Metro.Style lists some K-Dramas where you can draw inspiration from for your ideal bachelorette living.
Yumi’s Cells
Kim Yumi’s (Kim Go-eun) independent living is inspiring and so is her apartment which reflects her colorful personality. When we were introduced to Yumi and who she is, one of the first things we saw on the drama is her messy but charming apartment. Among the eye-catching details on her apartment are the light brown bedroom storage headboard which also serves as a shelf for her personal items., Yumi’s archaistic rose gold copper faucet in the kitchen and a surprising choice of rattan accent chair in her living room.

When Yoon Hye-jin (Shin Min-ah) moved to Gongjin and decided that the apartment she’s about to lease is not up to her standards, she decided to renovate it with Chief Hong Dusik. The result is a modern, urban-style apartment that’s tastefully practical and compact yet comfortable to come home to. Take note of Hyejin’s sliding French doors that separate her bedroom from the receiving area and the aesthetically-pleasing minimalist desk in her bright and airy living room.

Art student Yu Na-bi (Han So-hee) lives up to her interests and college degree as she tastefully designed her space with wooden accents and unique art pieces to liven up her room and match her style. She was also able to maximize her studio apartment with her elevated bed space and storage ideas. Park Jae-eon’s butterfly ornament décor was also a great addition to her room.

Kim Da-Li (Park Gyu-young) is elegant, gentle and a classic beauty. Though we were earlier introduced to a home owned by Ms. Prinsen where Da-li stays, the aesthetics in the grand, palatial house reflects her demeanor and personality. Among the items that caught our eyes are the Butterfly frames in the living room, the unique bedside lamp and even the patterned minimalist pillowcases. On the practical side, we also noticed the kitchen jars which made the kitchen highly organized and the robot vacuum that not only cleans the house but might also land you (literally) the man of your dreams. If you’re feeling generous to yourself, you can also have your very own Darli’s Swing which our female lead had fond memories of in her childhood home.

Makeup artist Ahn Jeong-ha (Park So-dam) is young, warm and a dreamer and fangirl at heart. She is one of the most relatable K-Drama characters we can encounter as she feels like someone you know even when it comes to her design aesthetics in her apartment. She lives alone but she made sure to make it feel warm, cozy and homey. She thoughtfully adorned her home with a hanging plant ornament and a pendant light fixture above the dining table. The wooden wall floating shelves also maximized her small space in a creative way.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Bestselling children’s book author Go Moon Young’s (Seo Yea-ji) taste is absolutely not your regular cutesy and pastel-colored design aesthetic. Her dark and moody vibe is reflected in her vintage, castle-like home. Most of the items in her house is elegant with an old-world vibe reminiscent of the Victorian era. If you have a taste for luxury, elegance and the upscale, consider Go Moon Young’s choices of European seats, vintage desk and chair and chandelier choices.

Not to be outdone is modern and empowered female CEO Yoon Se-ri’s (Son Ye-jin) apartment. Her brave and bold choices of vibrant colors for the elongated couch, eclectic designs like the honeycomb shelves and contemporary patterns in her home furniture reflect her overall confidence and daring personality. She’s also a classy plantita. It can be argued that her fast-paced life has made turned her onto the nordic living philosophy du jour called friluftsliv. Simply put, this lifestyle is a means to boost mental wellness by incorporating elements of the outdoors in one's interior space. Her home is almost an unapologetic testament to her wealth and decisive outlook in life.

At times, professionalism calls for us to be stiff and business-like but thankfully, home is where our personalities shine. Secretary Kim’s apartment is simple but feminine and lovely as evident in her choice of bedroom prints. It is warm and comfortable and adorned with practical and inexpensive items as well as minimalist, Nordic furniture too.
