Answer

Styling a dark academia palette involves using deep, warm neutrals such as forest greens, rich browns, and charcoal grays. Paint built-ins and walls in these tones, mix vintage and thrifted furniture pieces, and add layered lighting like chandeliers and semi-flush fixtures to evoke warmth. Include personal artifacts like books or unique collectibles to create an old-world, scholarly atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting.
