Sample Service

TM Interiors Sample Service

We always recommend you order samples of fabrics, wallpapers, trimmings and paints before you make a commitment to purchase them. Even though we have a number of high quality product images colours shown on screen cannot accurately convey the colour, texture or quality.

With a sample you can see how the colour sits in your room and how it changes with the light and shade of the day, you can also see how well the colour goes with existing décor and other fabrics and papers. You can also use them to create a moodboard. 

What Samples Do You Offer?


We offer:

  • fabric samples (including linings and extra large samples)
  • trimmings samples
  • paint samples
  • wallpaper samples
  • samples of metal/wooden curtain poles

How Do I Order Samples?


The easiest way to order samples is online, simply browse the products and click add sample.

You can also add samples from the product listing pages by clicking on the swatch icon. 

 

What is the Delivery Time for Samples?

  • 3-5 working days from the UK. Samples from UK brands can arrive as quick as the next working day but typically arrive in 3-5 working days.
  • 5-8 working days from the rest of the worls. Samples from brands based overseas, including EU and US suppliers, take a little longer but typically arrive within 5-8 working days.

The above timelines are for customers based in the UK, if you are based overseas it may take an additional 5 working days for a sample to arrive with you.

Where Are My Samples?

We will let you know as soon as we dispatch any samples but please allow 2 weeks before chasing us for samples.

Often samples have to come in to us from our manufacturers and suppliers, sometimes they are coming in from different countries. We then collate your samples and ship them to you.

We may opt to split a sample order so we can ship samples as they come in, this can help if there are one or two samples which might otherwise hold up the order.

 

What Size Are The Samples?

Samples vary in size depending on the brand and product.

  • Wallpaper samples are typically A4 size
  • Fabric samples are typically A6 size
  • Paint samples tend to be sold as small pots of paint (the size will be shown when you order) although some brands, such as Coat Paints, offer peelable swatches which are typically provided in an A6 size.

Some brands offer larger returnable samples of fabric (see below).
 

Do You Offer Returnable Samples?

Where available we can supply a larger returnable sample of fabric, this can assist with showing a larger section of the fabric's pattern.


We charge a refundable deposit for larger returnable samples. Deposits start at £15 per sample, but can be more depending on the fabric choice. If the sample is returned, in the same condition as it is sent out, within 14 days of being sent to you the deposit will be refunded to you. You will need to pay the postage for both delivery and return and this is non-refundable.


If the sample is not returned in the required timeframe the deposit will not be refunded and we reserve the right to also charge you the full retail price for the fabric sample.
