Historical farmhouses, quadrangular farms and castle farms form an important part of the heritage of the Low Countries.

More and more interior designers, architects, restorers and private individuals with a passion for old buildings are realising that this heritage must not be lost.

Now that there is a constant decrease in the number of active farms, more ancient farmhouses are finding new owners. They are being restored to make contemporary residential farms, with all modern comforts and luxury, but with the authentic character and the surrounding natural landscape as additional bonuses.

This book is a plea for a reassessment of this rich, rural architectural history. Whether it’s a seventeenth-century convent farm, a nineteenth-century long-fronted farmhouse, or the stylistically faithful reproduction of an authentic eighteenth-century farm complex, these unique creations all combine the past and the present, the house and its rural surroundings in a stunning way.

Iconic brand Farrow & Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm of craftsmen paint-makers, specializing in paints made in the traditional way with traditional ingredients. Despite its global success, Farrow & Ball has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of its eco-friendly paints, with their exceptional depth and subtlety of colour, that has made the company famous. They look as good on the walls of a contemporary bathroom or slick Soho flat as they do in a period ballroom and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle.

Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Country House and Cottage, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers used in a wide range of interiors. All the homes are British and share a sense of style, and an appreciation of the visual and emotional power of paint and colour. Part Two is devoted to colour. From the themes of All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly, Dark and Handsome and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how colour can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm.
