Can I get a wallpaper sample of the exact design and material before ordering?
Yes. Inchwall samples are 12 by 12 inches of the exact design in the exact colorway on the material you plan to order, for $8 with free shipping. The $8 is credited back when you order the mural. Samples arrive in about a week.
Why 12 by 12 inches
Most wallpaper samples are 8 by 8 inches or smaller, and some are a generic swatch of the material rather than your design. Twelve inches shows the scale of a pattern and enough of a mural to judge color. Stick a peel-and-stick sample on the actual wall for a few days to test your paint.
