Orders cannot be cancelled if they are already on their way to you. If we have already sent your order out you will need to send it back to us, or if it arrives by courier, you can reject the delivery and ask for it to be returned to sender, and we can organise the cancellation and refund once it arrives back to us.

We will always ask for photos so that we can understand the issue, and in some instances, we may need to collect the item from you for inspection. If deemed faulty we will arrange for a replacement or refund to be sent to you.

FABRIC & WALLPAPER

How long will it take for my Fabric/Wallpaper order to arrive?

Fabric and Wallpaper orders are sent directly from our manufacturers Clarke & Clarke. Due to high demand, some fabrics and wallpapers may be out of stock. These items will be marked as Pre-Order, and will be dispatched as soon as they are back in stock. If you would like an estimated delivery date please contact us. Samples will arrive separately to other items in your order. Providing the fabric and wallpaper is in stock, it is typically despatched within 2-4 working days of ordering.

Can I order fabric or wallpaper samples?

Yes! Each fabric and wallpaper is available to order as a sample (approx A4 size). To order, please select the fabric or wallpaper you would like and choose "Sample" on the product page. All our samples are sent with Royal Mail and delivery times will vary depending on your location. Samples may arrive separately depending on availability. Please note, we are unable to guarantee which part of the design you will receive as a sample, this is due to minimising wastage. 

How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?

Click here to go to our wallpaper guide and calculator. If you are working with a particularly challenging space, we recommend buying an extra roll to avoid disappointment. Please note that our calculations are an estimate, we always recommend you consult with a professional.

Is the Wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?

The wallpapers are suitable for use in bathrooms - as long as they're not in direct contact with large volumes of water (i.e. right beside a bath/shower or behind a sink) and trusting that the bathroom is suitably ventilated. The wallpaper is wipe-clean but can also be sealed for extra protection, with a decorators varnish.

What type of wallpaper paste should I use with your wallpaper?

Our manufacturers Clarke & Clarke suggest using HallsBeeLine paste - they recommend the range with the yellow lid! Having said that, any good quality ready-mixed paste is good to use and will be perfectly compatible with our wallpapers. The wallpapers are all a modern and straightforward ‘paste the wall’ method of application.

Can I order less than a metre of fabric?

Unfortunately we are only able to sell full metres of fabrics, and our manufacturers Clarke & Clarke are unable to sell remnants.

How do I align patterns on fabric when making curtains/blinds?

When making multiple width curtains or blinds, please ensure that pattern alignment is adequate to produce a satisfactory result prior to cutting.

A fabric is not a completely 'stable' product. It is always possible that the pattern will not be completely square on the cloth. Whilst every effort is made to avoid distortion, an amount of tolerance is to be expected, shown in the form of a percentage. Each of our designs may carry a different level of tolerance, and we would be more than happy to provide this information on request.

All fabrics are despatched with a 'STOP' label attached. This is a prompt for the customer/maker to check that the fabric is suitable for use prior to any cutting, as once cut, we are unable to assist with refunds or replacements.

How much fabric will I need?

We recommend consulting with the maker to work out how much fabric you will need for a particular item, as this can vary hugely depending on the style of item, e.g. curtains, and the placement of the pattern. You will need to take into account the pattern repeat for upholstering jobs. Each design has a different pattern repeat - this is listed in a table at the bottom of our Wallpaper & Fabrics Guide, or in the Size details on each product page. 

Is your fabric suitable for upholstery?

Absolutely! Our linens, velvets and cotton satin fabrics are perfect for all kinds of upholstering and drapery. The only fabric we do not recommend for upholstery is the Sylph silks, as they are more delicate but are still perfect for cushions, curtains & blinds. You can find more details on rub test results and wash care on our Fabric Guide page.

Do you offer fire treatment for your fabrics?

Yes we do offer fire treatment, however this is a custom additional service. Orders for fire-treated fabric can be made by email, please contact us. There is the option of either the domestic treatment at £3.60/metre, Crib 5 treatment at £3.95/metre or contract drape treatment at £3.60/metre. 

All orders must be 5 metres or more to be fire treated. Please note, 0.5m must be taken away for testing, and all fire treatments bear the risk of 5% fabric shrinkage, which should be taken into account when calculating how much fabric you need. It is the buyers responsibility to choose the appropriate treatment for the intended use. 

The Lead time for all FR treatments is 15-20 working days.
