Similar to clothes, it seems like the internet finds a new home style they fall in love with. With the new school year many people are picking out decor for their dorms or small apartments. Decorating my dorm is one of my favorite things about moving in. It feels like I can bring a piece of me into this new environment. Having a space that you love definitely helps calm you down after a tough day.
Lately, the “black nouveau” aesthetic has reappeared in the homes of college graduates, and new homeowners. According to many TikToks, the style can be described by an Afro-Asian cultural fusion of prints, calligraphy, bold colors, and warm lighting.
Stores like Amazon and Urban Outfitters will be your main place for finding stable pieces. For smaller decor, I suggest going to places like Burlington, Dollar Tree, Ross, and HomeGoods!
Wall Fans
A common element being seen in this style are these big wall fans. They come in many colors and people usually style them by hanging it over their bed. These are mostly found on Amazon, however, they can be on the pricey side. You can find smaller ones at places like Dollar Tree. I think buying multiple small ones from Dollar Tree and covering a portion of the wall with them would be super cute!
Bedding
At the center piece of this style is the bedding. The bedding is mainly a deep, rich color that makes you want to lay in the bed forever. Urban Outfitters has mainly options for bedding and normally has sales for back-to-school. This bed set matched with the Amazon fan? Absolutely gorgeous! Pairing this duvet with satin sheets will help bring the look together too.
Beaded Curtain
I love an open layout, so a beaded curtain is a great way to keep the rooms separate but easy to access. This one from Amazon comes in many designs and sizes. A curtain could also be a great DIY option! You could buy your own curtain rod and beads if you want a specific pattern.
Lamps
The overhead light is the ban of every young person’s existence. Cute and small lighting is the way to go! This Modern Ostrich Feather Table Lamp is to die for and fits the black nouveau look perfectly. Stained glass, paper, and lotus style lamps also work! If none on Amazon fit your vibe, check places like Facebook market place and your local thrift store!
Like any style, customize this look to fit you! For example, I love animal print, especially leopard, so I would include that more. So, N Crowd, hop along and fill your space with this adorable look to start a bold new chapter!
