India Hicks' Favorite Under-$100 Pieces for an Island-Chic Home

13 Things You Need to Create an Island Chic Abode

If there's anyone who knows how to live a chic, beach-y lifestyle, it's India Hicks. The designer, who's both decorating and real-life royalty (her father is interiors icon David Hicks, and her grandfather was Lord Mountbatten, former Viceroy of India) lives the island life every day in her family's Harbour Island, Bahamas, home. Hicks is also a celebrity designer on the virtual decorating site Decorist, where she creates rooms that showcase Union Jacks and lush palms, all a nod to her British roots and her adopted Caribbean home.

Hicks launched her namesake brand last year, and its a craft collection of items, from candles to clutches, with tons of beautiful options at great prices. We asked her for her favorite island-inspired finds from around the web under $100. Check them out below.

"I remember [partner] David's delight when on a visit to Bombay I was not allowed into the all-men's club," she recalls. "As a woman, I was asked to sit on a rattan chair in the hallway while the men enjoyed a drink at the bar. Now at home, I'm allowed to drink with the boys."

"In the tropics, a pineapple is a sign of welcome," Hicks says. "Any self-respecting home has a pineapple in one form or another. And why not be able to drink from one?"
