Island Hopping: Amanda Lindroth Design

By Amanda Lindroth, Tria Giovan (Photographer), Aldous Bertram (Illustrator)

Vendome Press $60.00

White duck, boldly colored fabrics in solids, stripes, and jaunty prints, rattan and cane seating, whitewashed or colorfully painted

English case furniture, canopied beds, straw matting, these are but some of the signature ingredients of an Amanda Lindroth interior.

The Florida-born designer decamped to Nassau some 20 years ago after stints in New York and London. Since she founded her firm in 2010, she has

become the go-to designer of island dwellers from Lyford Cay to Antigua, Abaco to Belize, Harbour Island to Palm Beach, and Southampton to Great Cranberry Island in

Maine. Her airy, relaxed, indoor-outdoor aesthetic, a hybrid that merges colonial and island influences, is apparent in every one of the 30 projects featured in Island

Hopping. With photographs by the masterly Tria Giovan, herself an island native, and charming illustrations by the gifted Aldous Bertram, the book is the visual equivalent

of an island getaway.

Orleans, and city residences in New York, Washington, D.C., and Memphis. Langham conjures his own brand of design magic by approaching his clients’ rooms with the

elegance.

Tom Scheerer Decorates By Mimi Read, Francesco Lagnese (Photographer)

Vendome $55.00 In a world where over-the-top accessorizing and conspicuous

luxury get all the attention, Tom Scheerer has cultivated his own, more restrained brand of chic, a look he modestly describes as

“cheerful” and “no nonsense.” In New York apartments, Brooklyn brownstones, Bahamian country clubs, and Maine summer

houses, Scheerer has created rooms that are crisp and confident, but also visually enthralling. The magic is in the way Scheerer combines classic, old-

fashioned decorating with modernist touches à la Albert Hadley and Billy Baldwin, but with a keener attention to natural materials, unpretentious vernacular crafts, and the

prettiest color combinations this side of India.
