Returns

Bought more than you need? Don’t worry, whether you ordered online or in a showroom, you can return unopened paint or wallpaper for a refund (apart from bespoke or archived products, which we make to order so are non-returnable).

Simply contact us to arrange a collection or drop into a showroom with proof of purchase within 28 days and we’ll give you a full refund (excluding any collection fees if applicable).

Something not quite right? Our paint and wallpaper are crafted, packed and delivered by people, so although we take great care, sometimes the odd mistake happens. If something’s not as it should be, please get in touch with our customer services team or the showroom you purchased from within 24 hours, and they’ll let you know the next steps.

For more detailed information, see our full returns policy here

Private United Kingdom customers have certain cancellation rights under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (the Regulations). Farrow & Ball Ltd offers the following returns policy:

1) Returns of unopened items are accepted within 28 days from date of delivery with a valid proof of purchase.

2) Any customer wishing to exercise this right must notify the vendor at either of the following: in writing to Farrow & Ball Ltd. Uddens Estate, Wimborne, Dorset. BH21 7NL (addressed to The Sales Team), by telephone to +44 1202 876141 or by email to sales@farrow-ball.com.

3) As a further condition of the right to return, customers must also arrange (at their own expense) to return the goods in a saleable condition to the address referred to in (2) above as soon as possible. If the vendor pays the return cost then this will be deducted from any refund. The goods will be deemed returned when actually received by the vendor at the said address. Alternatively items can also be returned in person (at no cost) to any Farrow & Ball Showroom with a valid proof of purchase.

4) Pending the return of the goods they must be kept in good condition.

5) Customers shall be entitled to a full refund (less any charges referred to in (3) above) on full compliance with the foregoing 1. Any goods made to customers' specifications or clearly personalised are excluded from the right to cancel 2. The following are bespoke products, manufactured specifically to order and therefore non-returnable - archived or bespoke wallpaper, special colour matches and archived colours.

Where goods delivered by the vendor are received by the customer damaged, the vendor must be notified within 24 hours of delivery in order for replacement goods to be re-sent free of charge. No such claims will be accepted after the 24 hours has elapsed.
