Step inside the extraordinary homes of Nancy Lancaster, the American-born tastemaker who helped define the English country house style and became one of the most influential figures in 20th-century interior design.

From Kelmarsh Hall and Ditchley Park to Haseley Court and her legendary London rooms, Lancaster created interiors that felt elegant, comfortable, layered, and deeply personal. Her approach mixed fine antiques with faded fabrics, generous upholstery, old paintings, rich color, and rooms designed to be genuinely lived in. Together with John Fowler and the firm Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler, she helped shape an aesthetic that continues to influence English interiors today.

In this video, we tour Nancy Lancaster’s most memorable homes and interiors, explore the stories behind their decoration, and look closely at the details that made her style so distinctive. We’ll visit the grand country houses she transformed, Haseley Court, and her famous London apartment, including the celebrated yellow drawing room that became one of the best-known rooms in British decorating history.

If you love English country houses, historic interiors, traditional decorating, antiques, grand estates, Colefax and Fowler, and the timeless world of classic British design, this is a story filled with inspiration.
