Product samples before you order
DecoriQ sends home decor samples to businesses in the EU before they order in volume: catalogue products as they are, and pre-production samples of your private label candle, textile or ceramic. Light the candle, wash the throw, hold the glass to the light.
Sample costs are credited against your order, and the approved sample becomes the reference for production and inspection.

Frequently asked questions
Are home decor samples free?
No, but you get the cost back: samples are charged at cost, the product plus express shipping, and the amount is credited against your order of that product.
Can I get a sample of a chair or a floor mirror?
Yes, but bulky and fragile items cost much more to send by express. DecoriQ shows the cost first, so you can decide whether a sample, a fabric swatch or a video check is the better choice.
What should I check on a scented candle sample?
Burn it several times in a normal room and note the melt pool, sooting and scent strength against the supplier’s data. Check the jar, the lid and the warning label too. Burn time and scent throw are per supplier data, confirmed on the sample.
How are colours approved for textiles and ceramics?
Against a physical sample in daylight, not a screen. Dye lots and glazes vary slightly between batches, so DecoriQ keeps the approved piece as the colour standard for production and reorders.
Will the bulk order be identical to the approved sample?
It will match it within normal manufacturing tolerances: the approved sample is the reference for production and inspection. Tolerances matter most for handmade ceramics, mouth-blown glass and natural fibres.
How long do home decor samples take to arrive?
Typically 7–14 days to an address in the EU by express courier for catalogue samples. Pre-production samples with your logo, colour, glaze or scent need extra time for branding and colour matching.
