India Hicks: Island Style

Stunning photos of India Hick's design, lifestyle, and family on Harbour Island.

This isn't a book on decor, nor is it a book about lifestyle.Author India Hicks affords followers of her social media feeds a glimpse into her life, dispelling any notion that this lifestyle touted through her past product lines, books, and vacation homes is limited to only captivating pictures. A charming, self-effacing and inviting storyteller, Island Style is filled with interesting tales of her and her family's lives, going back through her heritage. It's this presumption of grandness of her aristocratic upbringing that is given a much needed dusting off and brought into the present. Her readers are taken from breathtaking photos of her horse-riding, tiara and tuxedo clad parents in the 1970's, to the present, when India Hicks is scraping cereal crud off steel bar stools and spray painting them red to save on money. Island Style is a refreshing book in the pantheon of books on decor, steering readers away from notions of 'perfection.' Being on an island everything in her house is either found nearby, reused, recycled, purchased used, inherited, or ordered (with some peril) over the internet, which echoes what the rest of us do, bringing us together on common ground.Hicks's approach is less about following current decorating trends, or getting stuck on one or two tricks, than it is following what makes her tick --which is curating a collection of objects that are practical, functional, interesting to create a look that is tactile, inviting, engaging and forever welcoming, giving everyone who reads or visits, a memorable experience.

Have enjoyed the book immensely. I have gifted it to others, and they love it as well.

Amazing stories from the Royal Family and a lot of inspiration for a beautiful life style

Beautiful photos, well written and a “must” for those who favor British Colonial style. Would have liked more details regarding specific rooms, this text is an overview of a home. Alas, Cheers to India!

I love all her books

This is a beautiful book. The photos are visually stimulating, and thoughtfully curated. I am enjoying reading about India's upbringing and her insights into design and a "life well lived". Although she has had a privileged life compared to many, she seems to have a grasp on what is important in life and celebrates authenticity. Well done.

very few exterior images, which is what I was looking for.

Un libro maravilloso, como todos los de India Hicks. Muy cuidado. Fotos maravillosas.

This is the second copy I’ve owned of this gorgeous and inspiring design and lifestyle book! You’ll reference it again and again!

The cover of this book is stunning. An interesting read into the life of living on an island. Truely beautiful.

A truly inspiring book which shows the eclectic taste of India Hicks. It is fascinating to see little details of the interors that reflect India's family heritage mixed with the typical exotic style of the Bahamas.

Beautiful pictures and interesting perspective
