Colour Matching Service

Thank you for your enquiry regarding a custom colour for your furniture. We would be delighted to help with this.

We use the internationally recognised RAL and NCS colour systems for our bespoke finishes. This gives you a vast range of precise shades to choose from, ensuring your furniture is perfectly tailored to your vision.

 Individual Samples: Individual colour swatches can often be purchased directly from the RAL website.

Our Standard Finish

Please note that our standard process is to apply your chosen colour as a translucent stain. This beautifully tints the timber while allowing the natural grain and texture of the wood to remain visible. If you would prefer a solid, opaque painted finish instead, please let us know and we can provide you with a quote.

We provide two different colour matching options:

Colour matching to wood (this is staining wood)

We can stain our furniture to different wood colours to match your desired finish. All we need is an image or wood sample, that most accurately represents the colour you would like us to match, to ensure the closest match is achieved. We will then create 2 to 3 bespoke stain samples and send these to you to choose from. This process will continue until you are happy with the wood colour match.

  • Please send us images or a sample of the wood you would like to match. 

Matching to colour (this is painting wood)

If you are looking for a solid colour finish, simply choose from one of the following colour charts RAL or NCS. We will then prepare a swatch and send this to you so that you can be sure you are happy with the colour, before proceeding with your order. We can paint solid colour on natural woods so that the beautiful grain and texture of wood shows through, or if you prefer a smooth painted finish we can do this too.

  • Please send us the name and or code of a colour from a chart
  • Please let us know if you require a “smooth” or “wood grained” finish

Proceeding with our Colour matching sample service

To go ahead with this service simply 'add to basket'. Once you have completed checkout we will be in touch to proceed with the colour matching service.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are here to help you select the perfect shade.

    Care & Support

    CARE
    At Tom Schneider, your furniture is made with passion and is produced to the highest quality. Each piece is carefully handcrafted using the finest materials from around the world to achieve the perfect, curved finish.
    While they’re low-maintenance, we’ve got some tips to help you keep your furniture looking great for years to come.

    Wooden furniture
    Wood is a wonderful natural material. Our woods are responsibly sourced and no two pieces are the same, which adds to the uniqueness and beauty of your furniture. While we make every effort to match all products, it must be appreciated that by using real wood there will always be a variance in tone, grain and markings, which is testament to its origin as a tree.
    Wood care:
    Natural woods mature over time so to avoid noticeable colour differences we recommend exposing table leaves and moving ornaments regularly.
    All wooden products should be protected from intense sunlight to avoid bleaching and furniture should not be placed too close to heat sources such as radiators, as this could damage the finish.
    Use a duster or very lightly dampened cloth to clean the wooden surfaces of your furniture, taking care not to leave it wet. To add a sheen we recommend using natural wax based polishes. However, household polishes such as Pledge or Mr Sheen etc can also be used.

    Glass
    Our tempered glass tops and shelves are toughened and tested to UK and European industry standards. The toughening process sometimes creates a strain pattern which can look like waviness in the glass when viewed from certain angles, and should not be considered a flaw. In the event that the glass is accidentally broken, it will shatter relatively safely into small clusters.
    Please note that glass is susceptible to scratches and must be protected from any sharp or abrasive items when in use. We suggest cleaning glass tops with a glass cleaning agent and a microfibre cloth.
    After successful delivery, glass is not covered by our extended guarantee. Tom Schneider is not responsible for any damage to glass after the delivery has been made.

    Upholstery
    Chic, soft and luxurious, our wide selection of fabrics encompasses natural and synthetic fibres and offers you an assortment of colours and textures to choose from. Due to the variety of fabrics available to customers, we recommend employing a specialist upholstery cleaning company to clean your dining chairs.
    Leathers
    We offer a leather range of the highest quality from one of the UK’s leading suppliers.
    Our leathers are natural, and much like our own skin, it breathes, is warm and each hide displays unique, individual characteristics such as scars and growth lines. These marks are not defects, but inherent features of high quality, natural leather that are a testament to its origin.

    Leather care:
    All leather upholstery should be protected from prolonged exposure to intense sunlight to prevent it from drying out and fading in colour. Leather can accumulate dust easily so try to dust regularly with a soft cloth to keep its pores free from build-ups of dust and grime.
    Occasional overall cleaning should be carried out by wiping over with an ordinary detergent and water, applied using a damp cloth, taking care not to over-wet the leather. Polishes and stain removers should be avoided as they may damage the leather.

    Fabrics
    Our Essential and Premium fabric selections offer a multitude of upholstery options in a variety of finishes, each carefully selected for their quality, durability and of course, for how beautifully they complement our woods. Whether you’ve chosen a patterned design, a luxurious plain, or a glamourous velvety finish, you’re welcome to get in touch with us for any advice you may need when caring for your dining chairs. Each has a unique composition and will need specific care for everyday cleaning though we do recommend professional cleaning for any major spills or stains.

    True Craftmanship

    Unique to the furniture industry, Tom’s progressive designs and unconventional shapes meant he also had to create the production methods to bring his design to life. Each collection and every design requires its own approach, so there is no large-scale machinery in our workshop; instead we use jigs and formers to coax the wood by hand into the curved shapes we’re renowned for. Our master craftsmen continue to uphold our tradition of superior quality and beautiful finishing. Our story
