The very idea of life on a tropical island appeals to the popular imagination: the sea, the sky, the sand, the tranquillity,
the escape-from-it-all . . . Imagine the white linen and straw hats; hibiscus and palm trees; languid cocktails taken on the veranda; the intense colour and the sound of the sea. This fantasy is reality to India Hicks, David Flint Wood and
their two children.
This is the first book to reveal the secrets of India Hicks' style which have long been championed by style gurus such as Ralph Lauren, who shot his catalogue at their home. It is the perfect location - the rooms reflect the cool influence of colonial living; the views from the verandas take in the colours of the Caribbean, and India's "tablescapes" create endless talking points.
Over the past five years, India and David have impeccably restored, built or redecorated three houses and one hotel on the island. Each interior reflects India's keen sense of colour and style, inherited in part from her father, David Hicks, and influenced by her travels with David Flint Wood to India and Africa, and from the wealth of Caribbean style that surrounds them.
