Behind the Brand: Harlequin

Design with a Bold, Expressive Heart

Harlequin is a vibrant British fabric and wallpaper brand known for its fearless use of colour and pattern. Founded in the 1960s, Harlequin quickly earned a reputation as a trailblazer in modern interior design, bringing fresh energy and a playful edge to British homes.

True to its name — which means ‘varied in colour or decoration’ — Harlequin has always championed design that uplifts and surprises. Over the decades, the brand has grown into a creative powerhouse within the Sanderson Design Group, inspiring homeowners and designers alike to embrace pattern, texture and bold colour stories.

Harlequin Today: Where Fashion Meets Interiors

Today, Harlequin is celebrated for its dynamic collections that blur the lines between interior design and high fashion. The brand’s in-house design team draws inspiration from catwalk trends, global culture and the natural world, translating these influences into distinctive fabrics and wallpapers that exude confidence and creativity.

Harlequin’s signature look includes painterly florals, statement geometrics and luxurious velvets in striking palettes. Every collection is designed to make a statement, whether used for dramatic curtains, vibrant upholstery or eye-catching cushions.

Beyond aesthetics, Harlequin also focuses on practical luxury. Many fabrics feature easy-care finishes and durable weaves, making them as functional as they are beautiful.
