A dark academia bathroom is moody and private: dark walls, a claw-foot tub and a mirror old enough to have a spot or two.

What a dark academia bathroom looks like

Walls in dark green or charcoal, or dark tile to shoulder height, surround a claw-foot tub with brass fixtures. A wooden washstand or antique dresser holds the basin under a gilt-framed mirror, and a small bookshelf or a stack of books sits beside the tub. The floor is black and white checkerboard or dark wood, and light comes from a brass wall sconce with a glass shade or a candle.

Try it on your own bathroom

Upload a photo of your bathroom, restyle it in Dark Academia, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. The tub, shower and toilet stay where the plumbing puts them; wall colour, vanity finish, mirror, fixtures and lighting are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • A gilt or antique mirror is the single most effective piece
  • Brass fixtures show up beautifully against dark walls
  • A book stand or a small shelf by the tub fits the theme
  • Use candlelight or dim sconces, since bright light kills the mood
