Fabric & Wallpaper Samples | The WorkRoom

Choosing the right luxury fabric or wallpaper begins with seeing the material in your own space. The WorkRoom makes it easy to order fabric samples, wallpaper samples and decorative trim samples from many of the world's leading designer brands before purchasing full-size yardage or rolls.

A sample allows you to examine the color, pattern, texture, scale and material in person. Because colors can appear differently on computer screens, tablets and mobile devices, we strongly recommend ordering a sample before placing your final fabric or wallpaper order.

How to Order Fabric and Wallpaper Samples

When a sample is available, use the product-page dropdown menu to select Swatch instead of Yard or Roll, then add the sample to your cart.

Samples are $5 each, with a maximum of 18 samples per order and one sample per pattern.

Sample fees help cover the materials, processing, handling and shipping required by each brand. Sample fees are non-refundable once an available sample has been processed and shipped.

The size and format of each fabric or wallpaper sample are determined by the manufacturer. Samples are pre-cut and cannot be customized or requested in a specific size. Depending on the brand and product, you may receive a small swatch, memo sample or representative cutting.

Complimentary Sample Shipping Within the United States

The WorkRoom offers complimentary standard sample shipping within the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. Sample shipping to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands is $25 per order.

Samples are not available for direct international shipping at this time.

All samples ship directly from the individual fabric, wallpaper or trim manufacturer. Because each brand processes and ships its own samples, orders containing multiple samples may arrive in separate packages and on different days, even when the samples are from the same manufacturer.

How Long Do Fabric and Wallpaper Samples Take to Arrive?

Please allow 10 business days from the date your order is placed for your samples to arrive. Business days exclude weekends and holidays.

Delivery times vary by manufacturer, and samples may arrive in multiple shipments throughout this period.

Some brands ship samples using USPS First Class Mail or their preferred shipping carrier. USPS First Class Mail shipments may not include tracking. Tracking information will be provided when made available by the manufacturer.

If you have not received all your samples after 10 business days, please contact us so we can assist you.

Missing, Out-of-Stock or Backordered Samples

Sample availability is controlled by each manufacturer and may change after an order is placed. Since samples ship directly from individual brands, manufacturers do not always notify The WorkRoom when a sample is out of stock, backordered or unavailable.

If you have not received a sample within 10 business days of placing your order, please let us know. We are happy to offer a refund for any sample that cannot be fulfilled.

If the manufacturer produces additional samples and fulfills your original request at a later date, we will send your sample at no additional cost, even if the original sample fee was refunded.

Because replenishment schedules are determined by the manufacturer, we may not be able to provide an estimated delivery date for an unavailable sample.

If your samples have not all arrived after 10 business days, please reach out to our customer service team:

Products That Do Not Have Samples

Pindler samples are not available due to Pindler's sample policy.

Samples are also unavailable for outlet items, discontinued products, clearance merchandise and certain limited-stock fabrics, wallpapers or trims. These products may have insufficient remaining inventory for the manufacturer to cut a sample, and the item could sell out while a sample is in transit.

If a sample option does not appear on the product page, the manufacturer may not offer samples for that item.

Samples Are Yours to Keep

All fabric, wallpaper and decorative trim samples ordered through The WorkRoom are yours to keep.

There is no need to return samples after reviewing them.

Occasionally, a manufacturer may include a return envelope, return label or printed return instructions with a sample. These materials may be disregarded unless The WorkRoom contacts you with different instructions.

Understanding Color and Dye-Lot Variations

A sample is intended to represent the product's general color, pattern, texture and construction. The final material may come from a different production run or dye lot, so slight color variations can occur. These natural variations are not considered defects.

For fabrics currently in stock, a cutting for approval (CFA) may be available before the order ships. Cuttings for approval may also be available for select Phillip Jeffries natural wallcoverings.

A cutting for approval is taken from the merchandise reserved for your order and is different from a standard sample.

If matching an existing fabric or wallpaper installation is important, please contact our team before ordering to discuss available options.
