Soft Textures, Flash Moments: How the DigiCam Aesthetic Can Be Reflected in Your Room
Are you feeling nostalgic? Do you miss the old days when your parents would take pictures of you with their digital cam? Or maybe you want to bring back the old Y2K style that you were made fun of as a kid for?
If that description matches what you’re feeling right now, then keep on reading about the digicam aesthetic.
The digicam aesthetic can often be associated with the nostalgic trendy styles of the early 2000s, such as the Y2K style, Harajuku style, or the Kawaii style. Of course this doesn’t include the sub-categories of each style that harmonise together to create a perfect digicam aesthetic that teleports you back in time.
There’s also of course the connotation of digicam being related to the early 2000s Japanese horror games, specifically Fatal Frame or Silent Hill. But we’re not here to discuss the darker stuff, we’re here to focus on the lightness and softness of the digicam aesthetic, the part of life that makes you feel at glee when looking back at your childhood.
When thinking about combinations that will fit the digicam aesthetic, we tried a few different combinations from picnic-core to cottagecore to y2k core. Sometimes, it's also about harmonizing these three styles to maximize the digi-cam experience. Without further discussion, keep reading to learn about how you can turn your room to be digicam aesthetic worthy.

Snapshots of Playtime: DigiCam and My Childhood
Let’s go back to the earliest moment captured in our digicam: playtime and childhood. During these days we’re often full of energy, finding bright colourful things, the most beautiful thing our eyes have set upon. As a child, the digicam aesthetic consisted of maximalising the colours we used plus the patterns involved in it. The messier and the louder, the better the digicam aesthetic is. Even if it did look bad when we look back on it, that doesn’t mean we can’t optimise it to best show the digicam aesthetic.
We recommend these things to keep in mind for the digicam aesthetic:
Red and pink colours
Heart patterns
Stripped patterns
Playful items/patterns
In this way, we keep the childhood digicam aesthetic as something playful and energetic. It’s important to note that for this specific category, we think about the playfulness of our times as a child as it keeps together that early 2000s core of the digicam filter.

Documenting Friendship: Digicaming my Adolescence
The adolescence stage in our life can often be dubbed as awkward, even weird at times, but it doesn’t always have to be so. When thinking about what significance the digicam aesthetic may have during our adolescence, one of the first things that come to mind are the friendships that we nurture.
Throughout our lives we meet close to more than three million people, and yet only a handful of them stay throughout our lives, perhaps even in our digicam. Friendship, although not entirely an aesthetic, is what makes the digicam experience so memorable. We remember the moments we capture on our digicam and look back on it fondly.
So how can we translate this idea of friendship into a digicam room aesthetic? It may be hard but let’s take a look at few things:
Cool colours for bed sheets
Dual colours for bed sheets of pillows
Picnic blankets
Slippers to walk around the house with
Colourful carpets we’d sit on with our friends
But if those don’t work out, feel free to take out inspiration from your friends or what you guys have discussed during your time as an adolescent. Although this is tricky, there is no doubt that the result will have a nice digicam aesthetic that fully encapsulates the nostalgia that you need.

Finding Yourself: Discovering the Digicam Aesthetic
Last but not least, let’s talk about the last phase of youth: the teenage phase.
The teenage phase are many different things, serious, rebellious and maybe even life-changing. What makes this phase so connected with the digicam experience is about the experimentation we did at this age. This was the age where we savoured youth and experimented styles to find out what fitted best as a person. It was also marked by confusion and rebelling against society standards.
The digi-cam aesthetic not only marks all the soft feminine energy, but also the strong feminine energy, with bold colours and accessories. Maybe its coquette or maybe its dark academia, either way, it’s marked as a first step towards independence.
As mentioned above, here are some aesthetics that may reflect the teenage digicam aesthetic:
Coquette
Dark Academia
Gingham
Cottagecore
Y2K
Goth
These suggestions above are of course not set in stone, but they are what we believe encapsulates the boldness of the teenage digicam aesthetic, while still maintaining a softness and innocence to it. Essentially, preserving how digi-cam correlates with youthfulness.

Final Thoughts
Words such as soft can have such a broad meaning, and even expanded to talk about the digicam aesthetic, still have many connotations and styles that can be pulled from it.
In this article, we’ve defined the digicam aesthetic as something that relates to youth and the idea of coming back to it as a form of nostalgia. That is not to say that everything in our childhood was always better, but upon looking back, through the lenses of our metaphorical digicam, we can find beauty in it and refine the aesthetic as adults. We are able to control what we couldn’t as youths, and that is what's so powerful about designing your perfect digicam aesthetic room.
It’s never about nostalgia equals better, it’s about taking the best parts of your childhood and bringing it out in your personality. The digicam aesthetic only allows us to give us brief glimpses of the past, but it’s never permanent so cherish it.
