Nancy Meyers Inspired Design Packages

You don’t have to star in a rom-com to live in a Nancy Meyers–inspired home—here’s how our Color Study design package brings that signature aesthetic to life.

Cozy, charming, and rich in texture and personality, brought to life through personal touches. Our designer, Hannah Jacobus, has blended artwork with the Nancy Meyers aesthetic, carefully selecting furniture, colors, and décor to create a warm, inviting, and story-filled home.

Color Study:

In the Color Study, we create a personalized color palette for one interior or exterior space, helping clients achieve a cohesive and visually appealing look. The package includes a 30-minute consultation with our interior designer, Hannah Jacobus, to discuss color selections and schemes, followed by a custom-curated color palette document for you to implement at your convenience. A $450 credit can also be applied toward an upgrade to our Sketch or Masterpiece packages. This package primarily focuses on a design rationale—outlining the overall goal and objective, with recommended wood and metal finishes, along with your color guide.

How to use the Color Study with a Nancy Meyers Inspiration:

We’ll begin with a short questionnaire to better understand your goals—what space you’re designing, the mood you want to create, and the feelings you’d like the room to evoke. From there, our Color Study translates those ideas into a custom palette that captures the essence of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic.

Known for films like Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday, and It’s Complicated, Meyers’ interiors are celebrated for their cozy yet elegant atmosphere—warm neutral palettes, layered textures, timeless patterns, and a sense of comfort that feels both lived-in and refined. Using this inspiration, your Color Study becomes a curated mood board for your space, complete with recommended finishes and color selections designed to bring that same inviting, cinematic quality into your own home.

A Nancy Meyers inspired living room:

Design Rationale:

Inspired by the living room in Something’s Gotta Give (2003), this Nancy Meyers–inspired design blends warm neutral tones with the layered textures and artistry of Karin Olah. Her tactile use of paint, canvas, and mixed media complements Meyers’ signature style—spaces that feel timeless, inviting, and layered with personality.

At the heart of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic are elements that transcend trends: curated family photos, meaningful collectibles, textured rugs, interesting textiles, and open shelving filled with well-loved books. These interiors are designed for living—sofas softened with floral pillows, surfaces layered with character, and spaces that naturally invite gatherings.

To achieve this look, lean into an effortlessly undone approach. The room should tell your story through artwork, literature, and photography, representing who you are at your core rather than recreating a showroom or department store display. Comfort, warmth, and authenticity come first—style is simply the result.

Color and Layering:


Accents in green, thoughtfully integrated through artwork, decor, or accessories, help maintain a cozy, layered feel amidst warm neutrals. White-based patterns across fabrics, rugs, and furnishings provide balance and rhythm, allowing accent hues like Briar Green, Sweet Annie, or Olive Green to emerge without overwhelming the space.

Hued neutrals such as Satin Gold and Stonington bring subtle warmth and versatility, ideal for soft furnishings, wall treatments, or accessory details. Introducing a silvery-lavender tone like Silver Chalice—through lampshades, throw blankets, or florals—adds elegance and refinement, pairing seamlessly with off-white trim, soft greens, and blush accents. For a pop of vibrancy, use stronger accents such as Atlantis Blue or Caribbean Green sparingly, creating interest in small, curated details that elevate the overall palette.

Layering textures, patterns, and colors with intentionality allows this space to feel simultaneously elegant, cozy, and effortlessly styled—a true homage to the timeless Nancy Meyers aesthetic.

A Nancy Meyers inspired kitchen:

Design Rationale:



Drawing inspiration from Father of the Bride (1995), the kitchen design reflects the warmth and authenticity that Nancy Meyers is known for. Rather than feeling staged or overly polished, the space is layered with lived-in charm—warm tones, soft natural light, and everyday details like hanging copper cookware, open shelves with spices, and baskets brimming with fresh produce.

Meyers’ kitchens reject the sterile modern look of marble countertops and stark white cabinetry. Instead, they embrace the character of beige-toned walls and floors, complemented by wooden work surfaces, farmhouse tables, or small islands that encourage gathering. The design celebrates imperfection and history—wicker baskets, collected ceramics, and thrifted accents that add personality and texture.

The overall mood recalls the serenity of an English cottage kitchen: wholesome, inviting, and designed as the true heart of the home.

Color and Layering:



When layering color and texture in this kitchen, start by grounding the space with a single dominant hue. Working with different tints and shades of that color creates depth while maintaining cohesion. This approach is especially helpful when incorporating thrifted pieces—ensuring the look feels curated rather than cluttered.

For walls, Glidden’s White on White provides the perfect backdrop. Its clean neutrality allows natural wood tones, copper cookware, and collected décor to stand out, keeping the space open and inviting. Introduce blues (soft or darker) through accents or accessories to bring a sense of calm and tranquility, while also balancing the white walls and white tile backsplash.

A key hallmark of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic is embracing counter space. Instead of hiding everyday items, display artwork, spices, small appliances, and cooking essentials—this creates a sense of life and use, avoiding the overly staged look. Open shelving and hanging storage for cookware reinforce this idea, allowing functional pieces to double as design elements. For any hidden shelving, add a cabin skirt to add a bit more texture, depth, and personality to hide any items that don’t necessarily fit in your space.

To complete the look, layer in nostalgic artwork. Artist Rocky Reed is a perfect fit, with still-life techniques reminiscent of antiques, yet modernized through unexpected subject matter—like tarot cards or skulls—and a brighter color palette. His work brings both familiarity and surprise, echoing the layered, lived-in charm that makes Meyers’ interiors so timeless.

Do you have a space—or several spaces—that don’t feel like you? Or rooms that sit unused because they just don’t work for your lifestyle or spark emotion? At Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design, we specialize in creating spaces that not only function flawlessly but also reflect your personality, passion, and artful taste.
