FAQs

Which countries do you ship to?

I currently ship to Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

If you'd like to place an order to another location, please get in touch and we can discuss options! 

Does the furniture come fully assembled?

For more efficient shipping, I flat pack some of our products. The legs are really easy to attach using the pre-drilled holes and the screws included. All you need is a screwdriver and five minutes. 

Where do you source the hairpin legs?

The hairpin legs are all sourced from European suppliers. Currently, the ones in stock are made in the UK and Poland. 

What paint do you use on the furniture?

I use the furniture paint range from a top Finnish brand called Tikkurila, and I mix this with artist quality acrylic paint to obtain all the exciting colours I want. 

How do I care for my Life In Colour furniture?

To keep your item looking its best, please use a coaster under any drinks, and clean the tabletop by using a dry or damp microfibre cloth (or similar). Do not use harsh chemicals or wet cloths to avoid damaging the lacquer.

How much does shipping cost?

Furniture and original artwork: It's free of charge within the EU, and a very reasonable 15 GBP to the UK. 

Printed products (e.g., mugs, posters): Shipping will be calculated at check-out.

Custom projects: I will quote the cost of shipping on a case-by-case basis. 

I'm placing an order from the UK. Will I be charged VAT?

When you browse, prices will be displayed including Finnish VAT at 25.5%. When you go to check out and add your address, the price will displayed without Finnish VAT, and you will be UK VAT when receiving your order.
