What reviewers often mention

🎯

Service quality

Low-rated reviews often describe fulfilment problems such as late shipments, missing orders, and incorrect items. Some customers mention broken mechanisms and slow or unhelpful replies when they report issues. A smaller group say replacements arrived quickly and refunds were processed promptly.

💰

Value for money

Reviewers like the free or low-cost samples and say the colour range and finishes feel good value. A few mention discount code issues, refused refunds, or returns they felt were handled poorly. Comments praising pricing and promotions appear more often than direct complaints.

User experience

Many reviews praise website features such as the wall visualiser, paint-pairing suggestions, and straightforward navigation. Reviewers often highlight easy sample ordering and useful colour representation. A minority want guest checkout and mention occasional slow loading.

🔧

Product quality

Wallpaper draws repeated praise for its finish, durability, and how easy it is to hang. Paint feedback is split: several high-rated reviews cite accurate colour, while multiple low-rated reviews report weak coverage, patchiness, and a chalky finish. Isolated reviews mention issues such as striping or batch inconsistencies.

📞

Communication

Several reviewers say they never received order confirmations and couldn’t get support after delivery problems. Others praise named staff for patient, helpful service and for organising replacements. Low-star reviews also mention orders marked delivered but not received, along with unanswered support tickets.

Overall experience

High-rated reviews highlight strong wallpaper design, easy-to-use online tools, and deliveries that met expectations. Low-rated reviews focus on fulfilment failures, unresolved product issues, and disappointing paint performance. Reviews show a clear split between design and usability strengths and recurring problems with delivery, returns, and some paint batches.

Finn Klocko 5/5

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing wall art from Graham & Brown and I must say it was a wonderful experience. As someone who is not particularly smart when it comes to decorating, their website made it extremely easy to navigate and find exactly what I was looking for.

The selection of wall art available on their website is impressive and diverse, catering to different tastes and preferences. From classic prints to contemporary designs, there's something for everyone here. Additionally, the quality of the products they offer is exceptional – my purchase felt sturdy and well-made.

What really stood out to me about this company, though, was their commitment to excellent customer service. The packaging my item came in was thoughtful, ensuring that everything arrived intact without any damage. And when I did have a query before making my purchase, their customer support promptly responded with helpful advice.

Overall, I am thrilled with both the product itself as well as the level of service provided by Graham & Brown - definitely worth checking out if you need some inspiration for sprucing up your space!
