The Sample Service
Live with it first
A screen can only tell you so much. A sample in your hands, in your own light, beside your own floorboards and fabrics, tells you everything. That's why we make it easy to order as many as you need.

How to judge a sample
Four things the professionals do
- 01
Put it on the wall
Tape it where the paper will actually hang, at eye level. A sample on a table always looks different.
- 02
Look morning and evening
North light cools a colour and evening lamps warm it. Check it at both ends of the day before you decide.
- 03
Hold it against the room
Try it beside your woodwork, your floor and your fabrics. Those are the colours it will live with.
- 04
Give it a few days
Leave it up and walk past it. The one you still love on day three is usually the right one.
What you'll receive
Samples of everything we sell
Wallpaper
A4 size, but bigger wherever we can, so you can see the scale of the pattern and the texture of the paper.
Fabric
A generous swatch, so you can feel the weight, see how it falls and check it beside your sofa or curtains.
Paint
Sample pots, so you can paint a proper patch and see the colour in your own light before you commit.
How it works
Simple, and mostly free
- Choose. Tap Order a sample on any product, or pick Sample from the options. Your samples gather in the tray at the bottom of the screen.
- Up to 6 delivered free. Ordering more than 6? A flat £6.95 covers the postage, however many you choose.
- On their way. Each product shows how long its sample takes. Samples often come straight from each brand, so they may arrive in separate parcels.
- Then order with confidence. Rolls ordered together always come from the same batch, so the colour you approve is the colour you get.
Choosing for a client? Interior designers and decorators with a trade account receive free samples and trade pricing.
Trade accountsSamples are sent by post and can't be returned or refunded. Colours vary a little from screen to screen, which is exactly why a sample is worth having. Questions? Get in touch.
