This is the movie interior that officially turned the Nancy Meyers style into a recognizable decorating phenomenon. After It’s Complicated came out, the look became a full-blown interior-design obsession — and, years later, Nancy Meyers style is still very much a thing. So let’s go inside the house. For a while now, my movie-location rabbit hole has included actual addresses, too. The single-story Spanish-style house that plays Jane’s home in Santa Barbara is actually located

There’s one shade of blue that keeps showing up in Hollywood movies — again and again. It appears on walls, doors, trim, in bedrooms, home offices and living rooms, and somehow it does something almost magical to an interior: it adds depth and visual context. Even though it’s just paint. This color is a dusty blue, close to what’s often called French Blue. It isn’t naive and clear like a summer sky. It’s a blue that already seems to have a story behind it — memories, dreams,

The apartment in The Drama basically broke the internet. Every major interior publication featured it, and it landed almost instantly in Pinterest’s unofficial hall of fame. So what makes this apartment so good? Let’s take a closer look. As always, I’m going much deeper than the usual “here’s the sofa, here’s the lamp” roundup. If you want the full interior breakdown without the fluff, you’re in the right place. 01. Lamp from HAY / 02. Chairs by Charles Pollock for KNOLL / 0

My entire blog is about movie interiors that inspire me. And every once in a while, as I get around to photographing different corners of my own home, I like to show you what happens when those interiors make their way into real life. Sometimes it’s completely intentional. I see something in a movie, fall for it, and later find myself recreating some version of it at home. But often, it happens without me realizing it. Movies get into our heads and settle somewhere in the bac

The aesthetic of “a girl and her apartment against the whole world” is almost impossible to understand without looking at the interiors of Nora Ephron’s movies. Nora Ephron didn’t invent it. You can already feel the mood in Breakfast at Tiffany’s: a young woman living in a tiny apartment in a glamorous big city, making cheerful little excursions into the world outside. And yet, without Ephron’s movies, it’s hard to imagine what the cozy apartment of Bridget Jones, Carrie Bra

This year, I suddenly realized something that all our many moves had somehow failed to teach me: a home can change before you even notice it happening. My son is about to finish T-K, and the nursery I chose every little detail of is about to change almost beyond recognition. His convertible crib is on its very last configuration. We’ve already read most of the books on his shelves. And it won’t be long before he stops climbing onto the giant giraffe in the corner. So, in atte

I recently wrote about why The Devil Wears Prada is so much more than a movie about fashion — it's basically an encyclopedia of everyday aesthetics. I won't overcomplicate this one: we're looking only at the furniture and decor from the sequel. But if the first movie changed your life even a little and made you realize that your hunger for beautiful everyday surroundings isn't some annoying little obsession but an actual need worth satisfying, you should definitely read the i

You’ve noticed it, right? Or are you too distracted by the actual steamy scenes? Zero judgment — I noticed it for you. Gray is probably the most popular bedding color in Hollywood, and you don’t need statistics to see it. Just start paying attention the next time you watch a movie. There are a few surprisingly good reasons for it and some of them are worth knowing if you’re thinking about upgrading your bedroom or creating a more restful space. Still from Sex and the City (

Let's take a look at one of the glossiest movies of the 2000s: The Devil Wears Prada. The movie is endlessly analyzed for its fashion, thanks to the legendary Patricia Field, but the interiors deserve just as much attention. From Miranda Priestly's ridiculously chic office to the tiniest details in all other spaces, this movie is basically a two-hour design moodboard.

Every fall I find myself staring at porches covered in pumpkins and thinking, okay, this is the year I'm finally doing this properly. I love everything about it — the piles of pumpkins on the stairs, the mums, the little lanterns, the warm lights, the whole slightly ridiculous abundance of fall. And this year I finally went for it and decorated our porch with a whole bunch of pumpkins. There was just one tiny problem: I had no idea how to keep them alive. Because apparently,

Today we're looking at the Spanish-style hacienda from Home Again, the 2017 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. The film was produced by legendary Nancy Meyers, whose movie interiors have become almost as famous as the movies themselves, while the screenplay and direction were handled by her daughter, Hallie Meyers-Shyer. The house is located in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and according to several sources, it was previously owned by Jennifer Garner and, before her, Cindy Crawford.

Blue latte has taken over Instagram and lifestyle blogs, and it goes by quite a few names: moon milk, evening latte, anti-coffee, mermaid latte, or even coastal grandma latte. Whatever you call it, one thing makes it very different from your regular morning latte: there's no coffee or matcha in it. In fact, the only thing that makes it a latte is the milk. The blue color comes from butterfly pea flower powder, which is sometimes called blue matcha even though it isn't matcha
