Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 226 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers really appreciate the great quality of the canvas, vibrant paints, and useful brushes included in the complete kits. People find the relaxing painting process deeply enjoyable and are consistently pleased with how wonderful the final artwork turns out on their walls. However, some reviewers were not happy with the lengthy delivery times, noting that shipments take weeks and actually come from China rather than the UK as expected. A few other people also felt that customer service was entirely unresponsive when dealing with missing items, damaged packaging, or unexpected shipping delays.

4 weeks still no delivery

4 weeks still no delivery, have sent them numerous messages, keep getting same message back "Please be Patient," I think I have , now requested a refund, waiting for an answer. I got a one from another company delivered next day . Says UK on the website does not mention despatched from China. Do not trust this company. Very dissapointed.

Update on my review. Received an e mail from this company, have now received a refund , my parcel arrived yesterday 16/3/26 nearly five weeks from ordering,although it did take until I reviewed on Trustpilot, to resolve this. If they declared dispatched from China it would help buyers.

Ships from Chinar…

The website in no way makes it clear that the products ship from China and will take AGES to arrive.

Should be Houseart.China

Ordered over 3 weeks ago and still waiting. Note the name Houseart.uk is misleading, this is a Chinese business with goods shipped from China. Delivery times quoted are optimistic, the actual process is that orders take around a week to be processed and shipped but will then be held in customs for who knows how long. Once over that hurdle they will enter the mysterious world of Evri for final delivery if you are lucky.
Update: After chasing Evri and complaining to Houseart, I finally received my order (took 31 days) and a 50% refund. Houseart were very prompt at replying and refunding so upgraded this review from 1 star. They did, however, request this review be removed so only upgraded to 2 stars.

Loved this paint by numbers

I have loved doing the paint by numbers that I purchased from Houseart. The paints and canvas are great quality. I chose 36 paints for my picture, had to deduct a star as a couple of the smaller areas the number was blurred and I couldn’t make out what it was even with the magnifying glass and guide, so picked a colour that was in the area. But I will be purchasing another very soon. All in all one of the best paint by numbers I have done.

Wouldn’t use again

Our picture was sent having been folded , not rolled and the box was squashed . We are unable to use as so creased. Tried three times to email with photos, kept saying hadn’t got them and then got a random email to say can’t see the photos !! Following on with more emails requesting refund but still no response .
We have now had contact and full refund provided . My suggestion to the company is not to ignore emails sent , a response is all we require . This will help the business in the future as customers just need someone to talk to.

Dear Sharon,

We are very sorry for this experience, and we want to clearly acknowledge that in this case, we made a mistake.

The canvas should never have been folded, and the condition of the packaging you described does not meet our standards. We also sincerely apologise for the communication issues you encountered when trying to send photos — that should not have added further frustration.

As soon as we were able to properly review the situation, we issued a full refund to resolve the matter promptly. When something goes wrong, we believe in taking responsibility and putting it right.

We are currently reviewing our packaging procedures and customer support processes to ensure this does not happen again. We are a small and growing team, and situations like this help us improve our systems and service.

We genuinely apologise again for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Houseart Team

Avoid - item not sent

Ordered a paint by numbers on 10th Feb for a birthday on 22nd Feb. Very misleading website that quoted 3-5 working days for delivery and look like it's in the UK, when in fact your orders from China. No sign of the order, tracking has been stuck for almost 3 weeks when I write this on 27th Feb. Customer service non existent and no update as to when the order will be received. Took a week for them to respond to my email to say they would despatch now but it said despatched on 11th Feb. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

This company is dreadful

This company is dreadful! They would not give me a refund, I gave them a bad review and they said they would only refund me if I changed my review to a good one. I see they have done this to other people. This is awful and they should be held to account. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY there are plenty others of much better quality!

Perfect for couples

I got this as a gift for me and my girlfriend to do and it was such a great idea! It’s really nice for us to have something to do every weekend whenever we get a spare hour here or there. We’re so excited to see what it looks like when it’s finished!

Cute custom paint by numbers

My husband bought me a custom paint by number canvas for my birthday from our kids, using a photo of us which was adorable! Great selection of brushes, paints and it even came with a framing kit. Very happy customer. Only thing I would say is it is weird that Google listings and the websites state “UK” when the product came from china, and consequently took a bit longer than expected! No reflection on product, just a remark.

Great products

I’ve done two paint by numbers now; one a custom print of my dog and the other of a watercolour heart. They look amazing and I’m now buying more! Can’t wait for the next lot to arrive will be ordering on the 3 for 2 offer. Delivery takes a little while, which they do state so if you’re happy to wait it’s worth it.

The picture choice is good

The picture choice is good, especially being able to choose the detail level. I went medium but might go high next time.
They do ship from China so allow a couple of weeks for delivery but if you plan ahead this isn't a problem.
