Pink is my favorite color, but I've always been nervous to decorate with it. Though touches of pink are broadly acceptable, a room swathed in pink feels taboo; it's too feminine, too bold, and too gaudy for everyday living. Photos of Audrey Hepburn's library blew my preconceptions out of the water.
A 1971 archival image shows the office space in the actress's meditative estate, 'La Paisible', and it's full of ideas for decorating a pink room chicly. Audrey's final home was located in the village of Tolochenaz, Switzerland, near Lake Geneva, serving as her sanctuary from 1963 until she died in 1993. Accordingly, the design feels like an escape from the outside world, full of personality and warmth.
