Get this look: Hacking Yoon Se-Ri's Brutalist Interior Design

Who would have forgotten to see these trendy interiors which we saw on Netflix? Yes. That is right, you would be able to identify that this room apartment belongs to Yoon Se-Ri, Actress Son Ye-Jin's character in the Korean tv drama hit, Crash Landing on You (C.L.OY.).

Yoon Se-Ri is an independent woman and runs a fashion line with a global market. Her Success in her Career is what defines her and it is measured found on the things that she enjoys. Her personality reflects in her choice of interiors. Bold, Warm, Trendy, and Streamlined.

The Brutalism of Interiors has begun in the late 1940s that started in Le Corbusier's housing project in France.  The use of raw materials with strong geometric forms came from the Brut Architecture design and this architectural style found a way towards the development in design which includes interior design, product design, and fashion design. As the evolution continues in today's interior design concepts, the style was brought back to life and its fundamental elements were the use of rougher texture, bold geometric patterns,  raw material finishes, and neutral tones. The Brutalist style is an obnoxious reminder that being unique and seems obtrusive design can find a way in breaking the norm of design and finding its balance to fit within the lifestyle of the end-user.




This design is somehow a new version of a Scandinavian and mid-century design combined together that is very ambitious and challenging to cater to. Finding the right balance and mixture would come a long way.

Here's a simple hack to get closer to Yoon Se-Ri's Apartment.

Let's take a look at Yoon Se-Ri's living room. Her ceiling as a striking feature of Brutalist Interior though it may have taken it from a Scandinavian Geometric Pattern. This type of ceiling is custom-built for the interiors and is achievable when done right. It can be an added expense to get this type of ceiling feature. However, there is an easy way to have a similar inspiration.

6 things you need to achieve in Yoon Se-Ri's living room.

1. Geoetric Light. You can find this type of pendant anywhere and if you want to have good looking light. 
2. Sofa. Get yourself a comfortable grey sofa and if you want to have a striking color for your sofa, use a seat cover that would complement your throw pillows. 
3. Throw Pillows. Use a warm tone colorful throw pillow. A combination of bold patterns and solid color would do the trick.
4. Side Table. You can use an ordinary coffee table and make a statement art using its legs or table top.
5. Center Table - An Acrylic Finish or Glass Top Coffee Table would make it modern and expand the look of your living area
6. Carpet - Purchase a carpet that is wide enough to cater to your seating arrangement. It gives us a feel of unassuming patterns. 

There you have those 6 items you need to have that Crash Landing on You's Yoon Se-Ri's Living Room look.
