“My tips for creating a traditional, cozy home on a budget,” she said.
Nancy Meyer’s look consists of pure cottage core, wooden furniture, custom sofas, wool rugs and bookshelves.
All in all a wonderfully cozy appearance. But just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither will this aesthetic.
It could take years, Juliana warned. But she shared her tips to help you put together your cozy home look.
She’s distilled her list down to a few choice items with search terms for the best results on Facebook Marketplace.
CARPETS
But not just any old rug. Even used, these may be a bit pricey.
Facebook Marketplace
A cozy home with Nancy Meyer’s aesthetic could be yours and the secret is Facebook Marketplace. She also uses eBay.
Tips:

- Don’t be afraid of items that show wear or tear: that’s all part of the look
But it will be worth it for these aesthetics.
Search terms:

WOODEN CHEST GOODS
Wood goes with everything, but it has to be a specific type of wood.
Mahogany, for example, is much too red for a cozy atmosphere, says Juliana.

CUSTOM BENCH
There is a very special look for a sofa if you want to stick to the style guide for a cozy core.
Rolled arms and a skirt are what it’s all about.
Custom sofas are best and Juliana realizes they are pricey.

Lamps are very important to complete the look.
But not just any old lamp.

Books are another excellent way to add layers to a room.
Juliana only buys second-hand books for her coffee table.

“Maximism goals,” another fan joked.
“This is my new decor bible,” said a third fan.
