Meg Ryan is a Hollywood icon, I mean the landscape of 90s romantic comedy wouldn't be the same without her. As Hollywood needs Meg Ryan, so now do those looking for interior design inspiration as she has given her kitchen a major makeover and we are taking notes.
The When Harry Met Sally actress, 61, took to Instagram to share before and after photos of the kitchen in her glamorous New York home with her 596 thousand followers. Having previously bought a modern farmhouse-style home in Montecito for $5.25 million, the actress sold that home in October 2021 for $13.3 million and bought her current home – a stunning property in the same area with that same rustic farmhouse feel.
The director and star of the upcoming Christmas rom-com What Happens Later showed off a grand kitchen area with high beamed ceilings and an impressive agar. The Sleepless in Seattle star has opted for a black theme for her cabinetry, doors, and woodwork in the space and added a touch of Hollywood glamour with the gorgeous grey marble backsplash and worktops.

She offered fans a glimpse into one of her kitchen cupboards which has tall arched doors in a rustic mahogany and features a neutral floral wallpaper as a backdrop to several shelves holding tasteful white and navy crockery. The same wallpaper is carried through to a statement wall elsewhere in the room.

The room features modern lighting with exposed bulbs and brick walls painted white but the grey sofa with scattered cushions feels plush and homely.
