The ‘modern’ space is so much more than simply ‘modernist’. It embraces clean lines, sophisticated colour combinations, outdoor rooms, great design objects and open areas for relaxing and eating. Living Modern Tropical applies these attributes to the lifestyles in tropical climates, where the expression of modern living has found its natural home.

Wherever you live, this visual sourcebook of contemporary interiors in the tropics offers hundreds of photographs and design ideas that will provide inspiration for every room in the house.
