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.

Great service

Great service. Arrived within the stated delivery deadline. Good quality and already framed. I painted it and gave it as a Xmas gift. My mum loved it.
Will definitely be buying more.

The canvas came framed as purchased

The canvas came framed as purchased. Very good quality at a reasonable cost. The paints (acrylic) are very good. This was only my second attempt at painting by numbers and I’m so pleased with the end result. Would heartily recommend house art if you are starting out on a new hobby.

It’s a con on all fronts

It’s a con on all fronts.
Not a UK company, based in china.
Delivery times took over a month to arrive. Box was heavily damaged.
And they won’t offer a refund even tho on their website it says ‘full refund, no questions asked’

Please Avoid!

Not bad- but not nice for giving as gift

Delivery time was 3 weeks in the UK. Meant to be a Xmas present, luckily i ordered new ones from Paintings by Number Limited last minute, they were fab. So at the end i kept the Houseart ones for myself, because they were fine for me but not nice presentation to give as a gift. So i rate 3/5.

***Update: order issues has been resolved

***as of today, the below issues have been resolved and Houseart sent me 3 additional paints as a good gesture

I still think they need to improve on the communication and transport as my packages were significantly delay. So I changed the rating to 3 stars. ***

This has been one of the worst online purchasing experiences I have had in recent years. I placed an order at the end of November (over £300) based on Houseart’s advertised 5–10 day delivery and the fact that several items were explicitly sold as “framed”. None of these commitments were met.
Key issues: (i) false delivery guidance with not a single item arrived within the advertised timeframe; (ii) Christmas failure despite ordering well in advance, nothing arrived before Christmas, forcing me to buy alternative gifts; (iii) incorrect products with 2 paintings ordered with frame were delivered unframed, leaving me to frame myself; (iv) some items were not delivered to my address and had to be manually collected from third-party pickup points; (v) one parcel was delivered completely empty, filled only with cardboard. No item, no identification, no explanation.

Dear Maxime Rousseff,

Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience. We are genuinely sorry for the seriousness and scale of the issues you’ve described. An order of this value should never result in this level of inconvenience, disappointment, or frustration, and we fully understand why you feel let down.

What you have outlined — late deliveries, items not arriving before Christmas, framed products arriving unframed, parcels redirected to pickup points, and especially the delivery of an empty package — is completely unacceptable. This does not reflect the standards we aim to provide, and we acknowledge that we failed to meet our commitments in your case.

We are also very concerned to hear that, despite multiple attempts, you have not yet received a satisfactory resolution or compensation. That is not how a matter of this importance should be handled, particularly after you made every effort to resolve it privately and in good faith.

We would like to urgently review your case in full and resolve all outstanding issues, including missing items, incorrect products, and appropriate compensation. Please contact us directly at support@houseart.uk, referencing your order number, so your case can be escalated immediately to senior support for priority handling.

We sincerely apologise for the time, stress, and disappointment this experience has caused, especially around the Christmas period. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
Houseart Team

Our team would very much like the opportunity to review your order and assist you directly to resolve this matter properly. Please contact us at support@houseart.uk

Thank you sincerely for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is extremely important to us and helps us continue improving our service and communication.

Brilliant paint-by-numbers picture

I absolutely loved this paint-by-numbers picture! The design was fabulous, and painting was really easy to follow. Every section was simple to navigate, making the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable.
Now it’s finished, the painting looks great - vibrant, detailed, and more professional than I expected. I’m really pleased with how it turned out and would highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a fun and rewarding project!

Avoid this company

As numerous others have stated - avoid this company. Ordered two kits as gifts for Christmas at beginning of December and they arrived on 28 December too late to give to children. 2 kits arrived in one crumpled box and one set of paintbrushes. Have asked to return kits numerous occasions but only received discounts on further purchases - their promise of full refund on their website is being ignored.

Dear Customer,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it must have been, especially as the items were intended as Christmas gifts. Please accept our sincere apologies for the late delivery, the poor condition of the packaging, and the inconvenience this caused.

Regarding the paintbrushes, we’d like to clarify that our paint by numbers kits are designed to include one set of brushes per order, not per kit. However, we understand this may not have been clear and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

We’re also sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced when requesting a return. Our intention is never to ignore our refund policy, and we regret if our previous responses did not adequately address your request. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

Please contact us again at support@houseart.uk with your order number . We will have a senior support agent review your case and arrange an appropriate resolution in line with our return and refund policy.

Thank you for your feedback. It helps us improve both our service and communication.

Kind regards,
Houseart Team

Dear TDIN,

We are very sorry to read about your experience and understand how upsetting this situation has been for you. Please accept our sincere apologies for the late delivery and for the frustration caused during the return and refund process.

We would like to clarify that our intention is never to refuse a legitimate return. If our previous communication was unclear or caused the impression that your concerns were not being taken seriously, we truly regret that. Offering alternatives or partial refunds is sometimes suggested as an option, but it should never replace your right to request a proper resolution.

We take your comments regarding our refund policy and company transparency seriously and will review this internally to improve how this information is communicated.

To resolve this matter as quickly as possible, we kindly ask you to contact us again at support@houseart.uk with your order number. A senior member of our support team will personally review your case and work with you toward a fair solution.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is important and helps us improve our service.

Kind regards,

Misleading company name.

Mis-leading with the company name HouseartUk. Item actually from China. If had know that so near to Christmas I would have gone else where. Ordered on 15th Dec. Received Item on 7th January.
The parcel had been ripped open and caused the canvas to be wet around the edge where parcel opened, and quite creased.
Have emailed you today.

We also apologise for the inconvenience caused by the parcel being delayed with the courier. Our team can contact the courier to investigate the status and push for delivery as soon as possible.

If you are still waiting for your order or would prefer a resolution such as a replacement or refund, please contact us directly at support@houseart.uk with your order number. We will prioritise your case and assist you promptly.
