Why Does Ordering Free Fabric Samples Matter?

Selecting upholstery fabric or textiles online can be challenging. Pictures on a screen can’t always capture the true essence of the fabric – its texture, weight, and colour in different lights. Before you commit to a fabric, we always recommend ordering samples. It’s not just about seeing the fabric; it’s about feeling it and experiencing it in your space. Our sampling service lets you do just that, without any guesswork.

Curtain Fabric & Upholstery Fabric Samples

Choose from thousands of fabrics for your home, wardrobe, and even your vehicles too, simply try before you buy with our free fabric samples.

Find upholstery fabric samples both small and large in our fabric collection, and browse hundreds of patterns and compositions, perfect for every kind of home.

Find rich chenille boucle fabrics, duck egg fabrics, and bold William Morris curtain fabrics for a truly decadent home transformation.

Homeware and Decoration Fabric Samples

Deciding to order free fabric samples can allow you to physically assess the fabric’s texture, weight, and colour accuracy, which can vary from what appears on screens. This hands-on experience ensures the fabric aligns perfectly with your decor vision, whether for cushions, throws, tablecloths, or curtains.

Clothing and Apparel Samples

Explore our range of clothing and apparel fabric samples to create stylish and comfortable outfits. From luxurious silks to durable pieces of denim, our samples help you feel the fabric’s quality and drape before making your garment. Whether you’re designing a bespoke suit, casual wear, or special occasion attire, find the right fabric to bring your fashion vision to life.

Lining Samples

Complete your garment projects with our lining fabric samples. Choose from a variety of materials suitable for jackets, dresses, and more. Our lining samples ensure you select fabrics that enhance comfort, durability, and style, supporting your sewing and tailoring endeavours with confidence.

We also stock blackout lining to ensure privacy and light control in your home. With our range of lining samples, you can find the perfect match for any outer fabric.

Your Sampling Options

We offer two different types of samples: free (or standard) samples, and large samples.

1. Free Fabric Samples

Our free fabric swatches usually measure at least 4cm x 5cm. This might seem small, but experience tells us that this size is usually enough to get an accurate gauge of colour and feel. We send out hundreds of free samples every week, which customers use to make confident and informed buying decisions.

Sometimes though, especially if the fabric features a pattern/repeat, a small swatch will always be insufficient for sampling purposes. This is why, in some cases, you might not see a free sample option for certain fabrics. In these cases, your only option will be a larger sample.

2. Large Fabric Samples

Large samples, outside of special offers or promotions, are not free. Measuring approximately 15cm x 15cm, these carry a nominal charge of £0.50p each.

Our larger samples are perfect for fabrics with repeats, allowing you to see the full spectrum of colours used in the fabric. You might still need to refer to online images to see the full pattern, though, especially for fabrics with larger repeats.

If you’ve hit your limit of six free samples, our larger samples will be the only option provided.

Something to Consider

No two monitors or screens reproduce colour in quite the same way. Ultimately, the colour or shade you see on your screen might not be what our photographer saw when editing the images to match the fabric. We understand the importance of getting it right when it comes to fabric, browse our fabric collection to order your free fabric samples today.
