What is Free samples?
In short
Whether a brand sends you fabric or rug samples at no charge before you order.
Free samples mean the brand posts a swatch or a small cut of its fabric or rug at no charge, so you can check colour and texture against your own room before committing. Policies often separate free items from paid ones, so a yes here does not mean every swatch is free. B&Q lists free samples. Allay Lamp, BEASEN Smart Window Shades and Bestecanvas.nl do not, so budget for ordering a swatch instead.
