The Return of Rom-Com Aesthetic: A Timeless Trend

Flower Team Real Estate • July 8, 2024

Recently, the charm and allure of rom-com aesthetics have seen a resurgence, captivating hearts and homes alike. This beloved style, reminiscent of the romantic comedies that defined the '90s and early 2000s, is making a stylish comeback. At the heart of this trend are the timeless influences of Nancy Meyers' movies and the endearing visual style of Father of the Bride.


Rom-com style is characterized by its warm, inviting, and often whimsical elements that evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia. Think of airy, light-filled interiors, plush furniture, and a soft, neutral colour palette with pops of pastel. It’s a style that marries classic elegance with cozy, lived-in charm, making spaces feel both sophisticated and approachable.๏ปฟ

Nancy Meyers, a master of this aesthetic, has crafted iconic films such as Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday, and It's Complicated. Her movies often feature impeccably designed interiors that have become almost as famous as the plots and characters themselves. Meyers' signature look includes spacious kitchens with gleaming countertops, open shelving displaying carefully curated crockery, and inviting living areas adorned with plush sofas, throw blankets, and tasteful yet personal decor.


Father of the Bride, another quintessential example, captures the essence of rom-com style with its idyllic suburban setting and charming, elegant interiors. The Banks' family home is a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary design, featuring soft hues, floral patterns, and an overall warm ambiance that feels both timeless and intimately familiar.

Key elements of rom-com aesthetics include:

Soft, Neutral Colour Palettes: Creams, whites, and pastels dominate, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere

Plush Furniture: Comfortable sofas, overstuffed armchairs, and an abundance of cushions and throws invite relaxation and conversation.

Personalized Decor: Spaces are filled with personal touches—family photos, vintage finds, and unique art pieces—that tell a story and add character. Vintage pieces are a core part of the rom-com décor aesthetic, but the key is to personalize it with heirlooms and objects that inspire you, says Belcourt. Maybe it’s a seashell collection from beaches you’ve personally wandered, an old clock passed down from your grandparents, or a piece of furniture that evokes joy every time you see it.๏ปฟ

Natural Light: Large windows and open spaces allow for plenty of natural light, enhancing the airy and open feel of the interiors.

Elegant yet Casual: There’s a perfect balance between elegance and casual comfort, making spaces feel refined but not overly formal.

The Nancy Meyers' aesthetic is trending on TikTok and popping up on Pinterest boards everywhere. Home decor enthusiasts are sharing their Meyers-inspired spaces, complete with white marble countertops, cozy reading nooks, and perfectly mismatched antique finds. The hashtag #NancyMeyersaesthetic is filled with creative interpretations of her iconic style, showcasing how to blend traditional and modern elements seamlessly.


The resurgence of rom-com aesthetics reflects a desire for comfort, familiarity, and a touch of nostalgia in our living spaces. As more people seek to create homes that are not only stylish but also deeply personal and inviting, it’s no wonder that this charming and timeless trend is once again capturing our hearts. Whether you’re a fan of Nancy Meyers' movie magic or the classic charm of Father of the Bride, incorporating rom-com elements into your home is a delightful way to embrace this enduring style.
