COLOR SCHEMING

When a piece of furniture has a striking color and pattern, placing a complementary plant beside it doubles the effect. While you should have a color palette to guide styling decisions, using artwork to provide a wild splash of color and interest in a room goes a long way. In our sunroom, the mix of colors in the painting by Jose Mertz helps to make the bar area feel lush.

Living Wild

STATEMENT PLANTS

When designing your home, or even just one room, a good starting point is to ask yourself what kind of statement you are hoping to make with the space. Perhaps you’re a lover of color and envision a bold color-block mural painted on one wall? Or a minimalist, in which case clean lines and muted tones give you life.

Living Wild

OUTDOOR GLAMOUR

Having a deck to enjoy during the warmer months expands the space you have for indoor/outdoor living. Blurring the line between indoor and out is easier when we’re able to fold the accordion doors back and create one large room. Another grouping of plants—these specimens love full sun during the spring and summer.

Hilton Carter

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Hilton Carter began his passion for the arts at an early age. This will and desire would take him from enrolling in summer art classes at local community colleges at the age of nine, to a high school that specialized in art and technology. After graduating high school, he would receive his BFA from The Maryland Institute College of Art and continue his studies to earn a MFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.

His freelance work as a filmmaker and editor allowed him to travel around the US and would eventually bring him to New Orleans in 2014. For him, it all started with one plant, a fiddle-leaf fig named Frank, to be exact. As he explains in his best-selling book Wild at Home: How to style and care for beautiful plants, his interest in plants started out as purely practical: he was averse to putting up curtains in his New Orleans apartment, and decided to try a more natural approach to creating privacy, using plants. His experience as a novice indoor gardener was gratifying as Frank flourished in the bright and humid conditions. But when Hilton had to move to a home with less ideal growing conditions, Frank’s leaves turned yellow and started to fall off. Five years later, Frank is now thriving in the Baltimore apartment he shares with Hilton Carter and his wife Fiona, their cats Isabella and Zoe, pup Charlie and 200 other plants.

“Have you ever walked into a plant nursery or greenhouse and instantly felt a change in the air? The feeling of calm that washes over you as you tilt your head back, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. This is the feeling you’re looking to replicate when you bring plants into your home.” – Hilton Carter, in Wild at Home

He does a weekly series with Apartment Therapy called Plant Doctor and has been featured in the The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, HGTV and BuzzFeed, to name a few. His latest book, Wild Interiors: Beautiful plants in beautiful spaces, releases April 2020.

Hilton Carter is a plant/interior stylist, director, author, and fine artist. He has a loyal following on Instagram(@hiltoncarter), where he shares his knowledge of plant care and styling with the green loving community.

    This book is absolutely beautiful to look at and even better to read. I’d like to think I know my way around the greenhouse, but in actuality, it turns out it might need some help! It sits on my coffee table and whenever I’m able to, I pick up and just breeze through a few pages, I have learned so much in the process. the pictures are stunning and I have nothing but good things to say about the book itself. So much info in it. Great read.

    Hilton Carter has a way of expressing his love of plants that I identify with. He's creative, honest and well knowledgeable about how I want to live. Fount Hilton Cart on my local PBS channel and bought LIVING WILD and his PROPAGATION HANDBOOK immediately. Great investment, you won't be disappointed.
