Collaboration

I love partnering with brands, shops, and creators who care about thoughtful interiors and everyday comfort. Homedesingideas.com is a personal site where I test ideas in real rooms and share what truly works. If your product or service can make a home more beautiful, functional, or calming, I would be happy to explore a collaboration.

What I offer

I create approachable, first person content tailored to United States readers who want practical beauty at home. Partnerships can include sponsored posts, styled room stories, product integrations, how to tutorials, seasonal refreshes, newsletter features, and social extensions. I also develop custom deliverables like step by step photography, short vertical videos, and mood boards that translate your product into real life use.

My audience fit

My readers are home improvers who like clear instructions, honest product notes, and timeless style with modern touches. They are budget conscious but willing to invest when quality and durability are clear. They appreciate neutral palettes layered with texture, vintage accents, and practical layouts that support daily routines.

Creative approach

I design from feeling words first – calm, grounded, bright, playful – then translate those into materials, colors, and shapes. I shoot in natural light when possible, style to show true scale and use, and write in an approachable voice that explains the why behind every choice. I avoid over staging. I aim for relatable spaces with strong details that readers can try this weekend.

Process and timeline

I keep collaborations straightforward.

Discovery – we align on goals, key messages, required tags or mentions, and success metrics
Concept and mood – I share a direction for styling, palette, and scene list
Production – I source, style, photograph, and write
Review – you receive a draft for factual checks and required legal language
Publish and amplify – content goes live on the agreed date with social and newsletter support when included
Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope, shipping, and complexity.

Authenticity and editorial control

I only feature products I would use in my own home. I keep control of concepts, words, and images to protect my voice and my readers trust. I share honest pros and cons and I will not guarantee a positive review. If something does not perform as expected, I propose a solution focused angle or testing period before publication.

Usage rights

Standard partnerships include organic publication on my site and social channels. If you would like to repurpose images, copy, or video in your paid ads, product pages, email, retail displays, or social accounts, I offer separate licensing with clear terms for duration, geography, and media. Raw files are not provided unless agreed in writing.

Disclosure and compliance

I follow United States guidelines for endorsements and disclose sponsored content and gifted items clearly. Affiliate links may be included when relevant. I also provide any required legal or safety notes for projects and materials and ask partners to provide current specifications, care instructions, and warranty details.

Product loans, gifting, and returns

I accept gifted or loaned items for consideration. Acceptance does not guarantee coverage. If a project requires multiple options to style correctly, I may request a short loan window. Returns and shipping labels for non used items are the responsibility of the brand unless we agree otherwise.

Measurement and reporting

I provide performance snapshots after publication that may include page views, time on page, top geographies, on page engagement signals, and social reach. For affiliate or trackable links, I can include click counts when available. I protect reader privacy and do not share personal data.

Categories I work with

Furniture, lighting, textiles, paint, wall finishes, flooring, hardware
Organization, storage, cleaning tools that protect finishes
Decor accents like art, mirrors, tableware, planters, and frames
Small home tech that improves comfort without visual clutter
Materials and tools for DIY projects that are safe for indoor use

What I do not do

I avoid promotions that require misleading claims, heavy greenwashing, or unrealistic before and after promises. I do not feature products that are unsafe for typical households, that require specialized installation without licensed pros, or that conflict with my aesthetic and quality standards.

Availability and rates

Packages and rates vary by scope, usage, and timeline. I am happy to share a current media kit with audience snapshots, example posts, and starting rates upon request. Please include your desired deliverables, key dates, budget range, and any must have messaging so I can respond precisely.

For press samples, ship only SKUs you are comfortable being photographed and tested under normal home use. If a sample is time sensitive, note the date. If you require returns, include a prepaid label and window. I donate or responsibly recycle packing materials.
