Hands up who loves a house plant? This home tour is for you! Seriously, I've never seen so much beautiful greenery in one place, it takes the term 'urban jungle' to a new level - and the results are lush! Formerly a cotton mill from the 1870s, the plant-filled loft is located in the centre of Baltimore and belongs to green-fingered Hilton Carter and his girlfriend Fiona Vismans who met as neighbours three years ago (when she knocked on his door to ask him to turn his music down! Love that!). Hilton estimates he owns around 120 plants which wind their way around a blend of high street, thrift store and flea market finds and thrive on the light from the incredible windows. "I really like having plants as a part of my interior styling. You need
that sort of life to open up the space, to clean the air, and to make it
feel like home," Hilton explained to Baltimore Magazine. Prepare to be inspired...

Quite incredible, don't you think?
Who needs a greenhouse?!
If you'd like to see more beautiful homes with plants check out; Jeska and Dean Hearne's lovely home, plants and mid-century finds in a Brooklyn brownstone, the Melbourne home of a florist.
And I love this book: Urban Jungle: Living and Styling with Plants
.
Oh and in case you're not very green-fingered - I included a guide to house plants that are almost impossible to kill in my Lagom book - tried and tested by yours truly!

It's beautiful. I love to have plants here and there around the house, but I am not sure I can go this extent!
ReplyDeleteIt really is stunning. I know! There's no way I'd be able to keep this number of plants alive, you'd need to really be into your gardening!
DeleteBeautiful - and a bit too cluttered with so many plants - veering toward the Victorian!
ReplyDeleteThis look is definitely not for the minimalist!
DeleteHow extraordinary. I wonder how long it takes them to care for these? Although I like plants this is overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteTo have this many plants you'd need to be hugely passionate about gardening!
DeleteHahaha - the first photo was still downloading, pixel by pixel (I am home today so my internet is a bit slower) and I already knew it Hilton's apartment! I love that dude - he is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have discovered him recently (how did i not stumble across his feed earlier?
DeleteSo beautiful, this is how my dream home looks like! Thanks for sharing <3

I am so happy you liked it, it really is a magical space.
DeleteSoo jealous this is my dream house. I live in small dark house where nothing can grow and I have to waite until the middle of summer to plant stuff.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I feel for you, plants do make a difference to a space. There must be some plants that are great at surviving in low light environments?
DeleteOh! I need more plants...(and the rest of the family groans). Beautiful, thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaah, me too Maureen. My home feels empty after seeing this!
DeleteWho looks after all these plants when they go on holiday?
ReplyDeleteI guess they'd need a plant sitter (imagine the responsibility?!!).
Deletethis is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the mot beautiful home I ever seen! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty with all the greenery!
Isn't it incredible? Entirely unique and amazing!
DeleteWow! It' s like a mystic jungle :) I really need more plants, but I alwayas kill them =/
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel like I need new plants too (ones which don't require ANY care....)!
