Présentation de l'éditeur :

From its humble origins as a Tudor hunting lodge to its present-day status as a protected historic building, Nicky Haslam s delightful Folly de Grandeur is a unique English country house that is one of the renowned decorator s favourite places.
In this beautifully illustrated book, Part 1: A History of the House provides a timeline of the house together with an overview of the design aesthetics that characterize Haslam s look. Part 2: The Essence of Style covers wall finishes, soft furnishings, the transition from room to room, furniture form, style and arrangement, classical elements, and creating tableaux with objets and photographs.
In Part 3: A House for All Seasons, you will find a year-round appreciation of this remarkable home, which was once owned by John Fowler, co-founder of Colefax & Fowler. By recounting events from society gatherings to quiet country weekends stories about the rooms, and details about the decoration and
furnishings, Haslam reveals the personal touches that give the folly its unique sense of life, both indoors and out. Inviting us into his carefully preserved and lovingly decorated country home, he explains the intricacies and delights of carefully mismatched furniture collected over the years, a colour palette of subtle, warming tones that are quietly welcoming and effortlessly romantic, and a wonderful collection of art that is nothing short of inspirational. Finally, in Part 4: The Perfect Setting, Haslam shares unique garden design secrets and outdoor rooms that complement his celebrated home.

Revue de presse :
"For a glimpse of a real, and gorgeous, English country house, dip into Haslam’s splendid book. Haslam’s rooms look as though they’re loved. Things are allowed to age and shred and crumble, and therein lies their charm. The 192 pages of Folly de Grandeur, uncover every smart, cozy, and chic detail of the designer " ~New York Times

"The book covers five centuries of the house, living with its history, as well as the traditional garden, the furnishings, the comfort, versatility and ease of every corner. ...Every page and each image is a design lesson—from vignettes showing how to make sofas comfortable, to creating tableaux, classical elements, hallways, evening cocktails (his bar is inspiring), and entertaining with panache." ~thestylesaloniste.com

"...the fascinating story of the country house through color photographs so lush you will feel like you spent the night there." ~Array Magazine

"...a charming yet detailed look at how the English country house can be re-imagined for today (and for any country location) in his decades-long makeover of a historic country house. In this book, Haslam presents in detail his "folly de grandeur," a beautiful English country house lovingly tended for over 40 years, and known for its exquisite architecture and decoration, providing new insights into the enduring appeal of the English country house." ~Editoratlarge.com
