In Conversation with Carlotta + Gee

Colour is such a signature part of your collections. Which tones or palettes are you most excited about this spring, and how can people incorporate them into their homes? 
It’s so lovely to see colour back. Of course, whites, naturals and creams remain favourites, but this spring–summer we’ll see more stripes and checks. You’ll notice Yellow Stripe in both bedding and napery, and Olive Check, among others. They pair beautifully with natural tones as well. 

Linen is timeless, yet adaptable to the seasons. How do you recommend layering or styling linen for the transition from cooler to warmer weather? 
As the weather warms, our quilts really come into their own. In winter, they add depth and layers; in spring and summer, many people use them instead of a duvet with a flat sheet. They’re all machine-washable and incredibly comfortable. 
Also, our “PJs” become more than just pyjamas in the warmer months — lots of people wear them out for coffee as separates or matching sets, which is very cute and chic. 

Many of us entertain more in spring. What are some simple table-styling ideas that create impact without feeling overdone? 
Sometimes less is more. A beautiful tablecloth and fresh napkins are all you need. Add delicious food, and guests will be both impressed and satisfied. 

What small styling updates can make the biggest difference for the new season? 
Something as simple as new pillowcases — try it. You (and your partner) will notice the difference as soon as you get into bed. It’s also a great time to refresh the fitted sheet or choose a brighter duvet. You don’t need to redo the entire bed; small changes like these go a long way. 

What new styles can we expect from Carlotta + Gee this season and beyond? 
You’ll finally see a children’s range in Q1 next year. We’ve been planning it for a long time, and it just takes time to perfect. We already offer single sizes, but we’ll expand the range to include cot sheets and more. We’re also launching a few new colours, so stay tuned.
