Product Insights
The Calla rug by Harlequin uses low-contrast multicolour gradient stripes to create a calm, non-dominating backdrop that enables pattern mixing, with a soft sheen from 6% viscose; its orientation can visually widen or elongate a room, and floating placement is recommended, but the wool-viscose blend (94% wool, 6% viscose) requires professional cleaning and careful maintenance, and its premium pricing—about three times a mass-market hand-tufted rug—reflects the Brink & Campman partnership.
Verified claims
- Calming effect
- Low-contrast gradient stripes create a calm, non-dominating backdrop.
- Sheen
- 6% viscose content adds a soft sheen enhancing colour gradation.
- Pattern mixing
- Low-contrast stripes enable pattern mixing without visual chaos.
- Stripe orientation
- Stripes running across the shorter wall visually widen a narrow room; lengthwise stripes elongate it.
- Floating placement
- Float the rug 6–12 inches from walls with furniture edges just touching the rug.
- Cleaning
- Professional cleaning required; avoid harsh detergents and steam cleaning.
- Price premium
- At CAD 1099 (~£228/m²), the rug costs roughly 3× a mass-market hand-tufted rug, reflecting the Brink & Campman partnership.
- Vacuuming
- Vacuum regularly without a beater bar.
- Spill treatment
- Blot spills immediately; never rub.
- Material
- Wool-viscose blend (94% wool, 6% viscose) with a subtle lustre, versus price-equivalent 100% wool rugs.
- Spatial effects
- Low-contrast multicolour stripes can visually widen or lengthen a room based on rug orientation.
- Maintenance
- Professional cleaning required; avoid machine washing and steam cleaning.
- Pricing
- Priced identically to Orla Kiely at largest size; both at ~3× mass-market rate.
- Design
- Low-contrast stripes can be oriented to elongate; unlike Orla Kiely's floral motif.

Deep Research
How the stripe scale affects room proportions and styling
- Placing the Calla rug with its stripes running across the shorter wall pulls the eye sideways, visually widening a narrow room — turning the rug 90 degrees so stripes run the room's length creates an elongating runway effect, the same optical principle used in hall runners and fashion.
- The rug's colour-gradated, multicolour stripes produce a low-contrast effect that, unlike high-contrast black-and-white bands, doesn't monopolize the room; it recedes enough to allow pattern mixing — other textiles can incorporate chevrons, smaller stripes, or geometrics at different scales without the room feeling chaotic.
- To let the stripes do their perceptual work, the rug should float with a 6–12 inch gap of visible floor around it and furniture fronts resting on the edge — tucking it under a bed or pushing it against the wall mutes the optical illusion that widens or lengthens the room.
How the price compares to similar designer wool rugs
- Harlequin’s rugs are made in partnership with Brink & Campman, the Dutch rug specialists, placing the Calla in a supply chain known for translating fashion-house designs into meticulously tufted pieces; this collaboration underpins the £1,275 sticker (200×280cm) and positions the rug as a curated design object rather than a commodity floor covering.
- The Calla’s pile uses a blend of pure new wool and a lustrous secondary fibre — sources vary between 6% viscose and 13% art silk depending on the colourway — which lends the rug a soft sheen that differentiates it from a purely matte 100% wool rug; this subtle gloss plays up the gradient stripe effect and aligns with Harlequin’s fashion-fabric aesthetic, making the rug feel more like a textile design piece than a utilitarian wool mat.
- A 100% wool hand-tufted rug like the Joon Loloi Jude retails for $719 for an 8×10 ft (~240×300cm), while the Harlequin Calla at 200×280cm costs £1,275 (roughly £900 more at current exchange); the premium covers the Harlequin design vocabulary, the multi-colour gradient that requires more complex tufting, and the Brink & Campman manufacturing quality.
- The 200×280cm Calla covers 5.6 square metres and at £1,275 yields approximately £228 per square metre; by comparison, the Jude’s 7.43 square metres at $719 gives roughly $97 (about £75) per square metre — the roughly 3× per-square-metre premium is what you pay for Harlequin’s fashion-brand heritage and the more labour-intensive multi-stripe pattern execution.
- At the 250×350cm size, both the Harlequin Calla and the Orla Kiely Classic Multi Stem list at £2,359 from specialist UK retailers, making the Orla a direct price competitor; the Calla’s pile is a blend of pure new wool and 6–13% viscose or art silk for a subtle lustre, while the Orla uses 100% wool, meaning the Calla trades the all-natural resilience of pure wool for a luminous surface that pairs with Harlequin’s painterly stripe gradation.

Q&A
1 answered- What is the recommended cleaning method for this rug?
- We recommend professional cleaning for this handtufted wool-blend rug to preserve its colors and texture. For everyday upkeep, vacuum regularly without a beater bar and blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub. Avoid harsh detergents or steam cleaning, as these can damage the wool-blend pile and latex backing.
