Overall aesthetics: This aesthetics mostly focuses on classical literature, the pursuit of self-discovery, vintage objects, the pursuit of learning and knowledge, and history. It’s heavily inspired by European architecture and culture from the 19th century and Greek arts

Key colors: mainly earthy, muted tones such as forest or sage green, dark brown, beige, white, cream, dark orange, gold, and burgundy

Wall decor: 

Insect display case - this decoration is in my opinion very aesthetically pleasing and resembles dark academia. You may have exposed butterflies and moths, or other beetles and insects…

Vintage picture frames 

Old maps and newspaper cutouts 

Astrology tapestry 

Old fashion clocks 

Picture collage with vintage pictures, poems, and book pages

Any scientific sketches of botany or zoology 

Gold framed mirrors

Furniture and ornaments: the older and dustier the better. It’s important to have furniture with dark wood tones

Dark wooden study desk

Drawer cabinet

Old chair

Bookshelves

Old desk lamps, bankers or piano lamp

Vintage suitcase/briefcase

Clothing rack - you want to display your clothes

Books, books, and books - keep them everywhere

Greek busts

Gramophone/record player

Typewriter

Lantern

Globe

Dried plants, leaves, and/or vines

Plant in a birdcage 

Hourglass or stopwatch

Candles and candlestick holders - you can use vintage candlestick holders or wine glasses  

Some small accessories:

Vintage trinkets - some small thrift trinkets or collectible items

Chess set

Stationery set

Quill and ink

Leather-bound journal

Vintage film camera

Crystal liquor bottles

Vintage tea set - if you love coffee or tea you wanna have some nice looking cups to drink from

Armillary sphere

Magnifying glass - you won’t probably use it but it’s a really nice thing to have a display

Candle snuffer

Compass

Art supplies - if you’re an artist don’t be afraid to show your art supplies. Have your brushes, pencils, and paints exposed on your desk or even have an art corner with everything there

happy decorating!!
