Allen & Unwin | Houseplants & Design

Bring a little more green inside. 🌿

Houseplants have a wonderful way of transforming a space — adding colour, texture and life while helping a house feel that little bit more like home. Houseplants and Design by Liz Carlson celebrates that connection between plants, interiors and the simple pleasure of nurturing something beautiful.

Packed with gorgeous photography and practical advice, this book covers everything from choosing the right pot size and caring for healthy roots to pest management and everyday plant care. Whether your home is already overflowing with greenery or you’re still working on keeping your first plant alive, there’s plenty here to inspire and guide you.

Written by Liz Carlson, owner of NODE in Lyttelton, Canterbury, her approachable style makes plant care feel achievable rather than intimidating.

A beautiful addition to the coffee table, a practical guide to keep close at hand, and a gorgeous gift for plant lovers, new homeowners or anyone who believes there’s always room for just one more plant.
