Wands,books, antique alchemy bottles. Lovecraftian items. I actually have some questions Steffi. If my building has a bunch of tight restrictions how do I get around those for my decor? Also, How can I blend my love for mecha and sci-fi prop items without those looking too tacky in my decor?
Dark academia is truly one of my favorite aesthetics. I am drawn to black and dark color palettes. I am also a scientist and college professor. So… literally this is “me”. 🐈⬛📚🥀
I’m so stoked you’re covering Dark Academia! I’m such a fan of your beautiful style. I’m glad you address the misconception about dark colors shrinking a space, and the comparison of the night sky. I find it add depth as well! 🖤
Would you consider doing a video on how to combine distinct design styles? I'm moving in with my partner and they're a minimalist who likes light palettes ;-; complete opposites
Hello Steffi, I love and decorate in dark academia, I'm a big fan of Abigail Ahern and I'm also happy I get to enjoy the moody rainy weather of Seattle. Awesome video, Thank you for sharing 🌿🖤
Yay another dark academia video, thanks for sharing 🌚 Always good to see when you pop up in the feed ✨ Totally agree on dark being expansive, especially if the room doesn't have tons of natual light, leaning into the darker tones can really transform a small, dim room.
Hey Steffi! How are u? One question: i loved the final result! This particular It would fit in a men's apartment? Idk if i would do an entire decor with this style, but i liked some ideas. Some video ideas: ideas for decor with vintage/ retro itens. Small apartment with goth decor.
could you do a video about balconys? I want a moody combination of plants, privacy for sitting down and still some light for my living room while not being allowed to damage the outdoor walls.
People are going to do what they want with their things but I will say that I think painting old vintage furniture is quite upsetting. Furniture isn't really made that way anymore, so what we have left is what we have. Instead of ruining a perfectly good, timeless, beautiful piece of history, consider painting over something from Target or Ikea for example.
I've been searching for a video like this. I love it!. I live my myself in a apartment small actually and this is just what i needed. And this is truly Dark Academia🖤
I love the dark academia style most of all 🥰. I have 3 very dark grey walls in my bedroom and intend to paper the last wall in something similar to the design you showed with the black background, but I don’t know what to do with the ceiling. It’s white atm but needs to change, do you think I should I use the wall colour on the ceiling as well?
Thank you Steffi. really love the vintage sleeper sofa, however, would love it NOT to be a sleeper sofa as I would like it in my family room, do you know if they offer it? I couldn't find it at Wayfair. Thanks again. Cheers
I’m a retired equestrian who loves gothic flare so I think this style would be a great way to use some of my horsey memorabilia without going to the farmhouse/cottage core style. However I like a lot of natural light and think my space would be better suited for light Acadamia. Do you have any advice on light Acadamia?
I’ve seen some preppy/equestrian/old money rooms that look nice. Many of them have plaid fabric like throw pillows or comforters. My mom is an equestrian. She has lots of old inherited antique colonial furniture (grandfather clock, chairs, etc) paintings of horses, oriental rugs, a hall stand in the foyer to hang all her horsey stuff and put umbrellas etc. Just do what YOU like. Pintrest can help for inspiration and finding out what you like.
Thank you for watching! Do you incorporate any dark academia style elements in your space? How so? 🖤

I have a bust!
@ModaMisfit, where did you find that Medusa Bust? I'd love to get one!

Me too, it is challenging to do now I live in Australia!

It may be worth noting that busts are particularly fitting if they are pallid ones of Pallas.

I love Deco/Hollywood glam mixed with a bit of darker touches like in the show the Golden Age.

YESSSS

Wow, I never knew that’s what this is called. Where can I purchase that dark olive green velvet looking comforter on the bed from? TFS!!
My studio is small i want this in my bedroom and flowing through out .. can you shoe that
I really like this! I'd love to try this in my very small and cluttered bedroom! If I do, I will let you know!
Yay please do!
Hi Steffi! Loved his video on Dark Academia! Although not my style, some of the pieces shown were quite striking!
Yeah dark academia definitely is a striking statement!
I NEED TO KNOW where your black necklace(s) are from!!!
Always wait your vidio, and hope you upload everyweek... Really enjoy it...
Thank you!! I'm hoping to get back to the consistent weekly schedule. 😊 Just need to figure out how to balance everything!
I love this! I'm a bit obsessed with the rug you found, where can I find it? 😅
hey can you make a video about how can we achieve a dark academia look with light furniture (but not light academia) thanks xx

A Ralph lauren look would work
Beautiful styling! Is there a way to blend different dark decor? From the dark acadamia, dark woodsy/fairy, dark cottage core etc.
They are all very similar so it shouldn't be hard as they complement each other
What is the best way to get the dark when you can't paint
I love dark academia.I am gradually turning my Bedroom into one. My number one word to describe this type of style is "SEXY"
Lots of tall bookshelves
I hate the stupid trend of renaming old styles with cutesy names and pretending it’s a new thing.
