Embrace the elegance and collegiate charm of Light Academia with these Amazon decor finds.  Images from Amazon.com. Click the links below to view or purchase. 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! Images from Amazon.com. Click the links below to view or purchase.

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!
