What are the benefits of linen?
Georgie: “Linen is the most natural plant there is and, when grown in
Normandy, France, there are no pesticides used in its production. It’s eco-
friendly as every part of the plant is used, and it also has health benefits
from the tiny holes in the fabric, which allow the body to breathe.”
How do you choose bed linen to suit your interiors?
“We encourage people to mix and match colours as you never know what
combinations might work. Carlotta recently tried our ‘Marine Stripes’
duvet cover with ‘Oat’ pillowcases – it looked very stylish and fresh!”
Tell us your idea of the perfect bedding situation:
“A bedroom should always reflect your values and be pleasing on the
eye, as you spend over a third of your time in there. A little trick in
the summer is to remove the duvet itself and use the linen duvet
cover alone, as it’s very cool and breathable.”
What are your top tips for getting a good night’s sleep?
“Make sure the room is organised. Slightly opening the window, having
a glass of water next to your bed and spritzing pillow spray are good
methods. It’s lovely to burn a nice smelling candle before you sleep, and
definitely don’t look at your phone while in bed – instead, try reading.”
What’s in store for Carlotta + Gee in 2020?
“Big things! We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with
fashion brand Assembly Label and we are extending our label with
products such as linen robes.” Visit carlottaandgee.com.
