Ever loved a sample in the showroom, only to get it home and wonder if it’s even the same colour? 👀
Lighting can completely change the way we see colour, texture and finishes. Natural daylight, warm bulbs, cool LEDs and even the direction your room faces can make the exact same sample appear lighter, darker, warmer or cooler.
And it doesn’t stop there. The colours already in your space, your flooring, wall colour and surrounding finishes can all influence how a material looks too.
That’s why we always recommend viewing samples in the actual space and at different times of the day before making the final call.
The sample hasn’t changed. The light around it has.
