impure purposeful wrinkles. Two dried bananas, one hung ‘limbs’ outstretched whilst the other on the ground shrivelled and entangled. A dark wooden green leather chair with copper embossed edges. A bed pan delicately placed on the leather cushion. Beneath the suspended cloth is a mini speaker, behind the door {top left} is another speakers playing a 5 minuet loop of ‘Little Anne Street’ 2020. This piece is looking at memories of hospitalised bodies through suggestions of light, decay and space. Poem:

Putrid pear

Streets with no doors

My broken chest-

That of draws

With floor without carpet

Spines scarlet

Skins sore

The sycamore no more-

Lost sight to be bore.

Whirr were there- tear, where?

Now? no.

You’re in the all clear...

Impure impair unsure, un-cared, broken peel un-repaired. Bones rejection, spinal injection. Juice extraction but mould infection. Infested sores sewn indoors,

Fruit flesh behind locked doors

Knees on chest- knows no rest

Fruit forbidden- taken home in a bag

Plums bruised- fruit confused

A patient so rare.

No apple to compare

Chair ground bound- going no where

Teddy bear companion- in living room warfare

Tastes no toffee apple- empty fair.

Empty remains

Leftover fruit

Sofa body remains- sight mute

{Abnormal Veins}

Gap be Closed

Gap be Closed, 2020. Installation, Mixed Media. Dimensions Variable.

Description:

Gap be Closed, is a film installation spin of from Streets with no Doors, 2020. This documentary film is following the first person steps through a hospital during an Eye Electro-physiology test. The film projection and sounds are spliced across a multitude of archival objects such as dried fruit and domestic objects.

A Name Full of Colour, You Remind Me of Home

A Name Full of Colour, You Remind Me of Home, 2020. Installation Photography, Dimensions Variable, Series of Four.

Description: This series of photographs explore various domestic space installations and archival objects. These installations are photographed with an importance around perspective through the angular shots and reflections. Through the focal points of one window these illusional ‘de-skilled’ effects are heightened through dramatic shadow work and contrasting tonal qualities.

Waves Woven

Waves Woven, 2020. Installation Photography, Dimensions Variable, Series of Four.

Description: These black and white photographs detail four separate space installations, in different ways they each have a painterly narrative through oceanic movements. This series presents a balance between tonal experiments of structural light and tactile materials. Each fragment of this series is focusing on a different ‘part’ to a wider archive, such as, discarded copper wires, abandoned windows, old cloths, decayed fruits and shadows. This series conceptually emulates the fragile beauty of ‘the decrepit’ and uses broken or mended parts to narrate decayed bodies {of oceans, fruits and people}.

Gravel under Foot

Gravel under Foot, 2020. Film Still Photographs, Dimensions Variable. Series of Three.

Description: This series of photographs are film stills taken from an experimental film capturing the fleeting moments between bodies and their tactile connections with outdoor spaces. The film in some ways emulates my navigation of space through my hands. There is a merging between various forms such as body parts, outdoor spaces, domestic objects, reflections and movements. The techniques of these stills uses a long exposure camera effect following performative interactions.

38/97 Bananas

38/97 Bananas, 2020. Sculptural Photography, Dimensions Variable.

Description: This photograph is capturing a temporal sculpture, through the blending of rusty metals and leathery fruit skins. This piece pays homage to my collection of 97 dried bananas and uses the circular focal point to narrate perspective and create an intriguing ambiguity of decayed imagery.

Casa Afuera

Casa Afuera, 2020. Installation Photography, Dimensions Variable. Series of 9.

Description: ‘Home Outside’ is a series of bedroom installations using a range of projected photographs. Collaged through bedroom objects the projections and camera obscura techniques create illusional spaces through reflections and shadow work. This series merges a multiple of binaries such as outdoor & indoor spaces, beauty with decrepit. Thus, conceptually this work aims to create one visual through the joining of once separate perspectives.

Wait Patiently

Wait Patiently, 2020. Shifting medium, Dimensions Variable.

Description: Wait Patiently, is a photograph of a sculptural installation. This work is made in response to a piece of text exploring bodily decay through fruits, buildings and people. The work displays five thoughtfully nailed bananas in a human like linear queue. Overlaying this with a projection of an image from Waves Woven, 2020 Series of 4. The work is physical, you can smell this, touch this, taste its shape. It is dried, for months, photographed, suspended, nailed, collaged, and repeated. Text:

Fruit as Body,

Fruit as Soul,

As damage.

Listen- {to my meadow Memorial}

Pull my peel

Pope my parts

Wait till I’m decay

Rose my days,

Gate my shades

Woe my path be spoken

Silk my fruit

Insides broken garden.

Dig my soil the same

Peach be bare

Second floor up- door down there...

Popes cuisine

Angels desert

Grave for a fruit

Baby be hurt,

Woe what’s deserved

Doubted loss

Ring my remains

Orange on a cross.

Dorian Way

Dorian Way, 2020. Spoken Word Performance, Series of 2. 372 Bristol, Live stream.

Description: Dorian Way is a delicate spoken word performance piece, performed during lock down at the 372 residency {additionally as a live stream.} The work deals with inclusive and accessible ways to present texts and visual matter to audiences. The title ‘Dorian Way’ is a nod to a place I connect with recovering form an illness that resulted in changes to my vision. Thus, the work explores tactile movements and language that provokes visually stimulating imagery.

Sunken Movies

Sunken Movies, 2020. Installation Photography, Dimensions Variable. Pt 1 - Pt 2.

Sunken Movies, Part 1:

Description: Part 1, is a piece that informed/is in formed by a piece of text I wrote about a forgotten place at sea. Using pages from a sketch book of cut out words sourced form various old books, bedding and abandoned cinemas, spliced together through textures and projections. Text:

Conversations in the ocean

A body - slow motion

The silent melody

Buried endlessly

Swam in waves woven,

Pitted potent ocean

The siren so speech-less

Spitting sea swallowed (w)hole

But buried pip

A breathless drip,

Of lonesome serenity

No place heavenly

This sound-less melody.

Now gap be closed

Core exposed

Fruit decomposed the skin unclothed.

A doves message

Deep sea wreckage

The mothers message

Sea soaked dressing,

Wound be stung

Salt covered tongue

Now waves begun...

Sunken Movies, Part 2.

Description: As a continuation of the Pt.1 {including the text}, this extension playfully navigates nostalgia through subtle dream like colours, and fragile textures. The combination of archival aged objects such as mirrors, fruits, bedding and more... with this palette and tonal investigations create a ‘heavenly’ illusion. Interested in nostalgia, third space and perspective, Sunken Movies investigates the relationship between space, object and text. I also see this work as something experimental, exciting and new to my practice in terms of colour and softness. Responsive text:

Lost baby

Hollow tree

Halo be broke

Tip his harp

Now grasp my wing,

A heart to hop

But rein to grasp

of fallen crown

Solemn chamber land

So, drink the gone

Forgotten now?

A child's message-

Spent sleep-less nights

The longing for daisies...

Her petal-less meadow

A buried babe,

Now apricot to rot

Sleeps in a grave.

Dig deep to be caught

Seed sown sorrow

{Noise in the back}

Time-less thought...

Movement gone

Whistling swan

Silence from

A bruised plum
