Ready for a bedroom that feels like a movie set in the best, coziest way? Nancy Meyers interiors are all about warmth, light, timeless pieces, and quiet luxury that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

These eight complete bedroom looks capture that signature vibe: sun-washed, layered, and deeply livable. Peek inside, pick your favorite, and make it your own.

1. The Sunlit Coastal Classic

A hand-knotted low-contrast Persian rug in faded blues and sand grounds the room.
