AI-generated concept illustration, not a completed client project photograph.
Finish selection affects appearance, cleaning, repair, and future replacement. A digital render shows intent but cannot establish the exact surface, edge, grain, sheen, or upholstery behavior.
What belongs in a sample set?
Label samples with product reference, supplier, date, and approval status. Review wood, veneer, laminate, metal, upholstery, edge treatments, and hardware under project lighting.
| Review | Record |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Color, grain, sheen, and variation |
| Construction | Surface, substrate, edge, joint, hardware |
| Maintenance | Cleaning method and replacement limits |
| Approval | Drawing revision, approver, date |
Natural variation and substitutions
Agree an acceptable range for natural materials. If a substitute is proposed, compare appearance, construction, maintenance, cost, and schedule before approval.
Care and future orders
Give the operator care instructions and retain the approved schedule. Availability and exact matching still need confirmation.
Fictional planning example
Fictional scenario for illustration, not a delivered project claim. A boutique hotel coordinates a warm wood palette while recording separate lobby and guest-room specifications.
FAQ
Can a rendering approve a furniture finish?
