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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 24.4 x 2.7 x 28.5 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 1906417857 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1906417857 | | Item Weight | 500 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 224 pages | | Publication Date | 21 Mar. 2013 | | Publisher | Jacqui Small | ## Images ![Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur: Romance and revival in an English country house - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717bJiczWXL.jpg) ![Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur: Romance and revival in an English country house - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZKRjXNMyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heaven! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 June 2013* This is the best interiors book that has been published for a very long time. That is because it is all about style, and not about fashion. Fashion is a nasty vulgar thing, imitative, meretricious and all about money. The Hunting Lodge has always had a great fascination ...that exquisite brick façade and the John Fowler association. Mr Haslam has been brave to shape it in his own image and I was almost afraid to discover what he has made of it. The result is absolutely charming, absolutely individual, while acknowledging (in the language of decoration) the imprint of his hallowed predecessor. I really love the resolute individuality of his style, I relish a vicarious enjoyment of the pleasure it has given him to invent new ways of looking at familiar spaces. My own idea of decorating (not a good word but I can't think of another as immediate) is that one's house ought to look as though one has brought down a chair from the attic which just happens to look rather good in a particular room. This is Mr Haslam's style par excellence and of course it takes imagination, experimentation and a perceptive eye. The photographs are very good, the text interesting and amusing throughout. A huge pleasure to possess. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Folly *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 May 2013* As with anything Nicky touches the end result is one of pure genius and beauty . The simplicity which he has used in this , his private home is a far cry from the wonderful lavish and marvellous creations and designs he offers his international clients . Not only has he created a home which is quiet , warm and comfortable but a garden which reflects and supports the Folly which is Nicky's home . THe colours inside his home are equally cooling and " Country " and yet warm and cosy in the winter .One can take many ideas from this gorgeous home and asstill dream of the marvel he has created .Thank-you Nicky for allowing us to see inside and share your home . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book, Fast Shipping *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 June 2019* Decided to order this book after seeing reviews. Very happy with the quality of the book I received and the prompt shipping. I live in US, so it's nice to be able to order books in original UK edition that I might not otherwise have access to. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nicky Haslam's Folly de Grandeur: Romance and revival in an English country house - Redeeming Features: A Memoir --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/58890736-nicky-haslams-folly-de-grandeur-romance-and-revival-in-english](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/58890736-nicky-haslams-folly-de-grandeur-romance-and-revival-in-english) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
