As a resident of one of the grayest, rainiest cities in the world, London, I'm a huge proponent of indoor-outdoor living. I love the idea of being able to harvest every ounce of sunlight, no matter the weather outside. To me, filling the home with light and visions of surrounding trees and plants is a surefire way to boost your mood and echo the unparalleled beauty of the outdoors as part of your interiors. Meg Ryan's Montecito home features one of the best examples I've ever seen.
The actress's sunroom idea was brought to life by Becker Studio, and the garden was built by Arcadia Studio. They're both stunning. The sunroom has high ceilings that can be seen through the unique, repurposed windows with black lines between the panes. Ryan's a-frame white ceilings have a statement spherical white light hanging down. Two white square armchairs sit by the windows. The garden features olive trees and evergreen bushes on either side of the sunroom doors. Feathery flowers wave in the breeze in front of it. Antique-style gray stone sprawls around the front of the property.
