Now that summer is here we could all use a good day indoors for a good movie when the rain hits or it’s just too hot to handle. I love me a good movie that has a beautiful home to get me inspired. For real, is it just me??? When I am watching TV, movies, commercials…I can’t help myself but to stare at the beautiful backgrounds of the homes they feature. I am sharing a few of my favorite movie homes today to get you inspired for a little relaxing.
The relaxing coastal and traditional feel of this home is truly inspirational. Based in the Hamptons, it has what a true Hampton home should feel like. The Mora clock, built ins with white dishes, and the beautiful large kitchen with soapstone counters, gets me every time!
Next! It’s Complicated! another Nancy Meyers movie, she just has the best movie sets! This home blew me away! I’m ready to move!
Yep, I know another Nancy Meyers movie…Home again is so good! I love this movie and I love this home. Reese Witherspoon also plays an interior designer, so I kind of love that!
OHhh the Notebook, classic summer romance movie! A fav of mine I have to watch at least every few years. It’s probably a combo of visual inspiration in this movie. The fashion, time period, Ryan Gosling (lol), you know all of it! But the house especially exterior is a DREAM!
Back to Nancy-lol for real her movies are all about the background!
Oh my French lovin’ copper fanatic heart, loves this movie!!!
Get the LOOK!
So, I could probably go on and on with Nancy Meyer’s since all the looks here besides the Notebook and Julie and Julia are from her movies. A few are Christmas though like the Holiday so I’ll skip that since we are talking about Summer movies. Let me know if you have seen any of these or adding them to your movie bucket list this summer.
P.S. what’s your favorite? I may have to go with “It’s Complicated” but it’s a strong 2nd with Somethings Gotta Give.

My favorite movie interior set design is from Something’s Got to Give. I think I rewatch only to set the house. lol
lol yesss!!!!
What a neat post Deb and I to love checking out the backdrop and design work in movies. A few of these I have not seen so adding those to my list for this summer.
yes, definitely they are so good and if you don’t like the movie at least you’ll like the background lol
The English Cottage in The Holiday. Gah! I just love it! Wish it was mine.
Funny…..when the movie Something’s Gotta Give came out, I was also all about the background and how the rooms were decorated. Loved that house so much I got online and saved as many photos of the interior as I could!!!! I have an album on my Google Photos and enjoy (and dream) looking at them over and over again. Another “cottage” interior that I did the same with is from the movie The Holiday. I could happily live there!!!!
Lol and for real that house could still be in style today.
Definitely INTERN! Love!
That kitchen is so fab!
As a designer, Nancy Meyer has always been a favorite. Her work is all about lived in and “home” without the “decorator” look. Charming is always the underscore.
perfectly described!
This is so fun! I too am always noticing the homes’ features inside and out, etc. when I watch these kinds of movies. I’ve seen all except “Home Again” and now I need to watch because that outdoor brick patio is to die for. The kitchen in “It’s Complicated” has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks for reminding me of all this yummy inspiration! 🙂
Absolutely! It was a fun post to write.
In “something’s gotta give” the counters in the kitchen are not soapstone…they are painted plywood. They wanted that look without spending the $ to replace it for the movie.
Well clearly they did a good job because they had me fooled.
I love the ones you picked as well as; The Holiday ( Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz) very different styles but both are beautiful. Also ; Passion of Mind , an older Demi Moore
Beth- you’re the only person I have ever even heard of who knows Passion of Mind. It’s my all time favorite movie and yes very different homes in it also!
Love these houses! I also love the beach house on Grace and Frankie.
Best breakdown, thanks for sharing <3
Practical Magic, house and garden set by the ocean. I read the movie built the house just for the movie and then tore it down afterwards. Love the kitchen, but that attached conservatory/greenhouse room off the kitchen is spectacular.

Some of my favorites too! Father of the Bride and Practical Magic are two more that I love the houses in!
A few people told me about Practical Magic, now I have to add that to my bucket list of movies to watch. Also, I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I’ve never seen Father of the bride.
