Just looking at Nicole Richie these days, it's easy to see the mother of two has a pretty chill vibe. So, it's no surprise that she wanted her Laurel Canyon home's backyard to be a place where dining alfresco is a relaxing experience. Richie gave her outdoor space a makeover and gave Domaine Home an exclusive sneak peek.

The first step in creating this dreamy yard was figuring out her color palette. Richie admitted that before, the colors were "all over to place." She finally narrowed her hues down to turquoise, yellow, and black. "It was important to me to keep the color palette strong but not too overpowering. We're all about having everything be really eclectic and relaxed."

Little accents like clear globe lights from Target, lanterns from Pottery Barn and flatware from West Elm, created a seriously inviting space for Richie to host an amazing outdoor dinner party. Of course, Richie's "no assigned seating" rule also makes guests feel welcomed. "I like people to come to my house and feel like they can do whatever they want," she said.

Scroll through to see photos of her amazing space, and be sure to head over to Domaine Home for more information.
