The WorkRoom will notify all customers if a product is back-ordered and will only process the order upon approval by the customer of the back-order date. Because the order will ship directly from the manufacturer, The WorkRoom will process your payment at the time your order is placed.

The WorkRoom will send updates on your order. In many cases your order may arrive prior to us receiving tracking from the manufacturer.

We guarantee that all products are first quality, shipped directly from the manufacturers to you or your workroom. This ensures authenticity and top quality for every order.
Return Policy
Why should I order a sample?
Due to variances in monitors, the colors and patterns displayed may vary slightly from the actual product. Physical samples should be ordered prior to specifying. If you do not like the actual item when it arrives, it is not returnable. Note that samples are randomly cut and dye lots are not guaranteed, they are only a representation of the actual fabric or wallpaper. Due to the high demand for samples. Only 1 sample allowed per colorway. 15 samples maximum per order for free shipping. Please note: Swatch color may differ slightly from finished fabric due to variations in dye lot. Also, the actual image colors you see on the screen might be different than the actual fabric or wallpaper due to variations in screens. All images are supplied to us by each brand.
What is a Cut of Approval (CFA)?
A Cut of Approval (CFA) is a sample cutting of the actual material from your order. It allows you to confirm dye lot accuracy or see exactly what you’ll be receiving. Dye lots can vary between shipments, so we cannot guarantee an exact match to your sample book. If a precise color match is critical, we recommend ordering a CFA for fabrics and Phillip Jeffries natural wallpapers.
How It Works:
- All CFA requests must be called in.
- To request a CFA, you must place an order on the telephone to reserve the required quantity.
- We will reserve the quantity and send you a cutting of the actual material.
- Once you approve the cutting, we’ll ship the full order.
- There is no additional charge for CFA service, but please note it may delay shipment by a few days due to processing time.
Important Notes:
- CFAs are available only for in-stock items and are subject to the brand’s approval and minimum order requirements.
- CFAs are not available for Clarke & Clarke items, items that ship directly from the mill, or wallpapers (except for Phillip Jeffries' naturals).
- Dye lot variations are common, especially for fabrics with a high percentage of cotton, linen, or natural fibers, as well as grass cloths or sisal wallpapers. These variations are not considered defects and are subject to our return policy.
- For wallpaper, no dye lot samples are available. The buyer agrees to accept the current dye lot offered by the manufacturer.
- If you under-order, we cannot guarantee that additional quantities will match the original dye lot. We recommend consulting a professional wallcovering installer to confirm the amount needed.
- There are no returns or refunds for over-ordered quantities.
Swatches & Samples
Swatches for fabric, trims, and wallpapers can be purchased directly from each product page by clicking on the "SWATCH" in the drop down. Swatch sizes typically range from 4" x 4" to a full repeat and are cut randomly from each brand. Please note that we are unable to accommodate requests for specific swatch sizes.
- Only one sample per pattern/colorway may be ordered at a time. Any duplicates will be removed and refunded.
- Samples are priced at $6.00 each.
- You can order up to 15 swatches per order with free shipping.
For a larger fabric sample, we recommend ordering a full yard where available. Please note that Schumacher and Ralph Lauren fabrics have a two-yard minimum order.
Some brands, like Pindler and Iksel, do not offer samples. Iksel items are special order only. Additionally, outlet and limited-stock items may not have samples available. If a sample is unavailable at the time of your order, it will be removed and refunded.
Important Delivery Information
Please take note of the following:
- You will own the products once payment is received in full and the items are delivered to you.
- We are unable to redirect orders to a different address after they have been shipped.
- Our vendors' carriers do not deliver to P.O. Boxes or use General Delivery.
Do you collect sales tax?
Yes, we are required by law to collect sales tax for shipments to states with state sales tax. States can now require online retailers and remote sellers to collect tax, even if they don’t have a physical presence in the state. Sales tax will be automatically calculated at checkout once you enter your shipping address.

Why Can't I See Images Online?
Our product database includes a large selection of fabric patterns, but with over 250,000 options, some images may be missing. For the best results, it's helpful if you know the vendor and pattern you're looking for.
Can You Get Discontinued Fabrics?
Fabrics may be discontinued by the vendor or mill, and if a pattern is out of stock, we’re unable to order it. However, we’re happy to check availability with the vendor. If a pattern is discontinued and out of stock, we recommend selecting an alternative.
What if I Can’t Find the Pattern I'm Looking For?
If you can’t locate a pattern, it may be discontinued or too new to be listed. Please contact us at sales@theworkroom.llc, and we’ll gladly assist you. You can also search for a pattern by name or number using the search icon (magnifying glass) in the upper right corner.
Restrictions:
Please note that products from the Phillip Jeffries Luxe Natural and Specialty Books are unavailable for purchase on our site. Additionally, Phillip Jeffries items can only be shipped within the United States due to their company policies. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to assist with any questions you may have!
Ordering Wallpaper
Wallpapers are sold by the roll, double roll*, yard, or panel. Please review the product description carefully to ensure you're ordering the correct quantity. We also recommend consulting a professional wallpaper installer to help determine your needs (see below to find a professional).
*Note: A double roll typically contains one roll with an average width of 21 inches and a length of about 33 feet. This usually includes two shorter rolls of 16.5 feet each, depending on the product.
Estimating Roll Quantity
We often get asked how many rolls to order. While we can provide general estimates, we strongly advise consulting a professional installer for an accurate count. They can measure your space and ensure you order the right amount.
- US manufacturers generally ship double rolls, priced by the double roll.
- European manufacturers typically ship long single rolls, equivalent to a US double roll.
- Some brands like Innovations, Phillip Jeffries, Schumacher and Winfield Thybony price wallpaper by the yard, with specific minimums and increments.
How to Measure
Measure the height and width of the walls you want to cover. Include details like the length, width, and horizontal/vertical repeats, and share these with your installer. It's generally recommended to order 15-20% more than you think you'll need to account for waste and pattern matching.
Be mindful that wallpaper comes in dye lots, so if you need more later, the new batch may not match the original exactly. The larger the pattern, the more extra paper you may need to match repeats.
How Much Does a Roll Cover?
- Double Roll: Covers approximately 56 square feet
- Euro Roll: Covers approximately 56.38 square feet
