HOW TO DECORATE DARK ACADEMIA STYLE - moody made easy! 🖤

This moody style has been really growing in popularity, especially online, with the hashtag #darkacademia having over 5 *billion* views on TikTok alone at the time of publishing this video. It's also one of the most popular articles on my website right now (article linked below), so I figured now was a good time to make a video for you!

I’m a guy and never thought about design once in my life until I saw this video, and this decor style spoke so loudly to me I’ve decided to actually get serious about decor

[Smitty_AUS]

Dude this is the style ive been looking for in my house. Like the other bloke said ive never thought about interior design in my life, but this video popped up on my feed and its exactly how i want my house to look. Cheers for the ideas 👍

My absolute favourite style. I’ve been doing it for years (yes, I’m getting old) and will never tire of it. This was an excellent video, thank you.

I love that this style is both very masculine and feminine at the same time if done purposely. Classic, timeless, comforting, rich and beautiful.

I just painted my room a dark green
(What I wanted was a green that reminded me of ivy growing in the shadows). I first painted my room a light robins blue when I first moved into my house, that was over 4years ago. I was so nervous because it was a really big difference. I felt like I grew and changed so much emotionally since moving into the house. As I was painting it sort of hit me that painting the room really felt like i was transitioning from the person I was to stepping into who I really was now. I struggled a lot with my mental health for like 10years, thankfully I feel so much more aware and confident in who I am now. The blue for me felt like I was at that time pretending to be really light and cheerful, the dark green just felt more cozy, grounded and just really sure in my decisions as a person. All this to say, color in a room can really have an impact on emotions or reflect how you feel. Sometimes if you choose to make a change you may be pleasantly surprised to realize how much you have grown as a person 😊

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
After years of looking for "Dark, Victorian decor etc " I now realise that this is what i have been looking for the whole time, I just didn't know it had a name. After 1000's of tiny / Victorian house tours over many years, yours is the only content i have ever downloaded from yt. You will never know how grateful I am for this vid 🖤

"Dude, that rug really tied the room together." The Big Lebowski. Kidding. Great video. :)

[AdamsonePaulaTorres]

Thank you for naming our style 😍 after years of calling it gothic THIS makes perfect sense. Our home is painted mostly limousine black and charcoal locust gray but weo love a wall of guitars, book cases and bright gemstone paces and my gemstone specimens + the leather chesterfield. For years I literally Cried over having white walls in our initial rentals, now painting the house black feels so good. Dark is relaxing and accentuating the stuff we have and display while white is reflective and so cognitively exhausting. Especially in Miami where we always have blazing sun ☀️ too much light causes anger and psychosis. That’s why Starbucks Dark and darker feels so soy, cozy and nice.

I absolutely love dark academia! 🖤 It goes so well with my interest in poetry, art and history

[DavidGonzalez-mcul]

The only video on this style I found to be informative, useful and engaging. Now I would be so pleased so watch something similar on LIGHT academia style! 🙏 There's almost nothing here on YouTube!

[princesslithium]

Living rooms, sleeping rooms, libraries, etc. are easy enough. PLEASE do a follow up video including the difficult parts, that being kitchens and lavatories. I really can imagine how to include this "Dark Academia" esthetic to a shower for example.

[TheSlickmicks]

Dark Academia has always been my favorite style. Ever since I was a kid.

[MacdonmMacdonm]

I just fell in love with that purple velvet sofa!!!! I need it!!!

[juliefette]

I absolutely love this look! Just gorgeous, warm and cozy. All of the books, candles, etc are fabulous!

[HeronCoyote]

3:39. The living room with the deep green sofa: 😮whoa, I’m in love!!! My jaw literally hit my chest!
