If you've ever fantasized about living inside the world of a Nancy Meyers film, then TikTok's latest design trend might be your ticket to transporting into the filmmaker's cozy, lived-in universe — or at least replicating it within your own home.

Besides being the creative brainchild of Meyers, films like "The Holiday," "The Parent Trap," and "Something's Gotta Give," also share another commonality: their inimitable home interiors, which are so timeless, they've managed to inspire a new decorating fad (aptly called the "Nancy Meyers aesthetic") that pulls inspiration straight from the rom-com creator's most beloved movies.

In Pinterest's 2024 summer trends report, the brand found that searches for "Nancy Meyers living room," "Nancy Meyers homes," and "Nancy Meyers-core" had soared in recent months. Many furniture brands are curating exclusive product guides that sample some of Meyers's signature design style. And the "Nancy Meyers aesthetic" tag on TikTok has already amassed more than 17.8 million videos on the platform, with users documenting how they've paid homage to the filmmaker through their home's design.

While we might not have the Hollywood-backed budgets necessary to recreate the famous Nancy Meyers interiors seen throughout her films (at least not exactly), we can still mirror her design style on a budget.

How to Shop the Nancy Meyers Aesthetic

So, what is it that makes this TikTok aesthetic feel so unique and modern, despite the films that inspired it being released years ago? "I think this aesthetic is so popular because it appeals to the majority of people. The interiors feel like the true definition of home with their warmth and 'lived in' personality," interior designer Brianna Untener previously told PS.

Unlike other modern design trends, this TikTok aesthetic is heavily focused on neutral undertones, vintage decor accents, and throw pillows galore. It's all about creating a space that feels comfortable, cozy, and charming yet still notably elegant. It's also fairly easy to shop — especially if you're buying furniture from brands like Pottery Barn, Serena & Lily, Urban Outfitters, or Etsy.

If you're still wondering how to shop the Nancy Meyers aesthetic — and gearing up for your yearly binge of "The Holiday" — we rounded up a few products that'll help you achieve the design style within your own home, below. Keep reading to see our picks.

Vintage Wall Art

Vintage Wall Art

Haus and Hues Vintage Beach Wall Art ($8, originally $10)

The Nancy Meyers aesthetic relies on more traditional and vintage home styles as opposed to modern design trends — think nostalgic patterns, muted colors, and unique trinkets. Even if you're short on family heirlooms, you can still infuse a vintage touch into your space with antique items like this classic wall art. The simple painting depicts a sail boat on faded waters, and oozes a coastal essence that reminds us of the interiors depicted in films like "The Holiday" or "The Father of the Bride."

Artificial Flowers

Artificial Flowers

Artificial Snowball Viburnum ($19)

Nancy Meyers interiors are beloved for their warm, lived-in feel, which often rely on actual living elements like plants and flowers to elevate the feel of a space. If you don't want to commit to buying a fresh bouquet every week, consider purchasing artificial stems that'll mirror the look of fresh flowers — minus the constant upkeep.

Wicker Storage Bins

Wicker Storage Bins

Hipiwe Flat Woven Wicker Storage Bins ($24)

When it comes to decorating your home like a Nancy Meyers movie, even the tiniest details can make a big difference. Swapping out your usual plastic storage bins for a more elevated option like these wicker bins will not only add some texture to a room, but they'll also help you stay in theme with your space's neutral color palette.

A Textured Rug

A Textured Rug

PlushRugs Duprine Transitional Stripes Rug ($42, originally $52)

Sofas and coffee tables might get all the hype, but we'd argue that the most important element of any living room or bedroom space is an area rug; choose the one that's best suited to your style and it'll simplify the process of designing the rest of your home. We love colors that are versatile enough to be styled yearround — like a muted red — and think this striped style would work beautifully in a living room, kitchen, or even office. Plus, it has a similar vibe to that iconic striped rug from "Something's Gotta Give."

Antique Books

Antique Books

Authentic Book Set ($85)

Unlike other home design trends, the Nancy Meyers aesthetic follows a "more is more" theme and encourages full bookshelves, covered walls, and open shelves that give you even more opportunity to show off your home essentials. Consider purchasing a set of antique books — like this bundle from Etsy — and thoughtfully placing them around your home. From your nightstand to an empty plant shelf or even on top of a fireplace mantle, these dated books are sure to add plenty of character to your space.

A Cozy Table Lamp

A Cozy Table Lamp

Como Petite Table Lamp ($148, originally $298)

Warm up your space with the help of this darling table lamp. Unlike other styles, this model boasts a raffia lamp shade that's equal parts unique and coastal.

Patterned Pillows

Patterned Pillows

Etsy Patterned Pillow Set ($187, originally $208)

In films like "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Parent Trap," the homes rely on neutral color palettes with splashes of color featured throughout. Keeping in theme with this trend, we recommend building your space around neutral and minimalistic furniture pieces, and then spicing it up with patterned throw pillows that'll help to add more depth. You can opt for something muted like this set from Etsy, or lean fully into color with shades like baby blue, pastel green, and tangerine. The more throw pillows, the merrier!

Open Shelves

Open Shelves

Pottery Barn Verona Shelf ($197, originally $329)

As any design expert will tell you, a great hack for decorating smaller rooms or kitchens is to opt for open shelving units that'll quite literally help to open up the feel of your space. Even better, they'll also give you the opportunity to showcase more items that would otherwise be concealed — like dish sets, pots and pans, candles, and more. This sophisticated shelf would look great in a kitchen or bathroom, and its gold hardware accents add such a luxurious touch.

A Plush Ottoman

A Plush Ottoman

Interior Define Maxwell Custom Velvet Ottoman ($436, originally $545)

Forgo a coffee table and opt for a stylish ottoman — just like this velvet version from Interior Define — that'll double as the perfect centerpiece for your living space. The ribbed wooden legs give the model a vintage flair, and with several different color options to shop, you can pick out the style that's best suited to your home's color palette.

A Vintage Storage Cabinet

A Vintage Storage Cabinet

Urban Outfitters Mason Storage Cabinet ($999)

This statement storage cabinet blends two key elements of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic: vintage charm and an open shelved design. It's the perfect spot for housing books, trinkets, keepsake dishes, and even a record player. Plus, if your living space is dominated by rectangles and other pointed accents, this rounded furniture piece will add a more softened look that's sure to contrast beautifully.

A Slipcovered Chair

A Slipcovered Chair

Pottery Barn Carlisle Slipcovered Chair ($1,119-$2,199, originally $1,349-$2,199)

Slipcovered sofas and chairs are back like they never left — because in Nancy Meyers movies, they basically never did. Unlike standard accent chairs or couches, this specific model has a floor-length design that looks luxurious, is easy to keep clean, and sure to stand out even more against the right colored floor rug. We appreciate that it looks fresh and classic, without feeling too dated.

A Wood Dining Table

A Wood Dining Table

Pottery Barn Toscana Extending Dining Table ($1,804-$2,207)

Plenty of scenes in Meyers's films are centered around a large dining table. With this extendable dining table from Pottery Barn, you'll have more than enough room (and then some) to host large dinner parties for friends, family, and loved ones. We adore its light wooden design and that you can easily mix up the seating options around it.
