Unfurled: Designing a Living Home

In Unfurled: Designing a Living Home, acclaimed plant stylist Hilton Carter invites readers into the heart of his home—a personal sanctuary that has evolved, layer by layer, to reflect his style, creativity, and love for plants.

In his sixth—and most personal—book, Hilton Carter reveals his creative process for transforming his Baltimore house into a true home. In this behind-the-scenes tour, from the tranquil master bedroom to the plant-filled sunroom, he shares the inspiration behind each space, talking the reader through the mood boards he creates when embarking on a room renovation and explaining the thoughts behind a design, both functional and decorative. Hilton shares how each room has “unfurled” beautifully over time, discussing how to choose color and texture, offering practical tips on room layout, and showing how to use plants to breathe life into the home. Alongside personal stories and design insights, Unfurled shows how recreate these looks in your own home—whether you’re working with a guest suite or a compact shower room. With Hilton’s guidance, you’ll learn how to incorporate thoughtful styling, select the right plants for your rooms, and cultivate a home that is personal, nurturing, alive, and dynamic.
