If you’ve ever watched any of Nancy Meyers’ films and found yourself swooning over the interiors as much as the storyline, you’re not alone. 

Her movies, from Something’s Gotta Give to The Parent Trap, What Women Want and The Holiday, are known for their effortlessly chic, warm, and inviting spaces. 

Get The Look: Nancy Meyers’ Aesthetic

Nancy Meyers movies contain a dreamy blend of classic design, coastal grandma charm, and cozy comfort. 

If you’re looking to recreate this cozy cottage, timeless look in your own home, here’s how to do it.

1. Soft,Neutral Colors

Nancy Meyers homes are known for their calming, neutral color schemes. 

Think soft whites, inviting creams, subtle beiges, and light wood tones.

These tones create a serene and inviting atmosphere which will stand the test of time. 

It also allows the furniture and decor to shine without overwhelming the space.

2. Classic, Comfortable Furniture

Nancy Meyers interiors always feature a perfect balance of plush, oversized slipcovered sofas, deep-seated armchairs, and inviting beds layered with crisp linens. 

When going for that Nancy Meyers aesthetic, look for pieces with timeless silhouettes and a relaxed feel for an elegant lived-in look.

Linen and cotton upholstery in neutral shades will add to this classic look.

3. Layered Textures for Warmth

To avoid a flat or sterile interior design style, layering textures is key. 

Natural materials like jute rugs, woven baskets, and linen curtains all help to create a cozy vibe. 

Mix in soft throws, plump cushions and stacks of books to create to give your space an English countryside feel.

Vintage pieces, family heirlooms and old photos in interesting picture frames will really add to the overall Nancy Meyers aesthetic.

4. Open, Airy Kitchens: A Hallmark of the Nancy Meyers Aesthetic

A Nancy Meyers kitchen is the epitome of aspirational design.

The famous Something’s Gotta Give kitchen is a personal favorite, and it was the inspiration behind my own kitchen, seen above..

These kitchens are often spacious with a lot of natural light, feature creamy white cabinets, marble or butcher block countertops, and an oversized island. 

Don’t forget statement pendant lights and open shelves to display some copper pots and cookbooks.

5. Elegant Yet Functional Decor Which Reflects Your Personal Style

Nancy Meyers-inspired decor should be both stylish and livable. 

Incorporate fresh flowers, an oversized bowl of fruit, and stacks of coffee table books.

Artwork should be classic and understated, such as vintage landscapes or black-and-white photography.

6. Coastal and European Influences

Many of her movie homes have a breezy, coastal feel or a touch of European charm -think quaint cottage style. 

Introduce subtle nods to these styles with blue-and-white ceramics, French bistro chairs, rustic wood tables, or antique-inspired pieces.

7. Soft, Ambient Lighting

Lighting plays a huge role in achieving the cozy, inviting atmosphere of a Nancy Meyers home. 

Use table lamps with linen shades, wall sconces, and soft candlelight for warm lighting which will make the space feel welcoming and lived-in.

8. A Personal Touch

Finally, what makes her spaces truly special is the lived-in feel.

Add personal touches and unique flea market finds. 

The key is to make it feel curated but not overly styled—like a home that has been lovingly collected over time.

By incorporating these classic elements, you can bring the warmth, elegance, and charm of a Nancy Meyers set designs into your own home.

    Your kitchen is beautiful. Do you have links to the lazy susan on your counter and the woven tray on the counter in your butler’s pantry?
