And if there's a K-drama male actor that's undeniably romantic, it has to be Ahn Hyo-seop, who just so happens to be Glade's official ambassador.

Fans will remember Ahn Hyo-seop's adorable moments in Business Proposal, where his charm won over audiences. K-drama lovers will also remember him from A Time Called You, Dr. Romantic Seasons 2 and 3, as well as Lovers in the Red Sky.

Right now, Ahn Hyo-seop is choosing his next drama and we already want to watch it! But that's not all — we also can't wait to see him in the movie The Prophet: Omniscient Reader coming out soon.

In collaboration with Glade, we wanna help you feel closer to Ahn Hyo-seop and recreate his best K-drama scenes in your very own home. But it all starts with 'less is more'.

When watching your favourite K-dramas, you may notice that K-homes are generally minimalist. Think clean lines, neutral tones, and open spaces that allow your home to breathe.

A key aspect of this aesthetic is the use of low furniture, which isn't just about style, but also about creating a more intimate, relaxing atmosphere. By incorporating floor cushions, low tables, and platform beds, you can bring that same sense of calm and groundedness to your space to make it feel cosy and inviting.

Next, clean lines and simple furniture are key to a minimalist look. Opt for sleek, refined pieces that reduce visual clutter and keep the space organised, allowing you to focus on essentials. Neutral tones like beige, white, and grey also enhance this aesthetic. These soft hues create a serene, airy feel, adding to the overall sense of calm in your home.

Finally, minimalism means decluttering. Focus on keeping only what you need and love, and remove unnecessary items. The goal is to create a space that feels intentional and peaceful.

Next, add small touches around your home for that K-drama feel

First things first, let the light in by using sheer, airy curtains, and pair them with mirrors to brighten and open up your room. Cosy corners by windows can also set the mood for a relaxing atmosphere. You can further enhance these spaces with minimalist decor — think simple wall art, nature-themed prints, or ceramic vases that add elegance without cluttering.

Incorporate natural textures like woven baskets or wooden accents for a warm, earthy vibe. Finally, add aesthetic mirror decor in corners to reflect light and create a visually expansive, stylish touch that complements the minimalist theme.

Besides on focusing on the aesthetics, a little scent can go a long way in creating the perfect K-home vibe
