Mosaic Art: The Perfect Addition to Your Dark Academia Aesthetic
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.
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.
Dark Academia isn’t just a home interior aesthetic. It is a whole subculture and a lifestyle in its own right. Once you walk into a Dark Academia-styled room, it quickly becomes clear that this style isn’t just about the look. It is about actually being curious, bold, and scholarly.
Because of all of the above, you can probably already see why mosaic art is the perfect fit for the Dark Academia aesthetic. It is timeless and eternal, just like everything Dark Academia incorporates, and it is always intricate and unusual, just like the vibe Dark Academia conveys.
Unlike with most other styles, contrasts won’t work with Dark Academia. This aesthetic is somber and melancholic, and the art that complements it should be exactly like that too. On that note, we’ve included some of our best mosaic artworks that would perfectly fit and accentuate your Dark Academia interior.
