We offer refunds in accordance with the Distance Selling Act. Bespoke items, wallpapers and fabrics cannot be refunded.

It is the clients responsibility to provide sufficient insurance for goods in transit. Whilst we ensure all items are correctly packed, wrapped and shipped, we cannot be held responsible for any damage prior to delivery.
