Swatches & Samples

Why Order a Sample?

Colors and patterns on screens may differ from the actual product. Samples provide a physical representation before specifying. Samples are not returnable. They are randomly cut, and dye lots are not guaranteed. Only one sample per colorway may be ordered, with a maximum of 18 per order for free shipping. Swatch colors may differ slightly due to dye lot variations.

Pindler, Iksel, and clearance items do not have samples.

Swatch Ordering

Samples are available directly from product pages via the "SWATCH" option. Sample sizes typically range from 4" × 4" up to a full repeat. Samples cost $5 each (effective Sept 23, 2025). If a sample is unavailable, it will be refunded.

Cut for Approval (CFA)

A Cut for Approval (CFA) is a small sample taken from your actual order, allowing you to confirm color, pattern, and dye lot before committing to the full purchase. Dye lots can vary, especially in 100% cotton, linen, and other natural fibers, so an exact match to showroom or swatch book samples cannot be guaranteed. For precision, we recommend requesting a CFA for fabrics and Phillip Jeffries natural wallpapers.

Note: Full yardage or wallpaper is non-returnable based on color preference.

Natural Grasscloth

Phillip Jeffries grasscloths are handwoven from grasses, reeds, and other natural fibers, giving each roll its distinctive texture and depth. Variations in color, weave, and tone are inherent, enhancing the material’s unique character. A CFA is strongly recommended and is available only for Phillip Jeffries grasscloths.

How It Works

CFAs are available for in-stock fabrics and Phillip Jeffries grasscloths, subject to vendor approval and minimums. To request a CFA, please place your order by phone so we can reserve the required material. A cutting from the actual stock will be sent for your approval. Once you approve the cutting, your full order will be shipped. CFAs are not available for Clarke & Clarke fabrics, items shipped directly from the mill, or most wallpapers except Phillip Jeffries naturals. There is no additional charge for CFA service; however, please allow a few extra days for processing, which may slightly delay shipment.

Important Considerations

Dye lot variations are common, especially in fabrics with a high percentage of cotton, linen, or other natural fibers, as well as in grasscloth or sisal wallpapers. These variations are a natural characteristic of the material and are not considered defects. They are subject to our standard return policy. For wallpaper and fabrics, dye lot samples are not available. By purchasing, the buyer agrees to accept the current dye lot provided by the manufacturer.

If you under-order, additional quantities may not match your original dye lot. We strongly recommend consulting a professional wallcovering installer to confirm your required yardage. Returns or refunds are not available for over-ordered quantities.

Why does grasscloth show color variation?
Grasscloth naturally exhibits color variation, which is an inherent characteristic of the material and cannot be fully controlled. No accommodations can be made for this, as it is intrinsic to the product.

Proper installation is key to achieving a cohesive look. Installers should shade the panels to create the best visual matches across the walls and align new sections with previously installed material for a consistent appearance. Preplanning is essential—for example, lighter panels can be placed on smaller walls and darker panels on larger walls to enhance overall balance. It is also important to specify any shading preferences prior to installation.

Ultimately, any visual inconsistencies arise from the installation method rather than the grasscloth itself.  No refunds will be accepted for any wallpaper once it has been installed due to these issues.

Ordering Wallpaper

Wallpapers are sold by roll, double roll, yard, or panel, so check the product description to make sure you order the right amount. For the best results, we recommend consulting a professional installer.

In the U.S., wallpapers like York are usually sold as double rolls (20" × 27', about 56–60 sq ft). European wallpapers are typically single rolls (20.5" × 33', roughly the same coverage as a U.S. double roll). Each roll comes with hanging instructions, and most wallpapers use pre-mixed tub paste unless noted otherwise.

Measure your walls carefully, including pattern repeats and architectural details, and consider ordering 10–25% extra to allow for pattern matching, trimming, and small adjustments. More is always better than under-ordering—larger or intricate patterns may require additional material to ensure a seamless, elegant finish.

Not all wallpapers are pre-pasted or pre-trimmed, and dye lots can vary. Ordering extra now or consulting a professional will help ensure a seamless, elegant finish.
