Editorial Policy

Mission and values

  • Artfull Houses publishes practical, inspiring home decor and interior content that helps readers create calm, cohesive spaces with achievable styling ideas and sustainable finds.
  • Content emphasizes clarity, usefulness, and visual guidance, focusing on approachable design principles, product transparency, and long‑term value.

Scope of content

  • Topics include room refresh guides, styling tips, color and material advice, product roundups, DIY how‑tos, seasonal edits, and home organization ideas.
  • Off‑scope topics (e.g., unrelated lifestyle, medical, political content) are not covered to maintain a focused, trustworthy resource.

Editorial standards

  • Accuracy: Every article is fact‑checked for dimensions, materials, finish names, care instructions, pricing context, and availability at time of writing. When uncertainty exists, it is clearly labeled or removed.
  • Originality: All content must be original or properly licensed. Quotations and references are attributed; third‑party imagery requires permission or compliant licensing.

Sourcing and citations

  • Priority is given to primary sources (brand spec sheets, installation guides, certifications like FSC/Greenguard) and reputable publications. Claims (e.g., durability, sustainability, cleanability) include source context.
  • If a product is unavailable, alternatives are disclosed and updated where feasible; archival posts may note “availability changed since publication.”

Review and updates

  • Editorial reviews include structural edit, line edit, fact check, and final proof for spelling, grammar, and accessibility.
  • Posts are periodically reviewed; significant changes (e.g., core recommendation updates) are dated and noted within the article’s update history.

Product recommendations

  • Recommendations are merit‑based, comparing quality, materials, finish options, dimensions, lead times, price tiers, warranty, and customer service. Paid placement does not determine inclusion.
  • When relevant, pros/cons, care requirements, and known limitations are disclosed to help readers make informed choices.

Affiliate links and sponsorships

  • Articles may include affiliate links or sponsored collaborations; these are disclosed clearly and do not influence editorial judgments or ratings.
  • Sponsored content follows the same research, testing, and review standards as non‑sponsored content, with transparent labeling at the top of the page.

Images and visuals

  • Visuals aim to be instructive and realistic in color and scale. Any edits that materially change appearance (e.g., recoloring) are noted.
  • Captions identify key products or techniques when helpful; diagrams and checklists are used to clarify multi‑step guidance.

Voice and style

  • Tone is calm, encouraging, and practical—prioritizing step‑by‑step clarity and actionable next steps over jargon.
  • Measurements use consistent units; accessibility and mobile readability (short paragraphs, clear headings, alt text) are required.

Community and contributions

  • Reader comments are welcomed; spam, harassment, or discriminatory language is removed. Corrections or clarifications can be requested via the contact methods below.
  • Guest posts must meet all editorial standards, disclose conflicts, and include a short bio; purely promotional submissions are declined.

Conflicts of interest

  • Any material connection to brands (gifts, discounts, sponsorships, prior employment) is disclosed. Editors and contributors recuse themselves from coverage where conflicts exist.

Corrections and transparency

  • Substantive errors are corrected promptly with an “Updated” note summarizing the change and date. Minor typos may be corrected without a note.
  • If performance testing is referenced, the methods, environment, and limitations are summarized or linked.

Legal and safety

  • DIY and installation content includes safety reminders, tool lists, and indications when professional services are recommended. Building codes vary; readers are advised to verify local requirements.
  • This content is for informational purposes and is not professional advice; see the site Disclaimer for details.
