We’ve all been there — you spot the perfect fabric online, fall in love instantly, hit “add to cart”… and then it shows up looking totally different. 😩
Maybe it’s darker, shinier, or not quite the cozy vibe you imagined. Don’t worry — we’ve learned that lesson too. That’s exactly why we always say:
👉 Order fabric samples first. Always.
Yes, You Can (and Definitely Should!) Order Fabric Samples
At DelightMyTaste, we’re big believers that good design starts with touch and feel. Because no matter how fancy your screen is, colors and textures just don’t translate 100% accurately online.
When you see the fabric in your own home, under your lighting, next to your decor — that’s when you know if it’s “the one.” 💛
🔍 Got Your Samples? Here’s How to Test Them Like a Pro
Once your samples arrive, don’t just give them a quick glance — have some fun with it! Here’s how to really get to know your fabrics:
🌞 1. See How They Look in Different Light
Morning sunlight, cozy evening lamps, cloudy-day vibes — fabrics change their mood with the lighting. Check how each sample shifts throughout the day.
✋ 2. Feel the Texture
Run your hand over the surface. Soft and smooth? Textured and structured? Imagine how it’ll feel during your next Netflix marathon or Sunday nap.
💪 3. Test Its Strength
Got a washable fabric? Toss that sample in with your laundry! See how it holds up after a few spins. Want to go the extra mile? Try a tiny stain test — ketchup, coffee, or cat pawprint (hey, life happens).
🐾 4. Check for Pet Hair & Lint
Press the fabric against a fuzzy blanket or your couch. Does it attract every stray hair in the house, or does it stay nice and clean? Grab a lint roller and test how easy it is to clean.
