There’s something magical about a Nancy Meyers kitchen. The soft, natural light… the layered neutrals… the feeling that life is happening there—fresh coffee brewing, blackberry cobbler (my favorite) cooling on the counter, a favorite playlist humming in the background. And this isn’t a movie set. These photos are from Nancy Meyers’s real home kitchen (AD), and it’s everything we imagined it would be: coastal, classic, and completely livable in the most elevated way. If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a space that feels like a scene from It’s Complicated or Something’s Gotta Give, this post is for you. I’m breaking down the details on how to how to get the dreamy Nancy Meyers kitchen look—and how you can recreate the look at home with just a few thoughtful accessories (some of which I have and love!).
P.S. I also shared a fun post sharing how to get the Nancy Meyers look at home for summer! It was a popular one my readers are loving!

A Classic White Kitchen That Feels Warm, Not Cold
White kitchens are timeless, but the secret is in the warmth. Nancy’s cabinetry leans into creamy white tones that feel soft and welcoming—think Swiss Coffee or Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Add glass-front doors to a few upper cabinets to show off your prettiest pieces (a blue and white dish here, a stack of linen napkins there). It’s classic, but never sterile.
The Center Island of Our Dreams
In true Nancy fashion, the island takes center stage—and it’s not just for looks. A spacious kitchen island invites conversation, baking sessions, wine sipping, and impromptu family dinners. In her space, a darker finish on the island contrasts beautifully with the rest of the white cabinetry, adding depth and a slightly rustic charm.
Marble (or Marble-Look) Countertops That Age Gracefully
One of the most striking elements in Nancy’s kitchen is the marble countertop. It’s that lived-in luxury that only gets better over time. If marble isn’t in the cards, quartz and other marble-look options can give you the same effect with less upkeep. The soft veining keeps it feeling organic, like it belongs in a breezy, well-loved home by the sea.
Window Moments with a Coastal Breeze
That big, dreamy window above the sink? Pure movie magic. The soft drapery (white linen, of course) keeps the space airy while giving it that layered, lived-in look. I also love how she keeps the counter below it styled with everyday objects—Ina Garten cookbooks, olive oil bottles, fresh herbs. It’s functional but beautiful, and it reminds you that this is a home where meals are made and memories happen.
Beautiful Pendant Lights
The pendant lighting in her kitchen is oversized but not flashy—just enough to create that “movie moment” overhead. I love a milk-glass or brass fixture to replicate the look. You don’t need many, just one or two with a sculptural feel to make the whole room glow.
The Little Details that Tell the Whole Story
It’s the finishing touches that make this kitchen feel so dreamy. A vintage-style TV tucked into a shelf. A bowl of lemons on the counter. A candle flickering next to a wooden cutting board. These are the details that bring soul into the space. They say someone really lives here, and that someone loves beauty, warmth, and a home that tells a story.
Style It Like a Nancy Meyers Film
This kitchen is proof that you don’t need to chase trends. Timeless, well-made pieces, soft finishes, and personal touches will always feel good. And while we can’t all live in a Brentwood estate, we can light a candle, set out a linen towel, and make our homes feel a little more like the movies we love.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or simply adding a few charming details, creating a kitchen that feels like Nancy Meyers’s is really about embracing the joy of everyday living. It’s lighting a candle while dinner simmers, stacking your favorite dishes with care, and letting sunlight pour in through soft linen curtains. Her real-life kitchen reminds us that beauty doesn’t have to be fussy—and that a cozy, coastal-inspired space filled with love, laughter, and blackberry cobblers will always be in style.
