In all their versatility and timelessness, there was something about neutral living rooms that never stopped me in my tracks. They're always beautiful, but without the right layering, they risk feeling slightly vanilla, or worse yet, somewhat uninspiring. After seeing Cameron Diaz's ultra-stylish living room, however, I admit I was wrong.
For me, Cameron's cream living room has redefined soft neutrals going forward. In her space, she's used the subtle tone as a base before layering with deep rust hues, wooden accessories, and a beautiful rattan light fixture.
The combination of more earthy hues (the marble, wood, and rattan) means the room feels anything but flat. It's grounding, well-curated, and not overpowering, yet I can't look away. If any space will carry the quiet luxury trend into 2026, it's this one.

While we (sadly) can't all own a Montecito farmhouse, we can still replicate Cameron's style on a smaller scale. I've even started bringing some of her style into my tiny apartment via these gorgeous velvet pillows, similar to those seen on her sofa.
Below, I've handpicked some essential buys to help you upgrade any neutral living space and create a room that will resonate with people long after they leave your home.
If you were to glance at Cameron's living room, her rattan pendant light stands out the most. This dupe is the perfect alternative to her statement piece. It's a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, featuring a scalloped dome shade made from intricately woven natural rattan.
This French bouclé sofa, crafted in a designer-inspired style, is the perfect foundation for recreating Cameron’s look. Built with exceptional craftsmanship and high-density foam, it offers superior comfort while effortlessly becoming the focal point of your living room.
Though it’s summer, this piece offers a gentle nod to the upcoming fall season, and is an easy way to capture Cameron’s style without a significant investment. Best of all, it looks beautiful year-round and pairs effortlessly with any sofa color.
The easiest way to layer with textures is through accessories, such as a wooden vase. Cameron Diaz keeps such a piece in the centre of her coffee table, but you can achieve a similar effect by placing this on a shelf or side table. Each vase is completely unique, meaning it's a one-of-a-kind piece that will impress for years to come. Display fresh or dried botanicals for the ultimate Hollywood-inspired look.
Upholstered in a soft neutral fabric, this chair’s low back and gracefully flared arms create a silhouette that feels both refined and enduring. A true staple piece, its classic design will remain stylish for generations, easily complementing living rooms of any size (yes, even in my tiny apartment).
Forged in cast iron, these candleholders stem from the natural tones and textures seen throughout Soho House Barcelona. They aim to bring an old money charm to any dinner setting and look great standing alone or as a statement pair. Place them on your mantelpiece for a look that Cameron Diaz would surely love.
