Inside Amanda Lindroth's Nassau, Bahamas Home

- Interior designer Amanda Lindroth says she arrived in the Bahamas about 30 years ago and never left. Take a tour of her home, Hope Hill, and you’ll know why.
Lindroth bought the house - designed by Henry Melich - about 13 years ago. But despite its “incredibly good bones,” the home was built at a time when there weren’t great builders or great materials in the area. So, Lindroth gut renovated the home to take it “back to the bones.” Drawing inspiration from other Caribbean homes, including Good Hope Plantation in Jamaica and Oscar de la Renta’s home in Punta Cana, she brought in coralina stone walls, wide-planked dark floors, and added layers and textures of houses before.
Now, Lindroth gets to entertain, which she says is one of the joys of living in the islands. And oh, to be looked after by Amanda Lindroth at Hope Hill. Guests feel an immediate sense of wonder, happiness, air and breeze upon entering the home littered in her signature rattan and wicker. The good food, music, company and crisply made beds are just the cherry on top of your Rum Dum!

The epitome of beauty together with relaxation, class, optimism, the best environment ever and an elegant host
Thank you for sharing the paint color!! 🥰
Oh, I love this women, her style and her home, what inspiration!
I would like to be looked after by Amanda at her lovely home, Hope Hill! Everything looks just beautiful and she seems so gracious and fun.
So lovely and tranquil...I could just feel the breeze and smell the tropical flowers and ocean all the way over here in the Southern California desert. Makes me crave a vacation to the Caribbean. Amanda nailed it with the connotations held by wicker and rattan. I try to always incorporate them into wherever I'm living because they give any nook a relaxing vibe. Same with that beautiful pale mint-meets-seafoam green. I just bought a little table in that color because it makes me feel calmer simply looking at it. The psychology of color is important. Spot on at Hope Hill.
OMG I don't which I love more: Amanda or her house. Either way they are both FABULOUS!
I just love this lady so much. She exhudes such a graceful and fun attitude with her personality. She seems to really enjoy spending quality fun and relaxing times with others. Her whimsy and tropic vibes in her style with designs at her home and also at the recent Kips Bay decorator’s show house in palm beach. She seems so lovely and would be a fabulous hostess and friend to many people. She was speaking about how she likes to decorate in homage and inspiration from specific homes and gives them appreciation when she’s talking about her designing techniques. What a joy she seems to be.
Her guests get a treat from the hostess & ambiance! Incredible.
Beautiful home and most charming hostess. Thanks for bringing beauty to us.
Magnifique!!!!!!; Heaven in earth!
Much love from South of France ❤
I am not worthy! Everything Amanda does is just magic. I study her work with such pleasure. Thank you for featuring her beautiful home. Favorite video yet!!!
In love with this house and the green color ❤
Color palette here is dreamy.
Paradise, lovely.
beautiful home!
When guests leave she hopes they remember being full of laughter, yummy food and being looked after. She did not even mention her gorgeous interior design or her stunningly beautiful house and that’s surely why she’s the ultimate hostess with the mostest.
Such a lovely home.
I wish we were able to see more of it.
The video was so focused on the veranda, which is gorgeous, but would love a tour of the kitchen.
So sympathische Frau, wunderschönes Haus ! Prima!
Beautiful Designer because of her graciousness and her thoughtful attention to comforting her visiting guests.
New Hope is stunning! Her design sense, colors or lack of are crisp, clean and comfortable. She really has nailed it🥂
This is what I call a gorgeous home.❤
Fantastic decor. Lovely lady.
The home is stunning!
Love! Love love love!
What an inspiration!
So inspiring!
I enjoyed this so much! Amanda Lindroth seems like the epitome of a great hostess and her home is gorgeous.
So beautiful! 🤩 🏝️
Your home is flawless. Thanks for the wonderful tour. My great grandmother immigrated to the United States from the Bahamas around 1913, the scars of the Caribbean slave trade embedded in her DNA. Your reference to Good Hope Plantation in Jamaica -though innocent- evokes painful memories. As grand as the house is/was, it was built by enslaved people who suffered greatly in John Tharp’s unwavering pursuit of money, power and status. Some 224 souls languished there. They were Akan, Ashanti, Yoruba and Ibo, beautiful people with exquisite culture and a rich history. They were forced to perform work Europeans - because of incompetence and/or laziness- wouldn’t do. Good Hope should not be viewed as an architectural marvel. It was a forced labor camp that is a symbol of greed, suffering and unimaginable cruelty.
My dear, the whole of the Caribbean economy was built with slave labour. The English, the French, the Dutch, the Spanish, the Danish - all of them used slaves to built their empires across the world, including the Caribbean. Up to 40% of the trans-Atlantic slave trade ended up in the Caribbean Islands. Every one of the plantations, be it banana, sugar or tobacco, in the Caribbean islands is built with slaves' sweat and blood.
Thank you. She said so much in the coded language. To have lived in a place for 30 years and yet remain so unaware. As a Caribbean person, this was difficult.
I don't think this lady was part of what happened there in 1913. She decorates houses and is not responsible for all the injustices in the world.
@@Redbird_Girl2010 No one but you stated that this woman is responsible for all the injustices in the world.
Cute, how you try to silence people from expressing themselves without even realising it--Smh
So incredibly calming. She is very talented and lovely.
such a lovely tour. i'm excited to have a beautiful home in the Bahamas where family and friends can come and enjoy too.
I'm in love with the house...I'm in love with Amanda...
This is how I always wanted to live.
So pretty love all the color!
Oh just to sit on a veranda like that before I die! The house, it’s finishes and especially the colors as well as the hostess makes my heart happy❤. Thank you for sharing!
Su hogar es un sueño!
My word! I had to look up Hope Hill and does that site ever show what Amanda Lindroth is all about! Impressive to say the least. Living the high life! This featured video had me wondering just how many chairs and places there are to sit! Love her caftan, which too, would be made of the finest material! Thank you for sharing.
I admire a woman that admits she gossips with her friends ;-). Gorgeous home too.
Simply watching this video invoked the feeling of being on holiday, thank you!
Perfect!
Absolutely beautiful, just love it.
Dreamy island paradise! ❤
Beautiful!
Sitting here just shaking my head at this beauty. Stunning, calming, every area is so welcoming. I could move right in. How do I get an invitation!
I always adimire you and all your videos.. Pastor Mine from Kenya
Beautifull Light and airy...my kind of House..luv it💜
Lovely, so relaxing yet cheerful. Just the right mix!
Fabulous!
beautiful...you captured the Caribbean aesthetic very well ..love
That the life style of one percent of the population. The rest are worried about price of the eggs😂
Absolutely, also taking inspiration from plantations, that I'm sure participated in slavery.
PERFECT!❤❤
heavenly!

Paradise
Oh man, I would love to have such a lovely house with so many guests :)
Muy bonito el lugar y la decoración!
Love.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Lovely home
delightful
I love this house and the colors. I first saw her designs on a Homeworthy video and I loved her blue hand blocked table linens, but now, seeing how nice the pink looks, I may switch. Or, maybe blue and white in the house and the pink and white on the lanai....maybe I can have it all here on the SC Coast.
Stunning house, but I'm distracted by her fantastic ring. Is it an emerald cut aquamarine?
Que bom gosto!!
Really pretty 💚
The Coziest home
I'm avail for looking after. Love the Messel Green and knicked bougainvillea.
A feeling of calm over took me, please invite me, I promise I'd leave, sometime!!!
Glorious!! The entire home but that verandah ❤
5:54 Can anyone pls tell what colour green she said she has in her house? Benjamin moore ____?___green?
Absolutely gorgeous Darling ❤💥💥💋
I wish u my mom ❤
I need to be friends with her!😂
Smile Jesus loves you ❣️
Why is the annoying bass beat always necessary. I want to listen to the narration and it's just impossible.
My mind isn't programmed to always need the hypnotic beat and it's just beyond irritating.
Everything is beautiful but being on an island with blue water, white sand, and swaying palm trees is all I need to be content.
Swooning…
I don't know why, but the interior of this house just misses the mark for me. ??????
No good builders or materials. Go home please!!
Pretentiously tasteless.
The Bahamas is a dichotomy - rich and White - Black and poor.
ALL, without a single exception, homes for White people with money are in gated communities.
The regular homes do not look anything like this.
This video is actually sad because this is the equivalent of the old southern slave homes in the US.
BLACK BAHAMIAN HERE..... Excuse me!!! You need to do actual research and stop running on with surface level foolishness. What do you know about The Bahamas, and how most people live. Do you even know the demographics of the country throughout its 700 Islands. The Bahamas is categorized as a Small Island Developing State with a strong middle and upper middle class. Yes., there is poverty and downtown is a dump... but if you actually know The Bahamas and have traveled throughout the country than you would not come on here with utter foolishness.
Since I don't know people like her, I have no reason to visit the B or the Caribbean. People I know have no interest in hospitality. it's a sad cultural failing.
What????
One word- gentrification much of the natives live in poverty , but the masters living in palaces.
I'm sorry, is she a slave owner?
