A display device for multiplying images of a sample to give an impression of a full wall or floor covering. In a first version, a tray is surrounded with four mirrors at right angles to each other and located in a cabinet with a viewing window in one side for viewing multiple images of a sample on the tray reflected in the mirrors.

In both embodiments, lamps are provided for simulating the effects of different illuminations.
