How to Live like Meghan Markle

(With Love, Meghan)

Netflix’s With Love, Meghan has all of us daydreaming of Montecito life… 

Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor and Art Director, Olivia Sauerwein, shares her expert advice on ‘live like Meghan’ and bring the show’s look home.

• Keep to a calming palette: “Meghan Markle’s style is synonymous with chic and timeless neutrals, and this is even more apparent in the interiors for her new show. Crisp white and biscuity beige rule the overall colour palette and create an atmosphere which feels clean, warm and cosy. These neutrals are complemented by soft blue accent hues, from nostalgic baby blue to elegant dusty blue with grey undertones, which creates an intentionally calming scheme which is reflective of nature.”`

• Go natural: “Meghan balances polished interiors with rustic accessories and curated clutter, for a look that feels effortlessly homely. Wooden serving boards make for a great decorative backdrop whilst being endlessly practical - mix old and new to save money and create a more authentic look. To help your kitchen feel even more fresh and inviting, opt for living herbs in planters and free your fruits and veggies from the cupboard to display them out in the open in a large bowl or on a platter, which can be switched out creatively as the seasons change.”

• Embrace the theatrical: “Whether you’re celebrating with a big group or simply hosting your closest friends, a get-together at home is the perfect excuse to put on a show. Invest in tabletop items that you truly love, whether it’s a matching dinnerware set, a statement candelabra or an elegant table runner, source homeware that is versatile for any occasion and will make your heart sing. You don’t need deep pockets to impress, homemade sandwiches and flowers picked from the garden will be just as appreciated by your guests and will really show that you’ve gone the extra mile.”

• Celebrate the little things: “Meghan’s show is all about finding joy in life’s small moments, which is a mantra we can all take forward. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet cup of tea in the garden on a sunny morning or a long soak in the bath, taking time to appreciate your surroundings is great food for the soul and will also deepen your connection with your home.”
