Anyone who hasn’t been hiding under a rock lately knows Dark Academia is having its day! The timelessness of the decor never goes out of style, even when trends change. The one drawback of Dark Academia is that it is…well…DARK! 

​If you love the Academia vibe with its focus on collegiate accents, nostalgia, traditional elegance, aristocratic sensibilities, and hints of world travel but don’t love the heaviness of the dark furnishings consider Light Academia. Use lighter colors on the walls, fabrics, and furniture with a few carefully selected dark pieces for contrast to achieve the same Old World charm without the brooding masculinity associated with Dark Academia.

Are you interested in Light Academia but need some inspiration to get started? Then you’re in luck! I scoured our favorite online marketplace—Amazon—to find 20+ home accents and furnishings you will love! 


Item 1— Wood Book Boxes, 2-pack from the Tosnail Store

We’ll start this list with the most important “decorative” element in an Academia style—books! In this case, the books are actually storage boxes to hide all the small things you don’t want lying around and creating clutter.

Item 2— Vintage Nautical Compass from US HANDICRAFTS

Another must-have accent in an Academia-style room is a piece of scientific equipment. This nautical sundial makes an interesting conversation piece for a side table or desk.

Item 3— Chalmette Table Vase from the Touch of Class Store

Touch of Class is one of my favorite stores! If you are looking for something elegant with Old World charm—like this gorgeous marble and resin vase—you simply must check out their store!
