I Just Found 8 Bedding Pieces That Look Straight from a Nancy Meyers Movie

The foundation of every Nancy Meyers bedroom is a bed swathed in linen—neutral, airy, and just relaxed enough to look lived-in. Whether it’s Diane Keaton’s Hamptons hideaway in Something’s Gotta Give or the cozy English cottage in The Holiday, that layered, effortless bedding is as central to the look as the kitchen islands. And this European linen number delivers that same base: woven from 100 percent European flax, garment-washed for softness and designed to get even cozier with every cycle through the wash. It’s also mid-weight and breathable, making it a year-round staple that anchors the whole layered-up, pillow-piled look.

If linen feels a little too undone for your taste, Meyers would still approve of a bed layered with crisp, cloudlike cotton—something that looks polished without losing an ounce of coziness. Serena & Lily’s comforter is the perfect swap: it blends a 100 percent European linen front with a smooth cotton percale backing, then adds a plush polyester fill that makes it feel instantly full and movie-scene ready (think Meryl Streep collapsing into her Santa Barbara bed in It’s Complicated). Bonus: it’s machine-washable, so you can toss the whole thing in the wash instead of wrestling with a duvet cover. Well-dressed bed, no extra fuss required.

Of course, no Meyers bed is complete without a quilt folded at the foot—the kind that looks plucked from a family heirloom chest. This hand-stitched quilt brings that touch: made from 100 percent GOTS-certified organic cotton, hand-embroidered with floral stitching and finished with a plant-based softener so it feels gentle from day one. Lightweight yet cozy with thick cotton batting, it also layers beautifully over duvets or stands alone in warmer months—exactly the sort of tactile detail you’d expect in Iris’s cottage in The Holiday or the guest rooms of It’s Complicated. And because it’s machine washable (cold, gentle cycle), it’s as easy to care for as it is charming to look at.

In every Meyers film, there’s always that one throw casually draped across the bed or sofa—the final, luxurious layer that makes the whole room feel lived-in. For me, that’s the Jenni Kayne Alpaca Basketweave Throw. I have it in Cocoa and am fully obsessed: it’s somehow smooth as silk (rare for alpaca, which usually leans scratchy) while still offering all the warmth you want in a cozy blanket. Handwoven by artisans in Peru from superfine alpaca with a touch of wool, it has a subtle basketweave texture that looks as effortless as it feels. And while it’s dry clean only, it’s exactly the kind of investment piece Erica Barry would splurge on.

Of course, it’s never just about the duvet—it’s the little details that make the bed feel cinematic, like scalloped edges peeking out from under a quilt. This eyelet sheet set captures that same nostalgic charm: crisp 100 percent cotton that’s machine-washable, with delicate eyelet embroidery that adds a touch of romance without feeling fussy. Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases, making it a complete foundation for layering. Definitely the kind of sheeting you’d imagine under a neatly layered bed in Father of the Bride—classic, breathable and nostalgic.

All of Meyers’s bedrooms have at least one piece that leans unapologetically romantic—a floral print or ruffled edge that feels like it’s been passed down through generations. And LoveShackFancy’s collab with Pottery Barn taps straight into that lineage, with its delicate blue rose motif and lace-trimmed edges that call to mind the sweetness of Annie Banks’s room in Father of the Bride. Made from 100 percent cotton and machine-washable, it’s as practical as it is nostalgic, featuring a hidden button closure and inner ties to keep your insert in place. Pair it with the matching shams for a bed that looks like it belongs in a Meyers set: layered, feminine, and perfectly timeless.

Pillow shams sneak in a little surprise—something patterned and personal that makes a bed feel three-dimensional rather than styled without an inch of its life. These Anthro shams nail that effect with a whimsical scalloped edge and a lineup of patterns that look like they could have been collected over the years: Green Patterned, Sky, Turquoise, Canary, Ochre, Neutral, Marigolds and Green Floral. Made from 100 percent cotton and machine-washable, they’re less about being matchy-matchy and more about creating a bed that feels designed, not decorated.
