In Audrey Hepburn's garden, no corner goes unused. An archival image from 1971 shows how the actress transformed a forgotten, shady spot into a gorgeous outdoor entertaining area – it's a timeless design moment that continues to inspire our approach to outdoor living in 2026.
The secluded garden idea is part of Audrey's 'La Paisible' (meaning 'The Peaceful') property in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, where she lived from 1963 until she died in 1993. La Paisible was always about escape for Audrey, serving as a tranquil site to raise her family, and her beautiful outdoor dining space is no exception.
It features a luncheon table covered in a flower-patterned tablecloth with swirling iron outdoor chairs. The table features a collection of modern glassware, including a green carafe and glasses (like these chic glasses from Anthropologie), with a grouping of pink and yellow roses in a silver vase brightening the look.
