My interior design tips get you that cozy Nancy Meyers look on a budget – start with a piece you can buy on Facebook
AN interior designer has shared her style tips that will give a cozy Nancy Meyers look.
But houseproud fans will be delighted to hear her method will not break the bank.
It can be done on a budget, starting with a piece you can buy on Facebook.
Juliana’s (@julianaghani) post has gained a lot of interest with over 75,000 likes.
She is an Interior designer and a confessed “style lover.”
In this video, she demonstrates how a Nancy Meyer-inspired home could be yours too.
“My tips for curating a traditional cozy home on a budget,” she said.
A Nancy Meyer’s look is pure cottage core, wooden furniture, custom sofas, woolen rugs, and bookshelves.
All in all, it is a lovely cozy look. But just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither will this aesthetic.
It can take years, warned Juliana. But she shared her tips to help start curating your cozy home look.
She distilled her list to a few choice items with search terms for best results on Facebook Marketplace.
RUGS
Not just any old rug, however. Even secondhand, these might be a little pricy.
Facebook Marketplace
A cozy home with a Nancy Meyer's aesthetic could be yours and the secret is Facebook Marketplace. She also uses Ebay.
Tips:
- Use specific search terms
- Increase your search radius
- Don’t be afraid of items showing wear or distress – that’s all part of the look
But it will be worth it for this aesthetic.
Search terms:
- Wool,
- Persian
- Oriental
- Custom
- Vintage
WOODEN CASE GOODS
Wood goes with everything, but it has to be a particular type of wood.
Mahagony, for example is far too red for a cozy vibe, said Juliana.
Search terms:
- Burl wood
- Veneer table
- Vintage chest
- Wood console
CUSTOM SOFA
There is a very particular look for sofa if you want to stick to the style guide for cozy core.
Rolled arms and a skirt are where it is all at.
Customized sofas are best and Juliana recognizes they are pricey.
But Facebook Marketplace is your friend.
Search term:
- Custom sofa
LAYERING PIECES
Lamps are very important to complete the look.
But not just any old lamp.
Search terms:
- Brass lamps
- Ceramic lamps
- Porcelain lamps
- Painted lamps
- Vintage lamps
Budget interior design tips
Interior designer Judy Hoang shared her furniture tips with The U.S. Sun.
- Thrift furniture and paint it to match your decor.
- Test if an item is fit for its purpose before thrifting.
- Shop at Target or HomeGoods for rugs, lamps, desks, and pillows.
- Invest in classic timeless pieces.
- Set up smart home lighting to save money.
Books are another excellent way to add layers to a room.
Juliana only ever buys second-hand books for her coffee table.
But start small, she advised, with pillows, chairs, rugs, and build up your collection over time.
Commenters loved her suggestions.
“Nancy Meyers aesthetic is my favorite aesthetic,” admitted one fan.
“Maximalism goals,” joked another fan.
“This is my new décor bible,” said a third fan.
