HOW TO Decorate DARK ACADEMIA Style Interiors | Our Top 10 Insider Design Tips

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Many of these spaces I would consider too modern to be dark academia.

I had no idea our style had a name! “Dark Academia” sounds waaaay better than what our friends called it, “Professor Snape” 😂 although technically Dark Academia is exactly as Dark Arts 😁.
Thanks for the great video! I’m saving it when I’m feeling in a design rut. ❤❤❤

According to your examples dark academia is reserved for the ultra rich. Those of us who live in common housing with standard 8 foot ceilings and little in the way of gothic paneling and arches are excluded. Pretty pictures, but not very practical in attempting to work out how to achieve the effect with regular architecture in standard housing.

Love this style, but the drawback is that it all has to be dusted!

It is a VAST stretch of the imagination that many of the examples in this video represent "Dark Academia". Dark Academia is NOT about light colored modern furnishings in modern rooms with pale walls & large windows, nor is it about seeing the same examples you've used in videos for other styles. While your examples are representative of a certain "luxury" style, they do not encompass what the various styles you talk about actually consist of. I liked your videos at first, but after seeing the same image used as an example of "Cottage Style", "Wabi Sabi", "Dark Wood Tones", "Coastal", and now "Dark Academia", I question your ability to understand various styles AND to get out of your same old same old design rut. Your aesthetic is fine for the clientele you design for, just don't pretend it's something it's not and certainly do not twist the various styles you talk about into something they are not. Unsubscribed.

Truly beautiful, you have done it again Susie just so timeless and classic

Love it! A little dark for me but I can always add color

i've never been able to find my exact style, it was parts of cottage core but then midcentury some victorian, gothic but this style is so perfect to me. thanks for the video it was very informative!

I didn't know that I already decorated my apartment with Dark Academia Style....😊🥰

This style is timeless , classy, elegant , i found today furniture to be like hospital furniture ,white , grey , straight cuts , nothing with personality , just my opinion

Can't we just call this the Estonian aesthetic, the Oxbridge, or the Beatnik aesthetic? I really hate the phrase Dark Academia.

I liked your decorating tips but I cringed at calling beautiful religious art "religious mythology" pictures.

Beautiful !

Low-key scary vibes

You only use candle if your electric is cut of due to no payment of electricity bill 🧐 I'm professor asd ASD 🤪

That obviously is quite a wide range of styles and materials: from modern, strict concrete structures to classic oak wood and historistic ornaments ...

Do you have light academia

Contemporary Steampunk

As I watch this, I’m coming to the realization everything in my home is on this list. I had no idea all the random treasures I collected over the years is a “style”. Haha- I suppose I’m not as unique as I once thought 😉

It feels so dark and foreboding! I couldn't live with this at all !

Is Ralph Lauren dark academia?

I love this video. Your video has made me feel better
in these times. I Love Books and learning new things
and this video reminded me of some old Apothecary
bottles I have had for years that were hidden away and I
have gotten them out. My love for them has been
renewed because of your video.
Thank you,
Jeff

One should never minimize themselves: that's the simple sentence from which my love for Dark Academia originates. Contrary to minimalism, which goes against the individual, this style is all based on manifesting your own personality and History. Kudos for this tutorial-documentary!

I've been trying to research this topic for a week now because it fits my personality to a tee and this was hands down the best video I've seen on the topic so far! I will definitely be re-watching this and taking notes. Thank you so much!

This is the style that my husband and I like and I'm wondering how to do this kind of look when we don't have any interesting architectural features. We just have a cookie cutter american suburban home from the late 90s/early 2000s. Would crown molding and upgrading the framing around our windows be enough? That's a pretty expensive thing to do. We need to update the cabinets and drawers throughout the house too.

Loving the dark style interiors !!!

Gorgeous 😍

Love it 🍷

I fell in love with this style when I watched Enola Holmes. Thank you for the video. I had no idea what it was called.

ATTENTION ! IF ANYONE HAS TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF BLACK PAINT ! THIS VIDEO GAVE ME THE COURAGE !! LOVE IT ! EVERY COLOR IS HIGH LIGHTEN BY BLACK , I STARTED OUT WITH MY LIBRARY BOOKCASES THEN TO A BIG FOYER TABLE AND A CABINET !! AND IT'S NICE ! OH I PAINTED THE SIDE BOARD IN MY DINING ROOM ! AND WHAT A TREAT SILVER AND RED TRANSFER DISHES JUST POP !!I LOVE THIS CHANNEL,,, I ALLOWED MYSELF TO GO FOR IT THANKS TO THESE BEAUTIFUL STYLED ROOMS AND I'M SO HAPPY !! THANK YOU

I absolutely LOVE this video and genre. Thank you for sharing it. I do collect a lot of memorabilia, antique silver frames, and sea shells from various ports of call, which I scatter around. Plus books... of course. My next step will be framing my grandparents' diplomas from Europe and old letters. I was lucky enough to inherit old artifacts and ephemera, so I am giving many of them their own special place.🌿

For the past 52 years people called my style “Introvert” hahaha So nice to have a name.

I want this once I get a house

This is my favorite esthetic for interior decor. I so enjoy all your videos. They are beautifully descriptive, informational and soothing to listen to and watch.

This is a style I've only heard about last year through music - interesting to see it's interpretation through decorating!

Who's farting out these ridiculously named decorating trends?

That's fascinating. Having grown up around antiques from the 1780s (and documents and books from earlier) through mid 20th century (we're from Colonial family and Dad was award-winning 1960s artist), it's incredible to me so see these designs that span centuries integrated into rooms together. 

The challenge is to ensure warm, well-lit spaces at focal points. The best libraries always had them. And I love the accent of cleverly cut foliage and blooms from outside--which we still put into 1870s bottles, arts and crafts vases, kitty 1950s lemon yellow bowls....people don't realize you can cut evergreen and mix it with liriope blooms and butterfly bush spears and a range of foliage throughout the year. Old bottles are my favorite.

I adore the style but could never afford it!!

I've been struggling to understand my design style but this video helped me conceptualize the authentic I've been unconsciously cultivating foe years. Hopefully I can begin to make it more cohesive now that I understand myself a bit better

Thank you so much for all your videos, you are definitely one of the very best interior designers. I love how you do all different styles with great flair. You're super talented, please keep them coming.

I have never heard the term before. Now I know what I am. Thanks. Traditional just never quite covered it.

This looks more like Hollywood Regency than "Dark Academia," which focuses on books, clutter, coffee, Greco-Roman motifs, a room that reflects the demands of higher education, particularly in connection with elite schools of Britain and the US.

i wish i could volunteer my house and you do whatever you like for photos or videos. I live in Connecticut. I have a country colonial house but it not decorated country. it's eclectic. i love colorful paintings and prints and music i have a baby grand piano, Tuscan dining table, ethnic pieces, natural elements clay, wood, crystal.

i love so many styles and colors. wow. your videos are amazing !

Great video thanks. Looks very comfortable.
