This DIYer Transformed Her Bathroom From Basic Into a Nancy Meyers Dream Space, and It's So Inspiring
Out of all the rooms around the house, the bathroom tends to get overlooked when it comes to style.
It makes sense because compared to other areas of a space, they can be on the smaller side. Plus, even the most elevated bathrooms gravitate toward more neutral shades, so it can feel tricky to know exactly how to add personality to it.
It's especially challenging if you live in a cramped New York City apartment, but one DIYer didn't let that stop her. In fact, DIYer Emma Wilson (@wilsonaesthetic_) showed that there doesn't have to be a rulebook when it comes to styling a bathroom.
There are simple ways to make your bathroom feel just as fun and stylish as other rooms of the house.

It's probably been a minute since the Nancy Meyers aesthetic has popped up on your Instagram or TikTok feed, but Wilson leans into the viral style to transform her bathroom. (In case you need a quick refresh, it's all about making a space feel cozy and warm but elevated at the same time.)
While bathrooms aren't the settings that come to mind for Nancy Meyers favorites like The Parent Trap or The Holiday, this makeover might leave you inspired to channel the aesthetic in your own bathroom. In the video, Wilson shows her plain and purely functional apartment bathroom that, by the end, is unrecognizable in the best way thanks to a Nancy Meyers-style upgrade.

If your bathroom has been feeling boring, this makeover is packed with inspiration. Whether you want to go all in on changing up your bathroom or just add one or two new upgrades, there are plenty of ideas for accomplishing either.
It's "come a long way," Wilson says, explaining that she used the magic of peel-and-stick floor tiles, window film, peel-and-stick wallpaper and fun accessories, along with a flurry of thrifted and vintage accents. She also added drapes, a whimsical sink skirt and swapped out the outlet covers for extra charm.
It's a nice reminder that if you're not happy with a room in your house or apartment, it doesn't have to stay that way. When the right inspiration-like the Nancy Meyers aesthetic-strikes, all it takes is a little creativity to turn it into a space you love.
