Paint the walls in a light, neutral color

Note that no matter how small the room of the protagonist/heroine of the dorama is, there is always enough light in it. Even a slight mess (in the soul and things) is not able to spoil the atmosphere of cleanliness and comfort. I would do anything to achieve such an effect, but you can just need to repaint the walls.

In a sea of ​​colors, opt for linen, antique white, and ivory. Another tip: you can leave your favorite paint on the walls, but cover it with a thin layer of plain white paint. If you act carefully, the result will pleasantly amaze you.

Choose low-rise furniture

This format will make the room more comfortable. Koreans initially prefer to do many things without getting up from the floor: watch TV, eat at special tables, and even sleep. And despite the fact that now the majority prefers ordinary, European beds and armchairs, but rarely choose models with high legs.

Another big plus of low furniture: your room will become visually larger. You can find such designs in the Brayden studio assortment.

Wall color furniture

Minimalism prevails in drama interiors. One of its manifestations is the correspondence of the color of the furniture to the shade of the walls. Following this aesthetic, you will feel how the room will become more spacious and cleaner, even without everyday cleaning. There are a lot of flowers to choose from.

If the shade of your walls is closer to white, then try looking for furniture in such colors as "smoky white", "pale pink", "pearl white" and "lace". If you choose wood, then choose something that is lighter. That's all!

Brightness in moderation

Minimalism does not mean that you should only pick colors that have more of a white tint. Absolutely not! You can add life with pastel colors. They can be used in decor, bedding, pillows, and curtains. Some of the most trending colors in dramas are egg yellow, pale pink, mint, and violet. Such delicate islands of color will make your interior 1000 times prettier.

Trinket Time

You will not find bare walls in dramas. In the rooms of the main characters, there are definitely posters, Polaroid photos, small flower pots, garlands, and much more! The main thing is to arrange them with taste and not overdo it. Arrange your favorite little things on the edges of the desktop, on the shelves, and on the windowsill.

This decor will 100% justify your random purchases under the label "because it's cute".

Soft light

Maybe you're lucky and you have huge windows. Or not. But you can live with it! To fill the room with light that sets you up for pleasant dreams and lamp viewing of your favorite dramas, place lamps with yellow light in the corners of the room.

What Koreans definitely know a lot about is warm lamp lighting. The cold white light that kills all living things, beating from the ceiling, you simply will not find it there.

There is very little overhead light. Light sources are most often local. In the "Immortal" these are candles, usually large, pleasantly rounded shapes - there are many of them in the setting of restaurants and cafés, and in home interiors. And also - luxurious floor lamps. If you are thinking about getting a floor lamp for your apartment, be sure to check out the ones featured in the drama.

In the evening, you can switch to garlands, which look stylish, and the night light will replace perfectly.

Finally, what are the Korean interior design trends? Let's summarize all that was said above.

• Preference for a mattress over a bed. Or, in most cases, the use of small wooden scaffolds for the bed.
• Preference for an open hanger-rack for things, instead of a closet.
• Also, sometimes the lack of chairs, Koreans often eat at a low table sitting on the floor.
• A very important point in Korea, 95% of the bathrooms have a sewer hole in the floor. Sometimes there is even a lack of a bathroom and a shower enclosure, Koreans simply wash while standing on the floor.
• In Korea, almost no one glues wallpaper with bright/large/noticeable patterns or drawings.
• Almost 70% of Korean houses do not have window sills.
• If we talk about heating, then almost all Koreans use electric, "warm floors".
• The use of luminous garlands not only as a decorative component but also as a light source itself (instead of table lamps, and illuminators at the dressing table).
• The growing popularity of the trend for lace and carpets (especially those with patterns, often small).
• Preference for simplicity and decoration with houseplants, often large and tropical.
• Use of natural materials, mainly bamboo and wood.
• Minimalism in colors, but the presence of a sufficient amount of detail. (books, plants, figurines, candles, paintings).

  

So, you can consider just some points and make a few changes, or you can dive totally into this world and change all your surroundings. But nevertheless, the choice is yours. When you will finish your apartment renewal and will finally transform it into your beloved dorama atmosphere, you can lay in your low-rise bed, cover yourself with a pastel blanket and watch your favorite Korean dramas.
