Swipe through to discover how to add that star-studded flair to your decor.
Modern Penthouse
Recreate the sleek and sophisticated look of K-drama penthouses with glass walls, glossy finishes, and open layouts. Think of the elegant design from “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim”.
To nail the vibe, incorporate large windows, neutral tones, and metal accents. For an extra luxe touch, add modern art pieces and statement lighting that’ll give your home that penthouse sparkle.
Marble Floors
Nothing says luxury like marble flooring. Inspired by the ultra-rich homes seen in “Vincenzo,” add a marble accent to your living space with a grand entrance or sleek living room flooring.
For those on a budget, marble-effect tiles or rugs can achieve a similar look. Pair them with minimalist furniture to let the floors shine and create an upscale, drama-worthy atmosphere.
Traditional Meets Modern
Blend traditional Korean elements with modern design, just like in “Crash Landing on You.” Introduce sliding wooden doors (known as the ‘Hanok’ style), low-sitting furniture, and earthy tones to recreate that balance.
Add sleek lighting fixtures and modern art for a fresh, contemporary twist. This fusion of styles is perfect for bringing the warmth of tradition with a luxurious modern edge.
Cozy Lighting
Soft, cozy lighting plays a huge role in creating the romantic atmosphere of many K-drama homes, like in “Her Private Life.” Opt for dimmable lights, floor lamps, or chandeliers that cast a warm glow.
Add lanterns or soft wall sconces to create an intimate feel in living spaces. The right lighting can transform a regular room into a cozy, romantic retreat that feels straight out of a scene.
Statement Staircases
In dramas like “The Penthouse,” staircases aren’t just functional; they’re focal points. To recreate this look, consider adding a dramatic staircase with sleek railings, glass panels, or floating steps.
Even if a full remodel isn’t on the cards, you can update your existing stairs with fresh paint, luxurious carpets, or metallic accents.
Velvet Touch
Velvet is a go-to fabric for luxurious interiors in K-dramas like “The Master’s Sun”. Incorporate rich velvet in your space with plush sofas, throw pillows or curtains.
The deep textures of velvet, especially in jewel tones like emerald or navy, instantly give any room a regal feel.
For a budget-friendly approach, velvet cushion covers or ottomans can add a soft, luxurious touch without breaking the bank.
Open Kitchens
K-dramas often feature open, minimalist kitchens with clean lines and high-end finishes, as seen in “The World of the Married”. To achieve this, go for open shelving, sleek countertops, and minimalist appliances.
If a full kitchen remodel isn’t in your budget, start by decluttering and adding metallic accents like copper pots or marble cutting boards.
Faux Fur Accents
For a cozy, luxe vibe reminiscent of “Hotel Del Luna,” add faux fur accents throughout your space. From throws and pillows to rugs, the texture instantly brings warmth and sophistication.
Choose neutral colors like ivory, grey, or blush to keep things modern. Even small touches like a faux fur stool or chair cover can create that plush, high-end feel without the price of real fur.
Minimalist Bedrooms
The minimalist bedroom aesthetic, as seen in dramas like “My Secret Romance,” is all about creating a serene and clutter-free space.
Keep your color palette neutral with colors like soft whites, greys, or beiges, and focus on clean lines with simple furniture.
Add soft bedding and a few chic decor pieces, and you’ve got a bedroom fit for a K-drama star.
Indoor Zen Gardens
Bring peace and tranquility into your home with a K-drama-inspired indoor zen garden, like those seen in “Our Beloved Summer”. Use simple elements like pebbles, bamboo plants, or small fountains to create a serene space.
A little corner of your living room or hallway can be transformed into a calming oasis with minimal effort. Plus, it’s a great way to add natural elements and balance the fanciness of the rest of your decor.
Outdoor Living Spaces
K-dramas often feature stunning outdoor living spaces, like the dreamy terraces and rooftops in “My Holo Love”. You can recreate this look with chic outdoor furniture, string lights, and cozy cushions.
Don’t forget to add potted plants or hanging vines for a natural touch. Even if you have a small balcony, create a cozy nook where you can relax with a coffee and feel like you’re in your own K-drama scene.
Bold Accent Walls
K-dramas like “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” are known for striking interiors, often featuring bold accent walls. You can achieve this look by choosing a rich, deep color like navy, emerald, or burgundy for one wall in your living room or bedroom.
If painting isn’t an option, removable wallpaper with intricate patterns or textures can bring that K-drama flair.
Floor-to-Ceiling Bookshelves
Recreate the intellectual charm of K-drama homes like the one in “My Love From the Star” with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Use a mix of books, art, and decorative objects to keep the shelves from looking cluttered and create a visual balance.
Even if you’re working with limited space, a small-scale version of this feature can add sophistication and personality to any room.
Luxurious Curtain Drapes
Finish off your K-drama-inspired home with luxurious, flowing drapes like those seen in “The King: Eternal Monarch”. Opt for heavy fabrics like velvet or silk in rich, jewel-toned colors for a dramatic effect.
Even if your windows are small, floor-length curtains can create the illusion of height and grandeur. Pair them with metallic curtain rods or chic tiebacks for an extra touch of elegance.
