For Nancy Meyers fans, I know this week-old news is already old news, but the trailer for the new movie she’s produced (directed by her 29-year-old daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer) is out and I’ve watched it 12 times at least…. pausing multiple times to take in the gorgeous set design Nancy’s famous for.
The film is Home Again and the leading lady is Reese Witherspoon. Other amaaaazing cast members (another Nancy thing) include Candace Bergen, Michael Sheen, Lake Bell, and more.
If you don’t know Nancy by name, you definitely know her fabulous movies: Something’s Gotta Give (Diane Keaton), It’s Complicated (Meryl Streep), The Intern (Anne Hathaway), The Holiday (Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz), Father of the Bride (Diane Keaton again)… each one as good as the next and just as beautiful.
Which brings me to the newbie: Home Again. The plot centers around Reese’s character, a 40-year-old mother of two little girls whose ex?-husband is not in the picture… until he shows up later in the film. I’m not going to lie, I’m slightly confused by it all – basically Reese has a one-night fling with a hot young guy when she’s out celebrating her bday, and then lets him and his two aspiring film-maker buddies live at her house… but in one of the trailers, one of the other guy friends says he’s in love with her, different from the guy she’s hooking up with. Intruiging, no? Perhaps a love triangle. My favorite of all the plots!
But enough about that: let’s talk home decor.
As I said, I paused repeatedly to screenshot all the goodness for you (but really for me). Let’s have a look!
The Living Room
I love how colorful and bright the decor in the living room is. Reese lives in the home with her two young daughters so I appreciate the happy, girly vibe. Of course, it maintains its California cool with white slipcovers, light wood, and woven materials. (I put together a Get the Look of this living room at the end of the post!)
The Dining Room
You can’t go wrong with a giant light wood table and wishbone chairs, topped off with a big bowl of granny smith apples. Casual, comfortable, perfect for sitting around with family or friends or three hottie 20-something men who are all in love with you.
The Kitchen
The bright blue backsplash goes with the pinks and blue accents of the living room. Obviously loooove the herb garden on the window sill and pretty hand soap and dish soaps (this is her exact dish soap)! A stack of cookbooks, bowls of food on the counter – I like the “lived in factor” of all of Nancy’s sets and this is no exception.
The Bedroom–er, or guest house now that
I’m looking at it w/ the kitchenette in the back?
I personally loooove seeing this bedroom because it kind of reminds me of our own! Simple beige linen headboard, white bedding, black and white art. And she has a bed skirt, not a full framed bed. See, you can still be chic and sophisticated with a bed skirt (I recommend this one, it’s a bit nicer and tailored).
The Bedroom and Kids’ Room 


Charming and eclectic… again more pink accents since it’s a girl home.
Nightstand styling notes: books, personal photos, and fresh flowers… that’s all you need! Love it all.
The Outdoor Spaces
The outdoor spaces are definitely my favorite part of the home (just like the It’s Complicated home–remember Meryl’s garden?!). This makes sense the outdoors are extended living areas because California always has such good weather! How dreamy is that movie night set up on the back yard?! Cozy.

Trailer 1
Trailer 2
So that’s that! Are you excited to see it?! What is your favorite Nancy Meyers movie?! Let’s chat!
Father of the Bride is still one of my favs.
You’re right, the story line in the trailer doesn’t make any sense. The second trailer is better.
So confusing right?! Haha who can’t love FotB!? Classic.
I love everything about Nancy’s movies, especially the design. They are my go-to when I need inspiration or am having a bad day. Also, I am still really regretting not purchasing a white sofa because every time I see one, I wish I had one.
I know they’re so lovely… I think the trick is to get a slipcovered one for when it inevitably gets a spill…
Love this post and can’t wait to see the movie! I think my favorite Meyers movie house is the one in Something’s Gotta Give, but it’s so hard to choose. They are all so beautiful in their own way. ?
Thank you!! It’s Complicated has become mine basically because I want to be Meryl in that movie w/ her home, her garden, her bakery! Hah
My favorite is the kitchen in The Intern! Looking forward to seeing this one when it comes out.
LOOOVE the sets of The Intern! Didn’t love the story as much sadly…
I’m looking forward to seeing this one! It’s actually written and directed by her daughter, which is amazing!
I know, I know I mentioned that! So cool for her!
Where can we buy the back splash ?
I think The backsplash is from Walker Zanger DUQUESA FÁTIMA ceramic tile
This looks dreamy, but my favorite Nancy Meyers’ set design was that for It’s Complicated. I swoon at the living room and kitchen. And anything with Meryl Streep in it gets my vote.
I’m a month late seeing this Alaina, but thank you thank you for screen shooting all of these rooms! I’m a Nancy Meyers addict–The Parent Trap too! Who could forget those sets? Everything I wanted in life in 1998 lol (but really..still love that big California house!). The Holiday has to be my favorite–I could watch it endlessly and still love it each time. I’m so excited to see this movie!!
Drooling over that pink upholstered headboard…anyone know where it’s from?!
I read somewhere else that it was upholstered using two vintage rugs.
I want some If you can find it on the kitchen backsplash tile in the movie snd the blue and white dinnerware. Thanks

Where can I buy the kitchen back-splash?
Hi there, I’m also trying to find where I can buy the kitchen back splash. Have you found a place or the name of it? Thank u?

Everything is beautiful. I read the house used to belong to Cindy Crawford and then Ben and Jennifer Affleck. It has such beautiful grounds too.,Love ve all the details in and out. That kitchen backsplash really caught my eye.
I’m another decor nut who is often distracted by set design while watching movies, so Nancy Meyer’s movies have always been favorites. She has a daughter with the same amazing eye and is now making movies too???!! Yay, so much more eye candy in store!
Trying to figure out the paint color used in the main living spaces….any guesses? Anyone?
Where can I purchase the pink,red,berry headboard. To die for
Someone please tell me where to find the paintings she has on the dresser in the scene where all the guys are sitting on her bed in the bedroom trying to talk to her…the white backsplash with the hot pink paint stripes…I’m obsessed !
Anyone have info on that kitchen backsplash bright blue tile?? I am wanting that look in my dreary Illinois kitchen to brighten up our days. Help!! Thanks!

I still haven’t seen this movie, so thanks for the reminder. I have to tell you a story. Something’s Gotta Give was my all time favorite for years. All the white, and windows, oversized desk in her room overlooking the ocean, a gorgeous kitchen, and of course, Paris! When It’s Complicated came out on dvd, I found myself pausing the movie just to study the set. Her Bakery and home kitchen, along with the living area where she and her friends sit around to chat were my fav! Oh and her bathroom with the bear claw tub!! Then when The Intern came out, I started to wish I lived in the city with a brownstone of my own. lol, Nancy is just amazing. But honestly, I owe it to you for finally putting all the pieces together when you mentioned Nancy for the inspiration in a post, or perhaps a insta story, I cannot remember. I looked it up, and was amazed to see my favorite movies were her designs. I just made so much sense! I never realized I was into a certain style, and certainly of one individual. So thank you for keeping me up to speed on who’s who. Since then, I’ve become an avid follower of yours. I heart your decorating style as well, and love all your tips & links. ?
Love the dresser in the bedroom. Where is it from?
I have been dreaming about this house, the blue & white backsplash & looking for the dinner plates! I loved the movie!
In the movie Home Again, Reese Witherspoon is taking blue floral plates out of the dishwasher. Who are they made by and what is the pattern name?
I would definitely watch this movie as soon as I finish my semester. Thank you so much for the great share and analytical details about it.
The backsplash is from Walker Zanger DUQUESA FÁTIMA ceramic tile, I finally found it! ☺️ It’s beautiful!! I was obsessed!
Hi, any chance in finding out the paint color they used in the living room and dining room? I desperately want it as I’m going to be painting my living room. Every blog and post I find talks about the decor and the gorgeous set ? but how do I find the paint colors???
Any luck on the paint colors???
Where can I find the blue/white mugs, plates, serving bowls used in the breakfast scene. I’ve looked and looked and can only find the Potterybarn plates.
This page definitely has all of the info I wanted about this subject and
didn’t know who to ask.
Loved this movie!! The set was GORGEOUS. Do you know where the blue and white plates are from. It shows a really good image of the ones I love when she’s unloading the dish washer. Right before they kiss.
I was hoping to know the wall color. I have. Place with terra cotta floors but wall color that looks good is hard.
Would like to find the quilted bedspread in the girls room. It is white with red and green Bohemian looking circles in red and green.
