Inject some colour into your home with Caroline Gardner’s gorgeous new spring collection
With longer days and the return of some much-needed sunshine, spring is an ideal time to breathe some new life into your space and embrace a brighter, more joyful home. Whether you’re entertaining guests, reorganising your shelves or simply looking to lift your mood with a few cheerful touches, a seasonal update is a great way to bring beauty and warmth into your everyday surroundings.
As one of the UK’s leading accessory, gift and stationery designers, Caroline Gardner‘s latest spring offering makes it easier than ever to do just that. What began with hand-printed greeting cards has since blossomed into a much-loved lifestyle brand, known for homeware, stationery and accessories that bring a sense of fun and style to every corner of your life.
From playful patterns to colourful ceramics, the new Sun Seeker Collection takes inspiration from Gardner’s love of travel and fond summer memories. Designed in-house at Gardner’s London studio, the new range captures the essence of carefree summer days — inviting you to bring a little escapism into your home and soak up the season, wherever you are.
For the style-savvy homemaker
Central to the collection is Caroline’s love of travel and fond memories of sun-drenched destinations, and these glazed ceramic plates are perfect for bringing holiday vibes straight into your kitchen. Available in a selection of designs, from this vibrant purple-striped All The Love Multi Hearts plate to the striking Lemons Big Squeeze ceramic design in azure blue, each piece is designed to bring sunshine to your table, whether it’s a casual breakfast at home or an alfresco lunch with friends.
As Gardner shares, ‘It’s the memories of warm summer sun and sea that we’ve tried to capture in the colours and textures of our new collection – clear blue waters, patterned tiled floors and sunset shades of golden yellows and soft pinks.’
Brighten up your kitchen with these hand-painted ceramic mugs with elongated handles, like this charming Green Checks and Colourful Dots designs. Plus, the Yellow Flowers mug pairs perfectly with the matching scalloped-edge Hello Petal plate and pink striped cereal bowl to make a gorgeously co-ordinated set.
Few things say Mediterranean charm quite like a lemon motif, and this Blue Lemons Stoneware Bowl is no exception. With its rich, deep blue glaze and vibrant yellow lemon illustrations, this generously sized bowl is ideal for serving fresh salads or displaying your favourite fruit on your countertop.
With its sun-washed stripes in soft pastel pink and warm golden yellow, this Pink and Yellow Stripe Hand Painted Stoneware Jug brings a pop of colour and touch of countryside chic to your space. Whether you’re pouring your favourite morning juice, displaying freshly cut spring blooms, or simply styling it as a standalone piece, this jug is guaranteed to add sophisticated charm and character to any home.
Not to be overlooked is the Rose Candy Striped Small Ceramic Jug, hand made and hand painted in Portugal. Adorably dainty and versatile, use it for salad dressings or milk, and keep it as a sweet accent piece when not in use.
For the travel enthusiast
When it comes to Gardner’s travel range, think bold printed wash bags, chic zip pouches and unique luggage tags that feel as trendy as they are useful. Soft pastels and fun motifs make these accessories a great pick for globe-trotters who want their personality to shine through, wherever they are in the world. Just like these colourful Packing Cubes that help take the stress out of packing.
Looking for the ultimate weekend bag? The Blue Floral Weekend Bag ticks every box in terms of style, size and durability. Sixties-inspired monochrome florals are given a fresh twist with new colour accents like this vibrant blue design that feels both retro and modern – great for spontaneous getaways and relaxing mini breaks.
The brand’s Design Director, Nicola Breen, notes, ‘Inspired by the timeless appeal of nature, floral designs evoke feelings of warmth and celebration. These new florals are bold and clean, and can be mixed and matched with other designs from the SS25 collection.’
For the stationery lover
No Caroline Gardner collection would be complete without a nod to her roots, and this season’s stationery range includes fresh notebook designs, elegant journals, and an updated selection of unique and heartfelt greeting cards. This Confetti Hearts Mini Cube Cosmetic Bag is deceptively spacious, making it a top pick for housing all your everyday essentials while you’re on the go.
Say goodbye to writer’s block with these beautifully designed notepads. Choose from stylish options like this Pink Flowers Slim Hardback Notebook with its elegant debossed flower cover, or the Offset Stripe Small Chunky Notebook which pairs bold stripes on the outside with an abstract geometric design inside. If you’re using for work, your daily to-do lists or personal reflection, these notebooks make everyday writing feel a little more special.
All in all, Caroline Gardner’s colourful spring collection sparks nothing but joy, reminding us to celebrate the simple pleasures and find beauty in the everyday.
