Home Again from Nancy Meyers and Hallie Meyers-Shyer

A new Nancy Meyers produced movie HOME AGAIN (written and directed by her daughter Hallie Mayers-Shyer) is always reason to get excited. First off, they are usually good, frothy fun with a good cast and a nice ending. But more, they usually feature spectacular interiors and settings that have become nearly iconic such as the Beth Rubino interiors for Something’s Gotta Give. 

And now we have a Reese Witherspoon inhabiting in a California house that looks, well, quite a lot like a Reese Witherspoon house.  The movie is about a recently separated 40-year old who decides to move back to her hometown of LA with her two young daughters and ends up letting three young guys (aspiring movie makers) move into her guest house. Hijinks and romance ensue. Then the ex played by Michael Sheen wants to come home, too. Hijincks, romance and drama. Actually – doesn’t it feel a bit like a re-tread of It’s Complicated?

Oh well… on to the important part, the interiors.

Didn’t Reese own a house that looks like this not long ago?

The color palette is certainly very clear – neutral off-white, reds, pinks and some blues. Big cushy sofas, slightly bo-ho. The house doesn’t appear quite as grand as those in other Nancy Meyers movies, but it still looks like a beautiful home. This all looks very Kathryn Ireland inspired.

HOME AGAIN Production Designer is Ellen Brill who has worked as a set decorator for primarily television series such as American Horror Story, The New Normal, Parenthood (though only 10 episodes credited), and Nip/Tuck among others. The Set Decorator is Nicole Cates whose IMDB page shows only 1 credit prior to this movie, which is as a “shopper” for the tv show Path To War back in 2002. I can’t help but wonder if Nancy Meyers herself did the decorating and Ms. Cates put her vision into place and gets the credit for it. It’s a big coup for her career, no doubt.

  1. Hi, I’m researching blue and white decor for a wedding. Do you know the dinnerware pattern that’s blue and white on the dining table scene in the movie Home Again? Thank you so much!

  2. Hi! I know this is an older post, but I’m searching in vain for the name of the curtain fabric in above photos. It is cream with red/green flowers that almost have a paisley look to them. Can you please find the name of this fabric? It was quite popular a few years ago; I would love to use it in my kitchen!

  3. What about the paint colors in Home Again? Those had to be regular colors since it was shot in the actual house. I am wanting the paint color in the room with the couches. Anyone know what the color names are or brand?

    • Hi Robbie – I’ve never seen the paint colors listed, unfortunately. The house was once owned by Cindy Crawford and it was featured in Elle Decor, but it was a long time ago and probably has been repainted anyway.

  4. Hi Linda,
    I just watched home again and loved the decor. Would you happen to know the particulars of the bed sheets that look so amazing?

    Thanks

  5. Hi Linda,

    Long time viewer – first time caller. Any idea on the source of the black and white line drawings above the bed and in the living room above the mantel? Clearly the same artist for both locations – though I’ve searched endlessly to no avail.

  6. I love the sofa in this movie. Any idea where it can be purchased or who made it? It looks like a linen slipcover over down cushions.

    • Hi Janet – I don’t know the interior paint color. It does look like the same color, throughout but haven’t seen the color mentioned. My friend Joni at https://cotedetexas.blogspot.com has done some posts on the various prior owners of this house with photos (Cindy Crawford to name one) and it’s gone from white to off white to a creamy off-white. The filming also can change the color – if they shoot it with a warm filter versus cooler one, for instance. It’s usually better to just look for a paint color that gives you a similar look in your own house.

      • Thx Linda! I read they didn’t need to change the paint color they liked it as is so the posts should help a lot. I’ll check it out. Thank you!

  8. That house! That creamy, dreamy Southern California enclave that’s decorated in so many sunlight-reflecting shades of white and beige that it’s like being wrapped in a pillowy, line-fresh duvet or enveloped in cupcake batter. – AD

  9. I loved the movie!! Wasn’t expecting it to be so light hearted. But more importantly, I absolutely fell in love with her red head board. I need it in my life!! Will be working on making a copycat asap.
