The beauty of Anne Hathaway’s large backyard patio (which she shared on Instagram) lies in a number of factors, according to landscape designer Nathan Heinrich, including the very landscape itself.
In Homes & Gardens, Heinrich described the actor’s patio as being picture-perfect. “Mature citrus trees, native oaks, and specimen succulents encircle the terrace’s stone retaining wall and offer both privacy and contrast to the earthy elements while perfectly framing the panoramic view of the desert hills,” he said. Already gorgeous in its surroundings, the choices of Hathaway and designer Pamela Shamshiri set the tone for a warm and endlessly inviting exterior space.
A wood timber pergola arches above, twined with vines and more greenery, while a stone floor in warm yellow and gold tones provides a birth for rich wicker furniture, patterned cushions, and a stunning wood tree slab table that evokes both midcentury design and old European flavor. The stone fireplace serves as a big focal point and provides coziness and warmth on chillier California nights. The laid-back bohemian feel of the space evokes the casual glamor of 1970s Hollywood.
