Finally Light Macadamia!
😂🌰
You are nuts 🎉
Finally I have found a name for the style I’m trying to create in my summer house!!!
Vivien,nobody finds exact images to fit the narrative as you do,cheers!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Vivian. I Loved this! I took my time and watched it and paused repeatedly! This is so helpful and exactly what I needed to see right now. Please do one on french country styles. You totally made my day and gave me great ideas! 😊😊😊
I've never heard of Light Academia, so thank you for "enlightening" us. 🤭
I could listen to you read from a science journal or phone book. Your voice is so chef's kiss.
Your videos are sooooo wonderful and inspiring. Thank you for your humor and insight. Awesome!!
This is exactly MY style and now I know what to call it! 😂
Ohh the rooms you featured for this video are magnificent! 😍 I love the cozy vibe of the academia aesthetic, but my rooms would need touches of whimsy for me to truly feel at home. I'm a wood elf at heart. A little bit of magic and sparkle really helps balance the daily gloom of the world outside our door. 💖
I like the warmth and cozy feeling of this style. Lots of great ideas! Loved this! ❤
Great episode! You changed the channel name. No more Posh Pennies. Great to see an upload though.
Thank you once again Vivian! I always love your videos, even when the focus is not on my favourite styles. Thank you for helping me learn more about all things decor,architecture and design styles. ❤❤❤
This is sooooo much better than dark academia! Love it.
Yes, the dark is pretty but I couldn't live in it without feeling exhausted all of the time, and possibly a little depressed.
Funny, two more labels for traditional/victorian/english decor
yes yes yes 💖
Wow Vivien ❤❤❤. Academia all the way!!!!!
Thank you so much! Hope you are not bothered by rude people who have no life . I hate to see nasty comments. Nice video and well presented.
Wow you really know how to deconstruct a design style! Love it 😍
I loved this!!! Thank you!!!!
Very helpful very informative well done you really have that special gift to beautiful video and loaded with useful information for an interior designer much love and appreciation ❤️✨
Love, Love, Love! Great representation!
Beautiful! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Your videos are very informative.
Love, love, love the images used in this video, and I think this may be one of my most favorite design styles. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and tips!
Oehh im excited to see
Love the new channel name. I think the change fits the growing direction of your content ❤
You showed me my style. Thank you
Gorgeous!
Love this so much! ❤
Nice! Thank you. I'm trying Planta too.
Thank you
Lovvvvved❤
Thank you . L loved your video.
Oh so THAT'S what I've got! I wasn't 'decorating.' i just have lots of Books (not Props - I use them) and Plants and Lamps and Statues and Brass Candlesticks and pale colors And an antique Typewriter. Just kinda assembled itself.😊
Hi there, I am an aquascaper and I have a few fish tanks, where would you suggest placing fish tanks around the living room in a house with mid century modern furniture?
Better slideshow than some I've seen BUT bare walls OK if going for the Dead Poet's minimal dorm room accurate look.
I would say florals work less good than argyle if we're being strictly square or whatever...
Most people won't have tons of authentic antique leather-bound books now, either, even if they do have 20 foot high ceilings and built-in bookshelves for their reading cave?
Yeah, I HAD the encyclo set that may still be in family proximity if they kept somewhere?
As soon as you bought them is when the teachers at school started telling you that they could not be used for essay paper sources..................
Love some of these. I think I’ll try for “Medium Academia”… ??
😂
Great video… side note, if you don’t mind sharing, where is your statement Pearl necklace from? Also looks great on you. Thx
How can i mix these aesthetic’s gracefully?
Living by the sea side hot humid climate need ideas to make home the opposite and relaxing 😅
lol can we switch places? 🤪
@@PoshPennies love to🤫😊
❤❤❤❤❤
This seems to mean, having enough bookcases and fill them with books. (To be fair, one tends to never have quite enough book shelves
So a big book case with lots of books and a sofa?
Light academia is the way large libraries have always looked. The reason dark academia became a thing is because libraries normally look like this video. What am I missing?
My only comment isn’t directed at Vivian but about the style itself. Wow, I would hate to have to do the housekeeping; the rooms/houses are huge and loaded with so much “stuff”!!!!
So basically an upper middle / upper class living room and formal library. Rich people's homes. It would be so refreshing to see these concepts in a regular modest home with 8 foot ceilings, only one loungeroom space where the family gathers which is integrated into an open plan space. Does a modest bookshelf with 95% books and 5% decor, count as light academia? No second study/library room, sitting room, living room etc.
Rich people? I know middle class with all of the above, including my family. You mean a smaller house. Yes a bookshelf and little space for decor is still Academia. Can be done in smaller scales for smaller spaces.
@@vaderladyl A medium 5 foot bookshelf with books does not make an interior academia. 'Light academia' is just a new term for Traditional.
@@mariastathopoulos744 yes, I know this lame label is just a rebranding for traditional style, and when you have very little room, even a bookcase can count as Academia, which goes with the the main item of the style, books. Besides, Academia is not even a true decor style but more of a lifestyle, the way academics live, and was never an aesthetic but a byproduct of the life of an academic that reflected on their living arrangements.
I understand the idea of providing a lighter version of the dark academia theme but recirculating the victorian theme is just so 40 years ago. Personally I'd prefer something more along the Japandi / mid-century style. Its more contemporary and easily doable. It'll also become a new classic style in a few years
Victorian and Academia are both classic. Both have been around since forever and will continue to be styles that people like. Japandi is nice and is just a mix of two other classic styles, Scandinavian and Japanese. People can have whatever they like and that is ok.
So, by inventing a new name which is quite vague and doesn't really describe anything, you can tell everyone how to decorate in ways that have been there all along, just quietly, without a fuss. But now, YOU can claim to be some sort of expert on it and make money out of your vague misunderstandings of other people's cultural norms. Please, go and travel to Europe, see real places. Don't just exist in a stage set.
Wow, slagging off on someone who is giving encouragement and offering ideas to someone who is considering a new look but may not know where to start and may be overwhelmed or confused. Sounds like a nice walk outside might be a good idea for the harsh judgemental attitude. I hope you have a better day than the one your comment made this woman feel.
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed lol
@lokisfriend ....FYO Vivien was born in the UK and went to school in Italy, where she got her degree. Don't know about you, and I don't care, but you sound like an ass. Have a wonderful day
imagine feeling threatened by a home library lol, that's terrific
I don't need to travel to Europe; I live there and I enjoyed the video.
Light academia = traditional.
