Order free samples
See and feel your new floor at home before you decide. Order free samples from our key collections
and compare colour, texture and quality in your own space.
Choosing a floor from a screen is difficult. Light, furniture and room size can change how a colour
appears – that’s why we always recommend ordering samples. They allow you to test several options
side by side and see how they work with your existing kitchen, walls and fabrics.
With Homes & Floors, you can order free samples from all major ranges, delivered conveniently to your
door. Use them to compare tones, textures and finishes before you place your final order.

Why ordering samples matters
Samples help you make confident decisions. They show you how a floor really behaves in the light
and atmosphere of your home.
Screens and printed brochures can only ever be a guide. Real samples let you check undertones,
surface structure and sheen level in daylight, evening light and artificial lighting – exactly
how you’ll experience the floor every day.
- compare several colours and textures side by side
- see how the floor works with your kitchen fronts, worktops and furniture
- test how easy it is to clean and how it feels underfoot
Tip: Move samples around the room and look at them against skirting, walls and
furniture – this reveals a lot about the final effect.

How to use your samples at home
When your samples arrive, take a little time to test them properly. It will make your final
decision much easier.
- Place samples on the floor, not on a table – this changes how you perceive colour and texture.
- Check them in daylight, evening light and with your normal artificial lighting.
- Move them next to kitchen units, sofas and textiles to see how everything works together.
- Take pictures from different angles – it helps to compare later.
Tip: Narrow your choice down to two favourites per room, then compare them for a
few days before deciding.
Ordering free samples is the most reliable way to choose the right floor with confidence. It allows
you to see materials, colours and finishes exactly as they will appear in your home – before you
commit to a full order.
If you need help selecting suitable options for your project, the Homes & Floors team is happy to
recommend ranges and sample combinations based on your plans.
