India Hicks and Island Style

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">India Hicks is both design royalty and British royalty, so it makes sense that H.R.H. The Prince of Wales wrote the foreword to her forthcoming book, <i><a href="http://www.rizzoliusa.com/book.php?isbn=9780847845064" target="_blank">India Hicks: Island Style</a></i>. Rizzoli will release this title on March 31, 2015, and readers can discover how Ms. Hicks, the daughter of decorator David Hicks and Lady Pamela Hicks, has created "her famously undone, gloriously bohemian decorating style." Although the book promises "never-before-seen imagery," I offer some photos that have appeared in <i>Veranda</i>, <i>Traditional Home</i>, and <i>Coastal Living</i> as a sneak peek at the home India Hicks and her partner David Flint Wood have created for themselves and their children at Hibiscus Hill in the Bahamas.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEz-zKIuUqOZvM28Ocza7xhtAY0rB6JLFxvrKJEyGBmMXJgq6Zd3LYtx26kdyMLIpKJS1mJdtBOZeE5vR4qESn4Au_ryi3s71bnspQ3XU2RxHKAQ-Ed3RmJI_VRj6zF7Z935d-5nEwVhA/s1600/item0.rendition.slideshowVertical.india-hicks-island-style-book-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEz-zKIuUqOZvM28Ocza7xhtAY0rB6JLFxvrKJEyGBmMXJgq6Zd3LYtx26kdyMLIpKJS1mJdtBOZeE5vR4qESn4Au_ryi3s71bnspQ3XU2RxHKAQ-Ed3RmJI_VRj6zF7Z935d-5nEwVhA/s1600/item0.rendition.slideshowVertical.india-hicks-island-style-book-01.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Timeless and under-decorated, her rooms combine carefree Caribbean culture with British colonial form and formality."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cover of <i>India Hicks: Island Style</i> (Rizzoli, $45).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo courtesy of Rizzoli.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/ad/books/2015/india-hicks-island-style-book-slideshow" target="_blank">Interior Insights: India Hicks: Island Style</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Architectural Digest</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">India Hicks served as a bridesmaid at the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles, who is India's godfather and second cousin.
