Annie and Hallie’s dad’s home in The Parent Trap (1998) is set in a vineyard in Napa valley, with stunning decor that combines luxury with comfort. Surrounded by sprawling olive trees and Californian sunshine, this spacious porch and its stunning patio doors create the perfect space for indoor/outdoor living. It’s a little slice of Mediterranean style in the Californian sunshine.

The house swap rom-com that is The Holiday (2006) gives us endless home inspiration between the U.K. and the U.S. Iris’ cottage in Surrey is a beautiful nod to English countryside decor, with exposed wooden beams, floral textiles, and Victorian-style rugs giving us a warm, rustic feel that doesn’t feel outdated.
