It has been the 20th anniversary of Audrey Hepburn's death, but her performances and humanitarian work, as well as her inimitable style, natural beauty, and innate aristocratic demeanor, continue to captivate and inspire us at all levels. Curiously, the actress also stood out for her skills as a decorator, which she was able to put into practice with complete freedom in "La Paisible", the country house she bought in Switzerland when she was married to Mel Ferrer and which was her residence for the rest of her life.

Next to the Alps and Lake Geneva, the house is a stone construction XNUMXth century original with a white gate, and in the 60s it had a large back garden full of rose bushes, somewhat wild and with almost no sidewalks. Today it is private property and cannot be visited, but thousands of fans come to see the house, a nearby pavilion that was built in his memory, and the place where his remains rest in the cemetery of Tolochenaz, the town of farmers in the one Audrey used to socialize, away from Hollywood flashes.

The interiors were overflowing with delicacy and femininity, and show that relaxed conception of the beauty and elegance that characterized the actress. In the few images that we have, his taste for the simple life and his discretion is evident, choosing white as a decorative base with accents in pastel tones, mainly blue, green and pink. The materials also define that calm spirit in furniture and accessories: wickers, lacquered woods and natural fabrics such as cotton and linen. Flowers were the clear common denominator in vases, centers, patterned motifs or cushions, as an extension of his garden.
