India Hicks: Island Style #hot book #droolon!

Do you know India Hicks?
Model, author, mother of five, wife and designer she and her partner David Flint Wood live out the ultimate escape fantasy ! They traded in the rat race in London for a glamorous life on Harbour Island in the Bahamas in the mid 1990’s. Daughter of famed interior decorator David Hicks she has design in her blue blood. Her mother Pamela Hicks, is the daughter of the Earl and Countess Mountbatten of Burma. Her grandfather was the last Viceroy of India, after whom she was named.
She has now launched her third book India Hicks: Island Style: a beautifully illustrated guide to achieving her famously undone, gloriously bohemian decorating style.
‘Born from British and design royalty, India Hicks has forged a design empire from her family’s enclave in the Bahamas. In India Hicks: Island Style, she invites readers into her world, offering never-before-seen imagery and irresistible behind-the-scenes stories.
Beginning with an uproarious reflection on India’s own design odyssey, the heart of the book is an in-depth exploration of her style. Timeless and under-decorated, her rooms combine carefree Caribbean culture with British colonial form and formality.
In ten chapters, India walks the reader through the basics of capturing the look: the subtle palette of island life; the warm anarchy of a family kitchen; the pleasure of porches; the drama of entertaining; bedrooms as places of self-expression; the “more is more” style of living with collections and creating spaces of sanctuary. Witty, richly prescriptive, beautifully photographed, this book will enchant readers with a glimpse of decorating in paradise’. Drool on ! Read more here at Lonny magazine.
