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. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! 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. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! 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! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 4— Horse Table Sculpture from the Touch of Class Store
And speaking of Touch of Class…This resin statue with two horses in a loving embrace will look right at home on a bookcase in a living room, bedroom, or office! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 5— Tripod Tabletop Clock from the Design Toscano Store
Another go-to store for elegant home decor is the Design Toscano Store. This tripod clock is so unique! It’s the perfect piece for on top of a wardrobe or bookshelf. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 6— Greek Muses Glass Top Side Table from the Design Toscano Store
Bring a feminine touch into your Academia-style room with this round side table with a glass top held up by three sensuous nymphs! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 7— Stained Glass Lamp from the Design Toscano Store

Classical-style candelabras with a French flair in a gold finish make an opulent statement in any room! Don’t you love the cherubs?! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 9— Cherub Trinket Jewelry Box from the Design Toscano Store
Let’s keep the cherub theme going with my final choice from the Design Toscano Store—this cherub trinket box. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 10— Linen Curtains with Damask Floral Pattern, 2 panels from the H.VERSAILTEX Store
Get the best of both worlds with this curtain set! The traditional damask pattern in a light taupe color keeps the room from airy yet elegant. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Item 11— Ceramic Peacock Vase Set from NEWQZ
