The Nancy Meyers Home Aesthetic Was a Top Decor Trend in 2024 — Here’s How to Get the Look

Embrace a Neutral Color Palette

One of the hallmarks of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic is its neutral color palette. Think whites, creams, soft grays, and beiges. These colors create a serene and inviting atmosphere, serving as the perfect backdrop for your furnishings and décor. Add depth with different shades of the same color and play with textures to avoid a monotonous look.

Invest in Quality Furniture

Meyers’ homes are filled with classic, well-crafted furniture that stands the test of time. Opt for pieces made of natural materials like wood, linen, and leather. Look for clean lines and elegant designs. A comfortable, oversized sofa with plush cushions is a must-have, as it invites relaxation and adds to the cozy vibe.

Shoppers rave about the Ktaxon Sectional Sofa at Walmart as a quality piece of furniture that won’t break the bank. Its double layer cushions, included footstool, and chenille upholstery make it a perfect lounging spot for friends and family.

Incorporate Warm Lighting

Lighting is crucial in achieving that warm, inviting feel that shines through the screen in a Nancy Meyers movie. Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create layers and enhance the mood of your space. Soft, warm bulbs in table lamps, floor lamps, and chandeliers can make a big difference. Don’t forget to add dimmers to control the lighting intensity.

This Farmhouse Table Lamp brings a boho chic vibe — so Nancy Meyers! — to your decor and has three brightness options (low-medium-high) for your different lighting needs; it even comes with dimmable, warm white LED bulbs. Simply change the brightness with a gentle tap on the lamp base to get your desired ambience. Plus, the base has two USB charging ports and an electric plug-in for convenient charging of all your devices.

Mix Traditional and Modern Elements

The Nancy Meyers aesthetic seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements. Pair a vintage coffee table with contemporary art, or mix an antique rug with sleek, modern chairs. This balance creates a space that feels both timeless and current, offering the best of both worlds.

Create a Cozy Kitchen

The kitchen often serves as the heart of a Nancy Meyers home. Aim for a spacious, inviting kitchen with plenty of counter space and high-quality appliances. White cabinetry, marble countertops, and a farmhouse sink are signature features. Don’t forget to add personal touches like fresh flowers, cookbooks, and charming dishware.

Add a faux marble-topped bar table set with velvet stools to your kitchen as an inviting place for friends and family to gather. The storage shelves on the side are perfect for holding your cookbook collection or other pretty tchotchkes, layering in the personality that Meyers’ interiors are known for.

Add Soft Textiles

To enhance the cozy factor, incorporate soft textiles throughout your home. Plush throw blankets, oversized pillows, and luxurious area rugs add warmth and comfort. Choose natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and cashmere for a more inviting feel.

Include Personal Touches

What makes a Nancy Meyers home truly special is the personal touches. Display family photos, cherished books, and unique decor items that reflect your personality and story. These elements add character and make your home feel truly yours.

Keep It Clean and Clutter-Free

While Nancy Meyers homes are cozy, they are also impeccably clean and clutter-free. Invest in stylish storage solutions to keep your space organized. Regular decluttering helps maintain the serene, orderly aesthetic that defines Meyers’ interiors.

Incorporate Greenery
