Are sample fabrics exactly the same as the blinds?
Not necessarily - fabric samples are made from the available fabric batch at the time and so may not be absolutely identical in tone to your installation.
The colour will be the same (unless the manufacturer has changed it for some reason) but each fabric batch wll unavoidably differ very slightly. If the fabric samples are quite old (over a year) then the difference may be more marked.
Also bear in mind that fabrics vary fare more in appearance under different lighting conditions and when they are installed on the roof or the sides of a conservatory.
Companies also offer end of batch fabrics, which should be cheaper.
If you are concerned about the exact tone of a fabric request a sample of the exact batch from which your blinds will be made (if possible).
