Light Academia Room Makeover 🤍📚🕯
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Welcome my light academics, this is for you 🤍🕯🕰
Also, why do I look like a total crazy person trying to fit this aesthetic? 😂 Anyways!
In this video I will be showing you how I turned my Dark Academia room into a Light Academia room. I created my space with the intentions of keeping it just as moody and academic as DA but with a lighter color palette and some vintage, victorian accents.
⚠️PSA: The candles in this video were lit for filming purposes only and I do not advise you to light your candles in the same way! Please opt for flameless candles (I listed the ones I use below) but If you do choose to light candles in your home please do it safely, never keep them unattended or near flammable items such as books, sheets, ect. ⚠️
P.S. I cant paint or put holes in my walls so I'll also be showing you how I create an accent wall for $4 that is damage free. Hope you all love what I came up with!

Light academia is by far my favorite aesthetic. I look at dark academia as being relatively specific, but light academia seems to have a little more room for interpretation; it's broader. I love what you did with your rental space! Bravo! One of my favorite elements is the map 🤩
Picnic at Hanging Rock is literally THE embodiment of Light Academia for me, especially the eerie and atmospheric movie. I always get inspired by it when it comes to LA. Don't care about the show tho. The book and the 70s movie are where it's at.👌🏻
I’m looking this up!!!
Thanks for the recommendation!!
@@justlanchen You're very welcome. Coincidentally the director Peter Weir directed both this movie and Dead Poets Society.
Creepy movie!
Very creepy movie.
3:19 If I had to pick inspiration from a book for Light Academia, I would choose A room with a view by E.M. Forster (also the 1980s film version with Helena Bonham Carter would be a great visual inspiration!). When I think in Dark Academia vs. Light Academia, the first seems to draw inspiration on British manors and colleges (also New England colleges), while the second one seems more classical Mediterranean inspired, something along the lines of taking the Grand Tour to Italy to expand your education visiting the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence or strolling around Villa Borghese in Rome.
You’re so right, that is actually a really good description and visual inspiration 🤍
My sitting room is decorated with a William Morris wallpaper and dark green paint but I also change things in summer to lighten it by using cream curtains instead of burgundy lighter throws and cushions and decor pieces etc inspired a lon time ago by my late mother in law who had green velvet curtains in winter and floral ones in summer ( 50 year ago ! ) 🥰
Why isn’t your channel more popular it’s literally perfect
Keep going I love your videos
🥺🤍 thank you, that is so sweet of you to say. Thanks for being here
Beautiful job. I always like dark academia. Even thought I am a light spirit person. I am going to try this for my bedroom. Thanks for the inspiration.
Everything is quite lovely, and well put together. The paper doilies, on the other hand, r aesthetically deficient because they appear quite harsh at a simple glance. They clash with yer otherwise superb taste in yer overall decor. The placing of books facing forward rather than with the spines on display, or even music pages scattered around, implies profound studying. The fact that u chose 2 put the sheet on the wall in reverse really accentuates texture and interest as well as a conversational piece. U have done quite well. Congrats.
Just wanted to add a quick PSA about the use of candles in this video.
I am in no way advising anyone to light candles in the way I choose to in my video. Candles were lit strictly for my shots and were blown out after.
If you do choose to have candles in your home opt for flameless candles (this is what I use day to day) and if you do choose to have real candles, Please use with caution, do not leave candles unattended at anytime and keep them away from anything flammable.
You did a beautiful job of the transformation from dark to light. The favorite elements are how you stacked the books to elevate the mirror! Great idea! Also your LA shirts are lovely and capture that look really well! Congratulations on your new space!
I loved that book stacking too!!! It made the desk look so much cooler but I definitely need to get the perfect mirror still. Thanks so much for the lovely feedback 🥰🥰🥰
Wow, I'm loving your Light Academia aesthetic!🤍🖤🤍 Very romantic! Back in the Day (early 80's) I loved Duran Duran's "new romantic" look.... I'm old! I love your enthusiasm & your patience in curation of the great thrifted finds!🗝️
What a contrast, wow! It is very nice to see such thorough illustration of the differences between DA and LA:) thank you for your work:)
Thanks for checking out my video🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍 so happy you enjoyed it
I didn't think I could love your room even more after the Dark Academia room makeover but you've done it. The map with the bust is absolutely gorgeous!
Omg thank you!!!! I’m so happy you like it!! I was honestly unsure what people would say but it warms my heart it speaks to you🥰🥰 p.s. that’s a Harry potter wizarding map 😂
Perfect timing for this video! I have been itching to change out my room to something lighter for spring. I love the idea of using a patterned sheet to cover a wall. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Omg yay!!! So happy it found you it in good timing!! 🥰🥰 let me know how you change up your room :) I’d love to hear what decor you get!
Totally agree with you, thrifting is the way to go! It feels extra special decorating your space with already loved items and giving them a second life. Affordable and good for the environment too 💗 your room turned out beautifully!
Exactly!!! I get such a thrill when I thrift good pieces 🥰🥰
THE CANDLES NEXT TO THE SHEET ARE GIVING ME SO MUCH ANXIETY LMAO
Honestly same! Hahah I had them decently far away from the wall though I swear
Es increíble como cambió la atmósfera y la energía de un estilo a otro🤎ambos maravillosos por supuesto🥰🤍estoy encantada tanto con D.A y L.A🤎🤍Querida Lanchen debes saber que tú hermosa energía es la esencia de cada remodelacion🤎eres realmente una inspiración🤍
im doing my whole house as the academia aesthetic. some rooms light, some dark. kitchen is gonna be cottagecore. This was great inspo. thank you!!!
omg no way!!! i wanna see!!!
@@justlanchen lol I think I’ll start a channel once the house is finish being built this summer ☺️ I’ve already started thrifting lol!
I kinda feel like this is a mix of light academia and coquet
Aside: I have those sheets! They've been in the family since the mid 1980s! So fun to see them on a wall and without the 80s connotation.
Every time I see one of your videos, I discover you have this incredible ability to transport me into a new realm.
I see you enchanting us, the viewers of your channel, like if you were the protagonist of this amazing world full of mystery, poetry, beauty and adventure.
You are the epitome of a “walking human-poem” in this pollute and mundane world because you fill us with such a magic only you own.
I admire you so much Lanch, ❤
oh my heart. My heart is full from your kindness. I'm so happy you love my work 🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍
Omg it was so amazing really magical✨✨✨
Thanks so much!
Such a beautiful turn out!! 😍 It’s a lovely mix of light, cozy yet still moody! Lots of great inspiration..Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much love!!! Happy you liked it 🥰🥰
I loved your dark academia makeover gave me so much ideas to help transform the rooms I'm doing in our house. You did a great job on this one as well. I might have to change our during the spring and summer time. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you!!!! Yea give it a go, you can always switch back :)
Nice to see you gain subs , basically the way to explain everything makes it all so much pleasant and even attracts people to your channel who don't have much idea about your content 😀, keep posting good content 😀
🥺🤍 thank you
@@justlanchen welcome 😁
Can you please do something of the Shire themed in future? Like the Hobbiton? I'd love to see that. If only you are comfortable with that of course. At this point, your decoration is the only decoration that matches exactly to how I imagine things so I'd love to see something of the Shire themed.
P. S. And this decoration is amazing might I add!!
I WOULD TOTALLY DO THIS! It would be an absolute dream to have a room or a house like that 😍😱 I’ll start making a Pinterest board and see what I can come up with. I wonder if anyone has done that before
Absolutely stunning. A perfect room to rejuvenate after a long dark winter.
Thanks so much love 🥰🥰🥰
I just found your channel and I'm OBSESSED. You have inspired me to redo my bathroom into DA/ Goth. I say goth because i'm in vet med and I have a bunch of creepy specimens and bones and stuff that I want to display as well. Im so excited and I just wanted to say thank you!
That would fit perfectly!! And because DA is about academics being in The medical field and displaying your work is perfect!
You deserve more subscribers! Your content is sooo good I love the transformation! ❤❤❤
Youre so sweet 🤍🥺 thank you!! I’m happy you enjoyed the end result🥰🥰🥰
I'm really enjoying your videos. I like that you hung a sheet on the wall. I hung a lace tablecloth above my bed. The use of book pages is subline. Yes, the right music really sets the scene. I like to play Gregorian chants.
Since you said you didn’t have anything specific to reference when coming up with a light academia themed room, I always envision some take on Leonardo da Vinci’s studio. Very bright and warm, with the workspace element making the organized chaos actually work. Good vid!
Another stellar video! I especially love that mirror, accent wall, and Harry Potter map. You’ve given me so much inspo! Sending love, light, and all the positive vibes your way❤️✨☺️
Thank you so much I’m really happy that you like it 🥰🤍🌸🕯
Yeah you nailed it! This is an amazing video and amazing transformation. Awesome job!!
Thanks so much lovely 🤍🥰
this video was just what i needed! saw your dark academia room makeover and loved it and started to incorporate elements in my my room but wanted it to be lighter and more airy like light academia
Yay!! So happy this is perfect for you!! I knew I wouldn’t be the only one to find good use of this 🤍🥰
I actually love the black mirror. The whole room is perfect and you look beautiful-especially that blouse. I'll be looking for more of your videos.
Your videos are SO inspiring, and your room turned out beautifully 🤍🕯️🏹 can't wait for you to get the recognition you deserve 🍂 xx
I’m so happy you liked it!!! You’re so kind, thank you🥺🤍
Wow, i’m in love. My all time fave aesthetic, this is absolutely my dream room. STUNNING 🤍
So happy you like it!!! You should do this to your space!! It was so easy🥰
Love it! So beautifully done ☺️
Thank you!!!
Very inspiring presentation! Thank you, from those of us who are absolutely enthralled by learning, books, collections and all of the wonderful academia antiquity aesthetics!!! The most creative and fun thing of life is to curate aged items of beauty that give one joy. Further, the journey of curating beloved treasures on a budget gives one's life a very special inner meaning!!!
Love it! Great watching you evolve! #lightacadamia is perfect for #spring and #summer! Loved how you flipped the books! Great idea! The sheet was a great way to change an entire wall color too! So, much easier than painting and not committal! Bravo! #🙌
Thank you for the positive feedback 🥰🥰🤍🤍🌸🕯
Amei toda a decoração do quarto, o video, seu estilo, tudo perfeito! ♥
Some of your newer pieces like the statues can be aged out with antiqueing wax or watered down black paint. Also you can age your book pages with steeped tea. I love your space. SO PRETTY
I just purchased my Forever Home and Light Academia as an aesthetic is the definition of allI yearn to be surrounded by. Thank you for this highly motivating video. An Academic cottagecore look is my ultimate goal. 📚
WOW, I love how it turned out. I just noticed that in the candlelight it looks more like dark academia than light academia. Still love it!🥰🥰
So glad I found your channel. I'm having way too much fun catching up on your videos. You have encouraged me to look around and change things to fully enjoy my surroundings. Thank you!
omg this makes me so happy!!1
Very lovely! 🤩
Love this so much! Love the academia aesthetic and many of the substyles
Thank you 🥺🥺🥺 so happy you like my content and this video🥰 def make your room LA, you will love it!
Just a tip. You can make fabric adhere to a wall temporarily by applying liquid starch to the fabric and pasting it in the wall. It is removable and doesn't damage walls
wait what! I did not know this. does it wash out of the fabric afterwards?
im TOTALLY DOING THIS. thank you for that awesome tip
@@justlanchen it does wash off
The wall is stunning and I wouldn't have thought that a construction like this with the tape holds so well 😊. And I love the white blouse with the lace 😍 somebody having a tip where to get one like this?
Вау, так красиво и атмосферно получилось!
Brilliant!
great job and it is inspiring! I already have a ton of the decor items.
thank you! happy to hear you have what you need 🥰
So lovely 🌹 that's the vibe of my house too
Oh no way!!! I wish I could see it!!
Yes, this felt more Jane Austin than Harry Potter! I love both , well done 🧙♀️🧙♀️
That sounds like the perfect mix!
Simplemente hermoso!!!
🤍🤍🤍🤍
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Love the room. Thank you for sharing. Just subscribed.
omg thank you for being here bb💋💋💋
It really looks nice!:)
Thank you 🥰🫶
Really pretty! 💖 i think of LA as the enlightenment era & DA as romanticism :)
I really like that the somber lighting from candles being placed around the room brought. but at the same time watching them so close to fabrics made me nervous thinking they might catch on fire.
also, its just a preference, but i would only keep books that you have read or have genuine interest interest in reading. it would speak about your personality more, even if they are not vintage, or have beautifull hard cover, or have pictures of places you haven't really been to. It just ended up being too "costumey" and less purposeful/ authentic. one tip I would give is actually use everything in your room, that includes reading those books, using those fountain pens to write letters regularly so they naturally fall where they be based on how convenient and practical they are to your every day use. or else it just ends up feeling like they are just knickknacks collecting dust, and honestly they will become boring and would loose interest to you cause they only serve as novelty items you bought off amazon. Then again, I can't blame you, you have this lay out to showcase and present this as a form to showcase to your youtube audience. Live the "light-dark-academia" life style, not just show it, you will naturally add purpose and authenticity to those things around you.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I loved the hanging sheet so much. I wonder if you could briefly explain how you used the safety pin and the Alien tape to hang the sheet? I am guessing the pin goes through the sheet and then is taped to the wall but it wasn't close up enough to see exactly how. Thanks!
Wow... I have tears in my eyes?
Omg 🥹
Your film production skills are immaculate!
thank you🥺🥺🥺🥺🤍☺️
Your room looks beautiful! I like it both before and after, but it's true that the LA style gives it a special, airier feel. Also, I LOVE your floral blouse and the lace blouse at the end. Where did you get them?? If they were thrifted, would they happen to still have the brand label inside so we could check them out? (And, sorry if you mentioned it in the video, but if you did I didn't manage to catch it! My bad :) )
New subscriber, love your videos!
🥹🥹omg thank you so much
Love it
Thank you!!
Love the sheet
So creative hanging the sheet in place of wallpaper. I believe those were Safety pins not Bobby pins but definitely easy to get the names mixed up. Great job!
Haha yea I’ve been corrected 😅 Aw welllll but yea I’ve done it in multiple rooms and it’s a great way to not ruin your walls and switch up the feel of it
This was so freakin amazing!!!!
Thank you loveeeee
@@justlanchen you’re welcome my dear!! 💕🌸✌️
My anxiety took a spike when you took the candle near the bookshelf😅
Nice video 🤍
That came out so lovely & I like her glasses! 👓
thank you 🤍🤍🤍
@@justlanchen where are your glasses from? love it!
Very beautiful.
I do like it.
I think you did an amazing job, especially for the money you spent. If you ever want to splurge, get an old English oil painting for your gallery wall. 👍
Loved this! ❤ I watched it because my daughter told me that my bedroom is light academia and I didn’t know what that meant ☺️ but I do have lots of battery-operated timbered candles to keep me on track time wise, hardbound books, pa paperblanks journals, beige walls, raw silk curtains with sheets underneath. The only thing I don’t get is the books being reversed because I just have to have the spines visible. It would drive me nuts to not see the book titles or the lovely ornate spines of my journals. Okay now I have to check out your dark academia video because I know nothing about it either.
Loved it!!!! Who knows! We probably, as God’s children have different needs or tendencies, according to what we were created for. This should have to see the tendency we have in our tastes and which ambiances cradle us better. So pretty your room! Congrats! Enjoy!
Your content is amazing.
omg thank you Hilton!!
I like what you did. I really like the sheet as wallpaper. I also have a king size sheet as wall paper. Please Turn The Books Around to show the spines. It is simply not necessary to hide them. Many antique academic books are dark. That's OK.
I wish there was a medium academia, I can’t decide between dark and light-
haha omg youre going to die, there is actually gray academia 😅😅😅 look it up😂
@@justlanchen how come nobody told me this before???? Thanks lol
まるで映画のワンシーンのようです
すごく美しいです❤️
Thank you for pronouncing "academia" correctly! ❤
I really love this!! And by the way your really pretty but I actually wanted to ask where you got your books from. Are they from a thrift store, did you just buy it on amazon or just from a book store?
My pretty ones are from bookoutlet.com and the rest I’ve thrifted in person or on eBay
You've probably changed your room again by now as this vid is a year old but I wanted to tell you that 1, it looks amaze & 2, to knock that bright white look out of the paper doilies you can soak them in tea then let dry & it gives them an aged effect (like old book pages) ♥
Where did you get that copy of Jane Eyre!?
Bookoutlet.com for $7.50!
Next time you could iron the wall sheet for a neater appearance. You know our light academians like to be neat
I only had a steamer :(
When you started cutting your book my brain went Michael Scott and started yelling “please God no God please no… NOOOOOOOO”
Dark Academia = Victorian Man LIBRARY / OFFICE
Light Academia = Victorian Women Style HOME ❤
Safety pin. Bobby pins are for hair
😅😅😅😅
I want to do this but I am addicted to having lamps. Do you think it would look ok? I love love your makeover!!!
Yes of course!
where did you get your steamer from?
Hi,
Quick question, would you mind sharing the width of your desk. It looks perfect but every time I look for one they all seem too wide. I’m looking for something thinner like yours. Please let me know if possible. Thank you!
Maybe it would be useful to look for console tables?
Yes you got it right it’s a console table!!
Mine is 15 inches wide and 51 inches in length. It’s called a console table, you can also look up writing desks as well, they are the same size.
They are the perfect option in small spaces and look so aesthetic 🥰🥰
@@dariazhukovska9207 thank you 💖💖
@@justlanchen thank you so much! 💖💖
For my opinion it is very important to actually LIVE in this space and using all the items instead of staging it to look great....like in a museum or theatre, You know what I mean. I live such a sort of "light academia" long before there was a term for it. (I frankly do not understand why nobody speaks about this very english and european old style which was long before an aestethic!?) Maybe it os worth a video? ;-) Nice regards!
I think I just want to feel like I’m living in a theme park surrounded by sets 😅 I have a problem haha
But you are right! It very much traditional and classic interiors which are timeless. A video on that might be a good idea!
So apparently cornstarch mix with water will allow fabric to stick to walls without ruining the sheet or the wall. Create the mixture then soak your sheet in the solution. Spread the sheet out over the wall and using the same solution dip your wide paint brush in the cornstarch/water mixture and smooth out the sheet, as it dries it will stick to the wall.
I believe this is an old technique military wives would use that moved from place to place and didn’t have time or permission to make changes to rentals.
Hufflepuff heaven...📜✒️💛🐈🪄📖🪴
Oh putting books with pages out would drive me insane..sorry. We’ve so many books, one room a dedicated library and music room, but the study and other rooms still have bookcases. Over the years it’s become one of the things that drives me crazy when I can’t find a given text. There’s just something about real books collected over time. Computing resources and microscopes are great but sort of intrusive. Yeah Im a long time university academic! Love some of your ideas, some really take me back. I still miss the old college university library and stacks at work, they now sometimes seem too clinical having lost a traditional atmosphere! Though there are still unique time capsules in the older U.K. universities. if you know where they are.
Someone told me to add more mirrors to make a room seem larger
oh yes they were right!
In my old apartment I had 4, 8ft mirrors that I lined in my living room to make it feel larger and bring it more light! I wish I still had them 😭
Now how will you know which book is which or you do not read books?
I LOVE your Victorian shirt!Did you thrift it or did you make it yourself?
i got it from a clothing swap!!
That is awesome!Was it a themed clothing swap?I have never been to a clothing swap that sounds interesting 😊
@@getexposed9072 haha no not themed but the people who came worked in wardrobe for tv, ect. So I really lucked out getting some good pieces 😅
@@getexposed9072 you can find them on Facebook! It’s free, you just bring stuff to trade
@@justlanchen ok I will have to check into that sounds like alot of fun!Thank you🙂
Didn’t you just make a British country cottage style with candles? Loved your explanations here.
Can you show the whole room instead of closeups of different areas?
Ugh I wish. I moved awhile ago and at the time I only had a portrait lens.
I shot in this room for sometime though and got a wide lens later, in my DA day writing video you see a lot more of it.
ruclips.net/video/lflFt-zb0Z0/видео.html
Your room looks gorgeous, but the sheet on the wall can produce mold. If I was you, I would look for removable wallpaper and do only one accent wall.
