Tucked into Lyford Cay on New Providence Island, this island home was refreshed by Lauren Nelson Design for a lively young family. The main house and cottage were thoughtfully renovated, keeping the classic Bahamian Colonial bones intact while layering in modern furnishings and finishes. Restored details, custom millwork and a rich, tactile palette add warmth and personality, blending old-world charm with easy, everyday island living that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly of its place.
