Do you have samples?
Yes! We offer A4 sized samples for thousands of our wallpapers to help you choose the perfect design. If a sample is available, you’ll find a ‘Order a Sample’ button just below the ‘Add to Cart’ button on the product page.
If you don’t see a sample option for a particular wallpaper, contact us directly—we may be able to source one for you from our suppliers.
Are samples free?
No, samples are not free. We charge a small fee to help cover the cost of handling and postage. In fact, we lose money on each sample order, but we provide them as a service to help customers make confident wallpaper choices.
We do our best to keep sample costs as low as possible while ensuring we can continue offering this service. If you're unsure which samples to order, feel free to reach out to our team for guidance.
How do I order a sample?
Ordering a sample is easy! If a sample is available for a wallpaper, you’ll see an ‘Order a Sample’ button just below the ‘Add to Cart’ button on the product page. Simply click it, add the sample to your cart, and proceed to checkout.
If you don’t see a sample option on the product page, contact us directly—we may be able to source one for you from our suppliers.
How many samples can I order?
You can order up to 5 samples at a time to help you choose the perfect wallpaper for your space. Our samples are intended solely for wallpaper selection purposes and are not provided for crafting, DIY projects, or other uses.
If you need more than 5 samples or have a trade or bulk sample request, please contact us directly, and we’ll be happy to assist.
How long does it take to receive a sample?
We have thousands of samples in stock at our Nelson warehouse, ready to ship. We aim to dispatch orders within 2 business days, but during busy periods, it may take up to 5 business days.
If a sample is not in stock, we need to order it from our suppliers, which can take up to 3 weeks depending on availability and shipping times.
🚨 If you’re on a tight deadline, please contact us before ordering, and we’ll do our best to confirm availability and provide an estimated delivery time.
Are the samples an exact match to the final product?
Our samples are cut from actual rolls of wallpaper, so they provide a good representation of the color, texture, and material. However, samples may not always come from the same print batch as the rolls you order, meaning there can be slight variations in color or tone between the sample and the final product.
If you’re planning to match paint or décor to your wallpaper, we strongly recommend waiting until you receive your full rolls rather than relying solely on the sample to ensure the best color accuracy.
What size are the samples?
Most of our wallpaper samples are industry-standard A4 size (21cm x 29.7cm), giving you a close representation of the color, texture, and material. However, they are not designed to show you what the wallpaper will look like on your wall.
🖼️ For a better idea of how the wallpaper will appear in a room, we recommend referring to the room shots on our website.
⚠️ Important:
- Due to the size of the sample, it will not include the full design of the wallpaper.
- We cannot guarantee that a specific feature, motif, or pattern repeat will be visible in the sample you receive.
- Some samples may not be A4-sized—this is set by the manufacturer or supplier, and we have no control over these variations.
If you need to see a specific element of a design, please contact us before ordering, and we’ll do our best to assist.
Why don’t murals come with samples?
Murals are large-scale, non-repeating designs, which makes it difficult to provide accurate samples. Unlike wallpaper, which has a repeating pattern, a small A4 sample of a mural wouldn’t show the full design properly. Additionally, many murals are custom-printed to fit specific wall dimensions, meaning each one is unique.
If you’re interested in a mural, we recommend checking the detailed product images on our website or contacting us for guidance.
Can I return a sample?
Due to the nature of samples, they cannot be returned. They are intended to help you make a decision before committing to a full roll or mural.
Do you offer bulk samples for designers and trade professionals?
Yes! We offer bulk sample packs for interior designers, architects, and trade professionals. If you need multiple samples for a project, please contact us directly, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
