Why requesting samples is so important
When it comes to choosing the perfect blind for your space, especially online, you can be faced with the difficulty of not knowing where to start. Do you opt for wooden blinds or roller blinds? Roman or venetian blinds? The list is endless. As your blinds will last for many years to come, and will be a stand out feature in your room, it’s important to get it right the first time round. We definitely agree, choosing from a digital image can sometimes make the choice even harder.
Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered! You can order free samples online on our full range of blinds, straight from our website. Our samples are delivered straight to your door the next working day, to help make the decision so much easier.
So why is it so important to order samples I hear you ask? Well there’s a few reasons…
Faux Wood vs Real Wood
When it comes to choosing the perfect blinds for your window area, you need to be able to really visualise the look, especially when deciding between Faux Wood Blinds or Real Wood Blinds. Faux Wood Blinds are made from 100% PVC and are designed to look exactly like real wood. The main difference between the two is that Faux Wooden Blinds are more resistant to water damage and moisture - making them perfect for bathrooms and kitchens.
However, the quality of Real Wooden Blinds are exceptional. They are very elegant and you won’t ever get two the exact same, so if you’re wanting to be original and stand out from the rest then Real Wood Blinds may be for you.
With our handy option of ordering a sample online, you will be able to compare the two side-by-side and decide for yourself which will be more appropriate for your space.
Material and fabric
Another great factor about ordering samples is that they can really help build your scheme. If you’re still in the process of designing your room, and you’re still contemplating different colours, patterns and prints - then ordering a range of different samples can help.
We suggest putting all of your favourite samples together to create a moodboard. Think swatches of your favourite fabrics, this may be for soft furnishings, flooring samples, and of course your blind swatches. This is a great and cost effective way to bring the look to life, and allow for any creative mistakes before actually purchasing your blind. It’s so important when mixing different textures to experiment within a moodboard first, It’s definitely what makes for a perfectly designed space.
Colour choices
Ordering samples is also perfect if you’re trying to match furniture or textiles to your blinds. The wide variety of colours and patterns that we stock can make it hard to decide on the perfect colour match for your scheme.We suggest ordering a few different samples of your favourite colour choices and comparing them next to your fabric or paint swatches at different times of the day. Try holding your samples up in the early morning, mid-day and then later on an evening to really picture the blinds within the look.
Our samples are completely free. You can request these easily on our website on every product page. We’ll get the sample posted out the same day (if ordering before 4pm) to be with you the next working day.
