Studio Ghibli aesthetic is known worldwide for its enchanting, dreamy scenes that evoke a sense of nostalgia. In addition, the beautiful settings and interiors of these movies leave you wishing you could live in them. And with a ghibli inspired room, you just can. 

Rooms in Miyazaki movies are whimsical and comforting. The colourful interiors draw from various styles and also often feature natural elements and visible clutter. Moreover, the lived-in ambience of these rooms is an important part of the studio ghibli aesthetic. 

After extensive research, we have come up with 9 ideas to help you recreate iconic rooms from the ghibli universe. So, use these as a starting point to create aesthetic anime bedroom background uniquely suited to you.

Howl’s bedroom

Howl’s Bedroom from Howl’s Moving Castle is a bohemian dream come true. The maximalist room does not shy away from decor and is also filled with curiosities of every kind.

In addition, the decorative style gives a cosy vibe and feels like a room that has everything you could ever want - from books to plants and decor. It’s the perfect place for an introvert to shelter in!

Recreate the look of Howl’s bedroom with ornate wooden furniture and also accompany it with floral prints. To bring in the studio ghibli aesthetic, you can even choose a mossy green colour for your walls. Hang plants and any other decor items you love, but don’t forget to leave space to move around the room easily.

Like Howl, you can also choose to fill up most surfaces with books, vases, lamps, plants, and bejewelled accessories. Finally, complete the look by putting up mini fairy lights and Howl’s frying pan for a truly magical feel. 

Arrietty’s Bedroom 

Plant lovers will no doubt be mesmerised by Arrietty’s bedroom in ‘The Secret World of Arrietty’. For nature lovers, this is indeed the Studio Ghibli aesthetics to go for.

The room is a beautiful garden brought to life in a million shades of green, red, and yellow. Besides, it imparts the refreshing feel of being in nature and is a great place to destress and relax.

So, design yourself a room fashioned after Arrietty’s bedroom in a few simple steps. Start with a colour scheme of green and add red for a darker style, or yellow for a brighter look.

For a Studio Ghibli aesthetic wallpaper, consider wallpaper with a plant theme. In addition, place large houseplants to the room to recreate the characteristic look in your own style.

Items like a cute mushroom lamp and artificial plants nightlights can be helpful here. A green or deep brown rug will keep with this natural theme while making the room more comfortable.

Anna’s Bedroom

Anna’s clean and organised bedroom is one the easiest anime rooms to recreate, especially in a room with wooden floors.

The natural light and the calming room have a good mix of study and relaxation spaces. Hence, making it a popular choice for students who love anime style rooms. 

To give your room the Studio Ghibli aesthetic, first, start with a four-poster bed and a simple desk. If you love Anna’s bookshelf, consider also a custom one with a similar design. Otherwise, you can choose a modern tiered bookshelf for the purpose.

Next, you can soften the look of the bedroom with a printed rug and a round floor cushion. Look for a stained glass table lamp to decorate your desk, and also a paper lamp or two to hang in the bedroom. Use sheer curtains to let in sunlight, and DIY yourself a small tower of books to accessorise the space.

Marnie’s Bedroom

As a refined and beautiful Studio Ghibli aesthetic, Marnie’s room transports you back in time.

The room balances out the heaviness of the dark wood with lots of floral prints. It is also perfect for someone who wants a bit of a traditional, elegant look. 

This style also does a great job of making large spaces and attic bedrooms feel more inviting.

Bring this Studio Ghibli aesthetic to life with antique and preloved furniture pieces. For example, a secretary's desk and bookshelf work well. Use floral wallpapers and wooden wainscoting to recreate the look of the walls, or also simplify it with floral bedspreads, curtains, and a rug.

A small round table and chair can be made into a breakfast area. Alternatively, you can also make yourself a reading corner with a traditional bench or an armchair and a small side table by a window.

Accessorise the room with cushions, figurines, and artwork to complete the look. 

Tatsuo Kusakabe’s Study

Maybe a room filled to the brim with books appeals to the bookworm in you, or your study simply has more books and files than spaces to put them in. Whatever the reason, there’s no denying that Mr Kusakabe’s study has a strange Studio Ghibli aesthetic charm to it.

A room filled with bookshelves of every kind, this study from ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ is ideal for those who love the messy look. 

Try out this look by creating a few piles of books in the corner of the room. A tower bookcase can help create this look while keeping the books easily accessible.

Arrange the rest of the books on your work desk using a thin bookend to hold them in place. You can also choose to lean them against the wall, leaving space for your laptop or notebooks in front.

Add a rustic lamp to the desk, and framed paintings and photos on the walls. Introduce a coffee table and seating near the desk for breaks in between work.

Kiki’s Bedroom 

If you’re a fan of dark anime interiors, you’ll find yourself falling in love with Kiki’s dark and moody room.

The sombre room has a simple design that leans towards minimalism. The simplicity of the design makes it easy to keep the space neat and organised at all times without feeling cold and empty.

Make your room part of the Studio Ghibli aesthetic with a dark colour scheme. Paint your walls in Prussian blue or deep grey, and contrast it with a deep red chair or table.

While Kiki’s room is devoid of furnishings, there’s no reason to keep it that way. Create a moody and comfortable space with dark curtains and a floor cushion or two.

Use wooden planters to keep smaller items, and add some warm lighting and wall decor. Look for ottomans and storage benches to add hidden storage space in the room.

Jiro’s room

Jiro’s room in ‘The Wind Rises’ is a traditional Japanese bedroom that is beautiful in its simplicity. This Studio Ghibhli aesthetic is for those who love minimalistic design and open spaces.

The room design focuses on functionality, with just a desk and a small table taking up floor space. This design is ideal for a study or studio room that motivates you to get to work. 

Minimal furniture and a light colour scheme make the room feel larger than it is, and can be useful in small spaces.

Opt for a low table in pale wood to match the light colours of Jiro’s room. Instead of the tatami mats, consider a modern geometric rug with simple patterns and colours. 

Keep the table in the most pleasing part of the room, facing a window in the front or on the side. Create plenty of storage space around the room with wall hooks.

Add a pendant lamp or a table lamp for more light. Finally, bring in the iconic Studio Ghibli aesthetic by arranging groups of books around the room. 

Taku’s room

Ocean Wave's Taku has a room that is a well-organised bedroom and study, which takes you back in time.

The room makes space for a bed and dresser on one side, and a study table and large bookshelf on the other. A beautiful view frames this scene.

We think that Taku's bedroom is perfect for anyone who needs to work or study in their bedroom and likes to have clearly defined spaces.

Set up the room with your bed on one side and your desk on the other, ideally framing a window. If you don’t have a window, consider using wallpaper or painting a Studio Ghibli aesthetic scenery in the middle.

The room makes space for everything you’d ever need for craftwork, from a large work surface to drawers and organisers for every tiny item. 

The Studio Ghibli aesthetic of the room allows you to find your zen and enjoy the process. Who wouldn’t love to get crafty in a room like this?

Create your own ghibli inspired hobby or craft room with ideas from Sophie. 

Start with a large table that goes around the room. For example, a wall table with supports or a large L-shaped table can be used for this. Then, you can also use a mix of open and closed shelving under the table to create tons of storage space in the room. 

Add on to these with wall shelves and small organisers on the desk for the really small tools and supplies. A pinboard or pegboard on the wall can also be used to display and store more tools.
