Dark. Gothic. Nostalgia. Old world. Vintage. Antique. Preppy. Romantic. Cozy. Sherlock Holmes. Fireside Chats. Libraries. Hogwarts. Dead Poets Society.
If these words had you saying “YES, please!” then the Dark Academia Design style is for you!. Dark academia is a design style that romanticizes education and learning. It is characterized by a moody, old-world feel. Pop Culture references include movies like “Harry Potter,” “Dead Poet’s Society," and “Knives out” due to their academic settings, references to the old world, and color palettes.
Follow along as I cover the characteristics of this nostalgic, warm, and dark design, create a mood board for a room design using Dark Academia elements, and head to the thrift store to see what kinds of Dark Academia treasures we can find. We’ll also talk about Harry Potter and the difference between Whimsigoth and Dark Academia.
