A Nancy Meyers-Inspired San Francisco Apartment: Our Green Street Project

At Together Home Design Studio, one of the requests we hear often from clients is for spaces that feel timeless, welcoming, and stylish — interiors that balance everyday function with a touch of charm. For our Green Street project in San Francisco, the homeowner had one clear vision: “a little Nancy Meyers.” ✨
As interior designers based in the Bay Area, we love this reference. Nancy Meyers’ interiors — whether in Something’s Gotta Give or It’s Complicated — embody the perfect blend of comfort, sophistication, and lived-in warmth. They are aspirational yet approachable, layered with details that feel personal and intentional. For this San Francisco apartment, located in a 1929 building, we set out to capture that same feeling while celebrating the home’s historic architecture and incredible natural light.
1. Attention to Detail: Charming Accents
One of the most Nancy Meyers-like touches we added was a small painting tucked within the wainscotting — a little vignette of San Francisco. This detail grounds the space in its location and adds unexpected charm, making the home feel uniquely tied to its city and history.
2. Natural Light: Timeless and Airy
Nancy Meyers interiors are famous for their light-filled rooms, and this apartment had the best starting point: expansive windows framing sweeping views of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. We leaned into that natural beauty by keeping the palette fresh and bright — white walls paired with plush linen furniture. The result is an interior that feels airy and timeless, with the view itself as the star.
3. A Mix of Old and New: Layered Character
Meyers’ homes always include pieces with history and soul. In this project, we styled the client’s grandmother’s original lithographs and vintage chairs alongside a walnut cabinet from @fourhands. We layered in vintage books, collected glassware, and more modern accents to strike the right balance of old and new — avoiding anything that feels sterile or “decorated.”
