Choosing the perfect blinds or curtains for your home isn’t just about picking a colour you like online and hitting ‘add to cart’. It’s about making sure they’ll look right, feel right and live well in your space, and that’s where fabric samples come in.
At Tuiss Blinds Online, we offer up to 20 fabric samples for free, so you can take the guesswork out of choosing and feel completely confident before placing your order.
Here’s why ordering samples is such a smart move, and exactly how to use them.
Why Samples Matter
Let’s be honest – screens can lie. The colour, texture, and even weight of a fabric can look very different on your phone or laptop compared to how it appears in your hands. Depending on your device settings, that ‘neutral beige’ you fell in love with online could arrive warmer, cooler, or altogether different in real life.
Fabric samples let you:
- See true colour and texture in your actual space.
- Compare fabrics side-by-side, especially if you’re deciding between a few favourites.
- Get a feel for the material, whether you’re after soft and flowy or structured and sleek.
- Try before you buy, with zero pressure and complete freedom to choose.
How to Use Your Samples Like a Pro
Once your sample pack arrives, here’s how to make the most of them:
Bring them into the space
Lay your samples out in the room they’re going in — next to your paint colours, flooring, and furniture. You’ll quickly see which tones work best with your current décor.
Watch how the light hits
Light changes throughout the day. Tape your samples to the wall or window so you can see how they look in early morning light, golden afternoon sun, and with your lamps on in the evening.
Treat them like artwork
Sometimes a fabric that looks a bit bold up close softens beautifully from across the room. Viewing samples vertically helps you imagine them as finished blinds or curtains.
Take your time
Put the kettle on and sit with your samples for a couple of days. The right choice will start to feel obvious once you’ve lived with it for a little while.
Need More? No Problem
If you didn’t find the one straight away, we’ve got good news, you can order up to 20 free samples at a time, so feel free to go back for round two. Our collection includes everything from classic neutrals and natural textures, to show-stopping designer prints from V&A William Morris, Liberty, Clarissa Hulse and more, perfect if you’re looking for something with a little extra personality.
