Set Decorators
Pro set decorators who bring Korean interiors to life, from classic hanok grace to sleek modern Seoul style.
A set decorator picks and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and small details that bring a production designer's vision to the screen. In South Korea, that means working within a design tradition that pairs Joseon-era polish with the sleek look of one of Asia's most design-led nations. The range runs from the ondol-heated hanok houses of Bukchon to the glass-curtain-wall apartments of Gangnam and the industrial-chic studios of Seongsu-dong.
We connect you with Korean set decorators who know where to source close to home, from Itaewon's antique furniture district and the Janganpyeong antique market to the prop houses serving CJ ENM and major K-drama studios. Our network spans every major production hub, with pros who can dress anything from Joseon palace chambers to modern chaebol offices.

Set decorators sourcing from Korea's antique and craft network
Set decoration in Korea draws on a layered design tradition. It runs from Joseon-era polish through Japanese-colonial interiors, post-war industrial design, and the sleek modern look that defines K-drama. Our network reaches into the prop houses serving CJ ENM, Studio Dragon, JTBC, and tvN. It also taps the sourcing routes through Itaewon's antique furniture district, the Janganpyeong antique market, and the pro dealers in Insadong.
Decorators are matched against verified credits in the period and tone of the production. That covers Joseon palace chambers, hanok interiors in Bukchon or Hahoe Folk Village, post-war Seoul tenements, the glass-curtain-wall apartments of Gangnam, Seongsu-dong industrial-chic studios, and the carefully styled chaebol office sets that K-drama audiences expect. Each pick arrives with a working leadman, an on-set dresser team, and the buyer ties needed to dress a feature or a long-form series without slowing prep.
The supply chain behind these teams is one of the network's strongest assets. Decorators source from classic craftspeople in Gyeongju and Jeonju for celadon ceramics, hanji paper goods, lacquerware, mother-of-pearl inlay furniture, bojagi wrapping cloths, and Korean silk. They work with the same fabric and furniture makers that supply the country's busy sageuk industry. Modern briefs run through Korean design showrooms and K-drama-trained interior stylists.
The Seongsu and Hannam-dong rental scenes keep aspirational apartment sets camera-ready. Productions filming across Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and the regional studios at Paju and Namyangju lean on decorators who handle cross-city transport, scene matching, and strike. Foreign shoots using the K-content cash rebates or KOFIC incentives get two-language team heads and compliant payroll. Crews scale fully, from a single decorator to complete set-dec teams with leadman, buyers, dressers, and swing gang.
