Admit it: You can't get enough of HBO's newest miniseries, 'The Undoing,' — and truthfully, you're not alone.

The only thing more gasp-worthy than the final 5-minutes of last week's episode? The show's insanely amazing interiors. I —I mean — we've all been drooling over every single interior, all season long.

Truth be told: the interiors are just as captivating, suspenseful, and dramatic as the Nicole Kidman-Hugh Grant-led show in itself. (Much like the unlikely led cast, the out-of-the-box decor works just as well.) And, the real killer of the show? The decor.

To the point? I can confidently tell you, the only thing I need more in life — well, aside from Grace Fraser's one-of-a-kind green alligator coat (Signe Sejilund, call me!) — would be the chance to recreate some of the show's most show-stopping decor. And, if you're feeling similarly? Today's your lucky day.

Ahead of tonight's killer series finale, we've gone ahead and found out how you too can recreate some of the Fraser's most jaw-dropping rooms — without the $30million listing price.

Plus, if you're a current Upper East Side resident like myself? It's the silver lining you don't just want but need.

So, whether you're looking to recreate the Fraser's breathing living room or mimic Grace's ocean oasis bedroom, here are five ways to mimic some of the most luxurious rooms featured in 'The Undoing' without the hefty price tag.

Steal their style: The Fraser's master bedroom and it's metallic wallpaper

First things first: for all you Sex & the City fans out there? You're not dreaming! The Fraser's master bedroom was also featured in the Sex & the City movie (and is also located in real-life right by the one Carrie and Big reside in).

However, the one reason viewers can distinguish one from the other? Easy: it's the metallic wallpapering (and it's featured throughout most of the rooms in the show). And stealing this specific style has never been easier.

Steal their style: Sally Morrison's quintessential Upper East Side home (and her classic chic curtains!)

In the first episode, we meet Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman) and her band of Upper East Side moms, who all are gathered at Sally Morrison’s (Janel Moloney) to plan an upcoming fundraiser.

While most of the moms spend their time judging the (soon-to-be-deceased) Elena (Matilda De Angelis), our attention was front-and-center on Morrison's chic curtains.

The long drapery made a simple yet stunning statement — and I couldn't stop swooning over how chic the cream curtains looked.

Steal their style: Franklin Reinhardt's art-inspired, ultra-glam apartment

Donald Sutherland portrays Grace's father, Franklin Reinhardt: a retired financier and loving grandfather, tasked with protecting his family when turbulent revelations come to light.

But the real reason we're so captivated with him? His exquisite taste when it comes to the interior of his apartment.

Residing In the "Gold Coast," within the Upper East Side — located between 70th and 77th street — Reinhardt's fine appreciation for art and glam is impossible to miss. So, if you're looking to add an element of Franklin into your homes?

Steal their style: Grace's ocean oasis (and it's bold pops of color!)

You know what they say: "The ocean will cure whatever ails you," and in Grace Fraser's life? It seems her picturesque ocean oasis — aka her beachside home — was just the remedy she needed.

Now, if you're like me and dreaming of recreating her perfect hideaway? We've got it covered.

Steal their style: The Fraser's swoon-worthy sofa

Naturally, we've said the best for last. For anyone who's looking to add the most swoon-worthy focal point to any living room? The Fraser's orange couch is a must-have.

According to a recent Architectural Digest article, the original model was "purchased from Arhaus and reupholstered in an orange mohair from George Smith," that's now the only way to achieve this swoon-worthy sofa.
