Editorial standards

CuratedCorners aims to make home décor guidance clear, useful and grounded in the realities of everyday homes. These standards describe how we plan, prepare and maintain our articles.

Content standards

Articles should be original, relevant to their subject and written in straightforward language. We focus on practical decorating questions and explain the ideas behind our suggestions so readers can adapt them to their own spaces.

Our content is intended to inspire and inform, not to prescribe one correct style. We recognise that budgets, access needs, family routines and personal preferences differ. A suggestion should be considered in context rather than treated as a rule.

Research and review

Guidance draws on established design principles and, where appropriate, hands-on testing. We review drafts for clarity, usefulness and consistency with the article's purpose before publication.

We aim to revisit content when we identify an important error or when a material detail changes. Product availability, prices and local requirements can change over time, so readers should independently verify information that affects a purchase or project.

Decorating and safety guidance

Our decorating articles provide general information. Check measurements, product instructions, accessibility needs and local codes for your own home. Content is not a substitute for professional design, construction, electrical or safety advice. Seek qualified help for work that requires specialist skills or permits.

Image sourcing

Photos are sourced from services such as Unsplash or Pexels, subject to the applicable licence and attribution requirements. Alt text is written to describe the visible scene for readers using assistive technology. Images illustrate ideas and may not depict the exact products or results discussed.

Independence and disclosures

If sponsored content, affiliate links or other material commercial relationships are introduced, they will be identified clearly near the relevant content in accordance with applicable requirements. A product mention should not be taken as a guarantee of its suitability or availability.

Corrections and reader feedback

Readers can report an error, request clarification or suggest a future topic by emailing hello@curatedcorners.site. We assess reports and update affected content when appropriate.

When a correction materially changes an article, we aim to make the revised information clear to readers. Thoughtful feedback helps us keep the site useful and accurate.
