This is a thing. It supposedly started on TicTok in 2020. There is also academia music and art, but so far I have only discovered the fashion and home decor. You can find plenty of descriptions of this thing online, but to me it seems like a cross between Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes vibes. Since one picture is worth a thousand words, I will just post the pictures, and you can imagine yourself in these locations, dressed like this and doing these things, I suppose that is what it is for.
The standard room seems to include floor to ceiling bookshelves, complete with ladder, obligatory fireplace, comfy chair, and reading lamp behind it, although it is impossible to tell if these are floor lamps or on a hidden table. Velvet is a particular female fantasy I have run into before, especially green velvet couches, but personally I should think leather easier to keep clean, plus I like the smell and the feel. The globe lights are also nice, and very turn-of-the-century. Some of the spindle-like turned furniture looks sort of colonial, to me it is too delicate to really fit in. I thought I had Mark Twain's place in there, but I don't see it now.
Not sure how to characterize the clothing -- wide lapels, lots of wool and leather, and those pleats that only look good on the very young and very thin. Jackets are also long enough to cover the butt, which is really hard to find irl, they need to bring that one back.
