The 1970s-style backyard furniture of Anne Hathaway is the most playful and elegant I have ever seen – a masterclass in integrating trendy patterns with intention.
The backyard of actress Anne Hathaway, designed by the renowned Studio Shamshiri, is a masterclass in decorating outdoor spaces with patterns and colors. Her porch features two matching wicker sofas accented with checkered covers and striped cushions. Their bright checkered covers create the perfect contrast with the gray stone patio and the surrounding greenery. They bring a cozy and inviting feel to the space. Anne’s round wooden coffee table blends natural materials with refined design.
Shamshiri’s use of checkered patterns stands out. Decorating with checkers has been trendy since early 2024, tapping into broader movements toward retro and nostalgic interiors. In the wake of an extremely fast-paced trend cycle, consumers are looking for classic patterns that offer a sense of comfort and longevity. I really love how the checkered covers on Anne’s sofas present a modern and elevated approach to the look rather than something too traditional. It makes the entire space feel both contemporary and cozy.
I also find Anne’s designer’s choice to use the checkered trend in outdoor spaces extremely striking. The clean lines of the pattern contrast sharply with the natural shapes of the landscape, creating a visually appealing combination. The red and blue color choices further enhance this distinction. I also love how Shamshiri pairs the checkered covers with wicker furniture to give the whole look a grounded and natural feel.
Whether as a permanent feature, like a checkered outdoor sofa, or through more temporary accessories such as blankets and cushions, adding this pattern to your backyard furniture is a simple way to refresh your outdoor decor and give it a retro and maximalist touch.
Anne Hathaway is a constant source of inspiration, and her backyard is no exception. When you think outside the box about where to include pattern and color, you can’t go wrong.
