Surround yourself with these 12 dark and cozy items from Amazon this fall!  Images from Amazon.com. Click the links below to view or purchase. What is this Dark Academia decor style that is all the rage right now? It’s certainly not a new aesthetic, having been around since Victorian times. This dark and broody decor style has now been “rediscovered” by a new generation looking for a mature design style that feels like an escape from our hectic modern world. The look can be achieved with dark woods, Victorian furniture, antique ornate frames, and bookshelves full of collegiate material and old books. Decorate the space with accents that harken back to the age of discovery, such as botanical prints, species of butterflies in picture frames, scientific equipment like scales, a world atlas or globe, and a few exotic items from around the world. If you’d like to make the space look more Gothic, use black, grey, and deep red colors. Add spookier accents like skeletons, skulls, candelabras, black crows, and books by Edgar Allen Poe. Now you’re all set for Halloween! I scoured Amazon to find a few decorative accents you could use in a Dark Academia space or serve as inspiration for recreating the style in your own home. Let me know in the comments whether you tried any of these! What do you think of this design aesthetic? Is it your cup of tea? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
