NH Design Profile

Nicky Haslam is one of the worlds most distinguished and prolifically published interior designers renowned for his opulent, original and timeless interiors as seen in Architectural Digest, World of Interiors, Vogue, House and Garden, Elle Décor , and Traditional Home.

Whether working in a modern or traditional idiom, a Haslam interior transcends popular trends to express Nicky’s confident maturity of taste and mastery of scale.

With a prime motivation of creating interiors that will be ‘flattering to their owners’ his work is seductively glamorous, layered with an historical knowledge and an originality that belies the practical and livable considerations always achieved. Constantly breaking down boundaries, Haslam loves to use the completely unexpected and is renowned for his new effects – stunning silvered and gilded walls, linen carpets, sparkling mica ceilings, cut antique leather and Picasso-inspired fabric footstools and an eye for fabulous detail as evidensed by the Verre eglomise doors illustrated here. The mix of the deeply serious, grand and impressive, with charm and above all wit, is the Haslam trademark.
