I’m redesigning my bathroom to look like something straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie – here's the expert advice I'm following to get the look

I've spent more time than I care to admit pausing Nancy Meyers movies to get a good glimpse at the interiors. And lately, it's the bathrooms I keep going back to. Managing to feel lived-in yet still polished, these are the kind of spaces that make you want to draw a bath, light a candle, and stay a while.

So you won't be surprised that it's the Nancy Meyers aesthetic that I'm trying to recreate in my bathroom remodel. While no two Meyers movie bathrooms are exactly the same – there's a vast difference in size and vibes between the bijoux bathroom in The Holiday vs Anne Hathaway's Brooklyn-based suite in The Intern – but they all share a sense of softness, timelessness, and a layered, vintage bathroom charm that’s hard to fake.
