Thank you for watching! What do you think about light academia decor? If you had to choose, would you choose light academia or dark academia?

I'm more of a light academia girl. I couldn't understand why I was so drawn to your videos because I was not a fan of the darker look, but I LOVED your style. Now I understand. I love the academia part, and now that you've shown how to do it lighter, I'm thrilled. Thanks, Steffi! You are the best part of my Sundays.

I love light academia…but I love dark academia that little bit more 😍. A two bedroomed flat with a bedroom done in each style so that I could sleep where my mood takes me would be lovely!

[mariawelling]

I live both. Dark in the winter and light in the spring 😊🎉❤

[joycerobinson]

Both styles are lovely, but I'm more attracted to the light academia style.❤

[JaneDoeDoeDeeOhDoe]

I love the light academia look. It's how I decorated my bedroom a few years back without any idea of what it's called. Definitely a look I gravitate towards.

It would be fun to combine the two styles in a house. Dark Academia in the dining room, a bedroom, maybe the living room, and Light in the kitchen, a bedroom, and maybe a bathroom in each? That would make for a really interesting and welcoming home. I would enjoy a video about combining the elements of the two in the same room or in a studio apartment too.

❤ the twist on light academia. The bust lamp would look amazing on a mirror base instead of the wood base. I'm one of those people who just has to customize everything I have! 😊 I haven't seen any of this style before, its much gentler on the spirit.

I appreciate the effort of at least adding a mock-up. While the objects were all gorgeous, I suspect they are also quite expensive. What I would really love is to see someone decorating a real life room in a certain style. But the mock up is more effort than most make, so yay! ( I totally understand that you cannot buy all the stuff and keep redocarating for YT. Oh and your kitty is darling❤)

Dark or light academia for me depends on the room, its use, and who is going to use it. My hubby loves dark academia for his office and quite frankly so do I, wonderful ambiance for serious work. Love your videos. Cheers from this Aussie.❤

[margeeeeS]

Definitely Dark Academia for me. I have tried other styles and always come back to this. Love your vlogs
I am a fellow neighbor from Seattle and love love your vlogs.Thank You.

I LOVE light academia! I think I've become a convert 🙂

[sheilafleet]

My daughter who has been living in dark colors loves these beautiful light ideas. Thank you for your creativity!

[FablesandFells]

I love dark but the dust/white dog fur situation is real 😅 It's nice to see more of the light style. It is really pretty. I never really thought of buying a separate headboard, that is a good tip. I've got a new house to decorate (well old house, new to me) so will need to go back through previous videos to help decide whether to lean dark or light this time!

[charlottehetherington]

I'm going to be moving soon and have the opportunity to have a different style for my bedroom I'm really leaning towards the light Academia it looks so pretty the way you had the mock-up

[lorrainewhitlock]

I love the light academia look and I was thinking how I could incorporate that into my bedroom. Thank you 🩷🌺💖

[nutmeg]

Thank you so much for the video! I like the idea of boho/white Acadamia. I’m pretty sure I saw a horse bust in Ross or Target. lol. I coukd either do that or go with a mermaid thing if I look at all my belongings/decore. Thanks for the tips! I need a Home goods run one of these days.

[lisacamilleri]

My taste goes darker as well, but that opening photo is gorgeous - I would definitely do that as well.

[Darkangel-A-cz]

I'll be having dark academia in my bedroom, with dark green walls, and light academia with white walls, colourful canvases and black door frames and skirting boards througout with black carpet and painted black vinyl throughout the flat

I miz the way you tell us about your own apartment... Always love to watch that part
