I want a pink setup because it’s really cute but the rest of my decor is fully dark academia, I worry if I don’t use the same aesthetic for my setup it might look tacky. (Also I don’t have a office so it would literally be in the middle of old books and stuff)
This is the desk I want to buy

I have that desk for my setup and I like it
Who cares tho? You want it? Get it! I think it’s lovely 🙂
If it makes you happy nothing else matters
Pink is a great color. If you love it, get it!
If you feel it will be gaudy against your dark academia setting, you may try to transition to a pastel academia aesthetic or make the desk match the dark academia furniture and hardware/accessories and other desk decor pink.
My life has significantly changed for the better/cuter since I decided pink is a neutral. This setup looks fucking great! No gaming setup will look entirely cohesive with dark academia decor, so IME it’s better to lean into the contrasts and embrace them.
Honestly gwt whatever you want BUT if you are really worried, get a desk that blends in a little better but keep all your pink accessories.
Nooo! This is adorable, I love it.
White and pastel academia exist! Add some pastel flowers and bright accents to your room and then add dark decor to the pink setup, so the room transitions to one area to the other and they mix (hope I’m explaining myself correctly).
Go with what you like, who cares what anyone thinks. I got my desk in browns, blacks, and golds, to match all the art in my room.
This is your sacred space. You really should make it whatever you’re feeling, you know? It shouldn’t matter what others think. Who knows, it might filter out a few bad friends out if they ever see it and can’t help but make disparaging comments because it doesn’t fit their own vibe.
The pink setup is really cute! But I get your worries about how it might not fit in with your space. Some things to consider: is your desk space separate from your other spaces, or is it possible to set it up so it’s in a separate area (screen, divider, curtain, etc)? Then the pink area is like a fun surprise. If it’s going to be visible from main areas that are dark academia, then the bubble gum vibes might have to be toned down. Can you get a big chonky desk and chair that looks straight out of The Secret History, and then add pink accents? Dark green and light pink are a really fun combo. If there are ways to make your setup look Serious from the main space and Fun while you’re using it, like your headset/controller/accessories are pink, or your keyboard lights up pink, then it can kinda flip back and forth. Just some ideas off the top of my head! Also, it’s your space so you can do whatever you want, so prioritize what will make you happiest.
as someone w a pink set up, i def think u should get something that u can work around w any color. u may one day end up wanting to change things up and not want the pink anymore. it’s a cute desk! i have the same one in white and i love it. at the end of the day, get what u want. but it doesn’t hurt to consider the long term 🙂
Get white, then add elements of pink!
I kinda sectioned off my space, so that each type of interest has its own area.
HP, Disney, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Sailor Moon, Pokémon, Mario…etc. I do have them set up so that they kinda flow in a way that makes sense to me.
I think you can make just about anything work with the right transitional colors. But honestly, whatever makes you happy is what you should do! When you look at your space and smile, you know it’s perfect!!!
I just ordered that same desk! 🤣 I’m excited to set it up tomorrow I was thinking of doing a pink and green set up ✨️
Pink is cute. Its only tacky if YOU think its tacky. If you like it, then its not :3
What do you mean?? This setup is cute asf
WHERE IS THE DESK FROM I
maybe mix in some black to give it pastel goth vibes so it blends into the dark academia?
I love it :)) not tacky
Oh I love this I want it :3
Ngl, I want that desk.
Nah you love your life and get your pink desk
I have this desk! It’s really pink, but I love it. My only nitpick is it shows your fingerprints lol. If you’re not sure whether you would like it I would consider getting a different color desk.
Lmfao I literally bought this for our camper RV.. It fits perfecrly! And, yes.. We’re glampers. 😂
This looks great!! I would be so jealous of you if I walked in your place and saw this
Do it! My wife loved her pink peripherals.
Defo not too tacky
Never have you seen steel magnolias “pink is my signature color” she says! Pink is the best! Do it!!!
It’s cute af! Do what makes you happy
I think pink could be complimentary with the dark academia aesthetic. If you’re worried about the setup being *too much* start with the desk and go from there, but don’t hesitate just because it’s pink!
Pink is so cute if you want a more calm color I would do white and add a pop of pink if you want they match beautiful ❤️😍
I’ve got a light brown desk but my tower and accessories are pink. I’m sure you can mix and match to make it work the way you want
this is my dream setup. I have a lot of pink and it looks super cute! if you like it, go for it. Where did you find the desk btw?
I would do white and then have pink accents so that if you want in the future you can change it up
Do it, can’t go wrong with cute shit like that honestly!
I have dark wood furniture mixed with white Ikea shit in my room and pink decor and bedding. Is it cohesive? Nope. Is it tacky? I don’t think so. I planned to flip the dark furniture to white so I ended up with a “shabby chic/cottagecore meets Ikea because I’m poor and need desk space” aesthetic, but I can’t gather enough spoons to start.
Personally, I think a pink desk would clash even more than the white with the dark wood. With a white desk and pink accents, you would get a similar vibe and the difference between your decor and your office nook wouldn’t be as jarring.
Not at all! Go for what you want to do, girl!
As someone who also has a pink and white aesthetic for her room, I personally find it cute.
