BY PURE COINCIDENCE, I recently watched both It’s Complicated, the 2009 film with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin; and Father of the Bride, the 1991 film with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton. Now everyone knows that when you watch Nancy Meyers films, the interiors nearly steal every scene (remember the charming cottage in The Holiday?), so when I came across the writer-director-producer’s redecorated Los Angeles home, of course I had to have a peek, especially since she worked with LA-based interior designer Mark D. Sikes, whose work has been featured here many times. As to be expected, the home has a coastal air to it, with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. The colour patette is neutral, with lots of natural textures such as marble and linen, seagrass and stone. There are many wicker and rattan pieces scattered throughout the home and special details like plant-covered alcoves and a fireplace on the outdoor (wicker-covered) terrace. And while it’s not quite as intricate as the homes she creates for her characters, it’s still cosy and inviting and filled with clean lines and character. Scroll through for a glimpse…
