For interior stylist and plant enthusiast Hilton Carter, every day is an opportunity to learn something. He and his wife, Fiona Vismans, have had their share of learning over the past year, not only becoming parents but also first-time homebuyers who are fully renovating their 1916 Baltimore abode. “If we’ve learned anything over the past year, it’s how to be at home. If it doesn’t fill us with light and make us feel like we can just be in the space, that’s a sign something needs to change,” he remarked. Now, the East Coast creative is tapping into his love of natural light, plants and connection to the outdoors to create a healthy home for his growing family.
“My forever goal is to blur the indoor/outdoor line,” Carter said. To make the most of the southern exposure and park views at the back of the house, he had windows enlarged, walls removed and a new kitchen created in the former dining room. This not only puts the most-used room, the kitchen, in the sunniest space, it also improves the flow of the main level by positioning the kitchen in between the new dining room and sunroom. The wall separating the sunroom from the new kitchen was also removed to let light penetrate further into the interior of the house. But perhaps the most dramatic change of all was replacing the south-facing wall of the sunroom with a Folding Outswing door, creating a truly “wild interior” with seamless patio access.
When closed, Carter’s folding outswing doors function like floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the room with southern light. Their look is complemented by the adjacent E-Series hinged patio door and custom sidelights.
From the floating shelves in the kitchen to the corners of the dining room, greenery thrives in Carter’s home, which features Andersen® E-Series windows — casements above the sink and double-hungs in the dining room.
