It seems that a unique and interesting new design style emerges every week, and every week designers and celebrities are going cuckoo over some new trend. The various options for different aesthetics are becoming increasingly boundless, and personal taste is now more diverse than ever.

Dark Academia aesthetic is all the rage at the moment.

Some of those so-called micro trends last for a couple of months and simply die down, while others have a timeless quality to them and seem to be here to stay. One of the latter trends is the Dark Academia aesthetic. This authentic trend seemingly draws design inspiration from the Renaissance period and it is usually described as gloomy and romantic, but there is much more to it than it might appear at first glance.

Dark Academia is an interior style steeped in literary nostalgia, romanticism, and most importantly, the academic elegance of classical architecture and arts. The style itself evokes imagery of foggy autumn days and haunted gothic mansions shrouded in mystery. It discreetly but irrevocably assumes a classic, yet darkly regal atmosphere, using rich colors and finely sophisticated decor as its main focus.
