Justin talks to the fabulous Amanda Lindroth, interior designer and queen of rattan and breezy sophisticationThe Tea for Two series was created over the Coronavirus Lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; a moment when we desperately wanted to have someone round for a cup of tea and a slice of cake and were missing those previously taken for granted moments of human connection. A moment too where we wanted to be inspired and to learn and to do something that wasn't work, or just existing. Used to so much exposure to the brilliant minds of the interior design world, I felt stagnant and yes, like all of us did, a little lonely. So I decided to reach out to my network and invite them to join me for a virtual Tea for To where we discussed all things design, and life (in lockdown and outside of it). Over the series I talk to a broad range of brilliant and bold designers, artists and makers from across the globe and who impart a little of their expert knowledge and invariable humour. The series was originally formatted as instagram lives but we have taken those videos and turned them into an audio series, if you would like to watch the series they can be found on our Instagram or YouTube pages.

Tea for Two with Amanda Lindroth

Growing up in Palm Beach in the 1970s, Amanda experienced Florida at its most magical. The style, the architecture, the climate – it would all imprint on her, taking root and blossoming throughout the years. Through her 20s, Amanda worked at WWD and W magazine, as well as PR for Gucci and other luxury brands in New York, Paris and London. In her 30s, she moved to Nassau full-time and applied her design eye to her own home, then to properties associated with her husband’s development company, and eventually for friends who became clients (and, of course, clients who became friends). Throughout her work, she kept the focus on breezy sophistication and vibrant layers of texture and color – the hallmarks of inviting spaces to host family and friends.

Designer Amanda Lindroth joined us all the way from the Bahamas to chat with us about her home collection, book, her interior design work, and all of the joys (and difficulties) of decorating homes in your favorite vacation spots. We even talk about the Dunmore Hotel where she used our upholstery pieces. You'll be shocked to hear all that goes into maintaining this beautiful property! What You’ll Hear on This Episode:   Trials of towels hanging on display where they don’t need to be, soapy stoves, crazy sinks and backordered rugs.   Triumphs over a beautiful blue outdoor rug, sink and special chair finds.   Amanda would have been a designer sooner if she knew that was a viable option!   Amanda grew up living in a house with perfect mathematical scale, and that taught her about proportion right off the bat.   What it was like for Amanda to grow up in South Florida in the 1970’s, and how it influenced her design now in the Bahamas.   What people look for when decorating on an island home and resort. Warning — this will make you want to go on vacation ASAP!   Amanada was intentional with learning about color, and studied it in a serious and motivated fashion.   Why Amanda loves a pink wall, and it can be a neutral to go with everything.   Why decorating for people’s second and third homes can often be easier, but they still may get sticker shock when it comes to tax and duties of the island!   How Amanda navigates doing business in so many locations, and having a team all over the world.   Setting a tone for using timeless antiques with a modern and contemporary touch.   The places to spend money and really invest in great quality pieces, and what areas we can super glue it all together.   Amanda’s thrift shop mentality suites life in the Bahamas well, and it’s not easy to replace things so she pays attention to every single thing she brings in and how she can reuse and recycle.   Amanda’s book, Island Hopping, that takes us everywhere from Antigua to Cranberry Island.   What we can expect next from the Amanda Lindroth product line, including lighting in early 2010.

Ep. 103: designer Amanda Lindroth

Nassau-based interior designer Amanda Lindroth has a knack for evoking the breezy elegance of island life, wherever she goes—including Guangzhou, China. A few years ago, she and her CEO, Austin Painter, embarked on a road trip to various factories in Asia to produce her debut line of accessories and decor. Since then, she’s been busy, fine-tuning her collection and growing her brand. In the latest episode of the Business of Home podcast, she chats with host Dennis Scully about her picturesque Florida upbringing, her hiring strategy, and why it’s not what goes wrong—it’s how you react that’s most important.
