Swapping lives, finding love, reunions, and ultimately choosing to listen to your heart and assailing to one's (almost) happily ever after, any movie by the writer-director-producer Nancy Meyers is an ultimate source of comfort. You can always count on her movies for a lovely time that leaves the heart a little more relaxed and a little more hopeful!
Meyer's movies have also attracted close attention to their interiors, inspiring many trends and aesthetics that have come to be known as 'cult Meyers'. From a cosy cottage in the meadows (cc: The Holiday) to an open Spanish home in California (cc: The Parent Trap), the homes in Meyers's movies are an integral part of the plot and narrative trajectories that accelerate falling in love with the whole spectacle.
If you are an ardent follower of Meyer's stories, then you also know that it's the kitchen space that Meyer creates, which uses absolutely masterful storytelling. They are luxurious yet cosy and homely and serve as the background of many pivotal scenes. Marble countertops kitchen islands, beautiful copper pots, fresh flowers, open shelves, and many other features create a languid space of comfort and peace that looks comforting and inviting.
As someone who loves all things elegant and chic, the kitchen style of Meyer's really captures the fancy of the decor enthusiast in me. And for all our sakes I have picked four movies —Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, It's Complicated, and The Intern— written, directed, and produced by Meyers (so we know, it is pure Meyer genius), and have analysed the key features embodied in the kitchen that make them stand out and make them a breathing part of the movie ensemble. Here are key design and decor sensibilities used by Meyer, which you can also introduce into your kitchen spaces as well.
