This page explains how Home Decor UP creates, checks and updates its articles and tools.
Our aim
We publish practical, accurate and easy to follow information that helps you make better decisions about your home. We write for readers, not for search engines or advertisers.
How we research
We use manufacturer specifications, published standards and guidance, trusted industry sources and practical experience. Measurements, rules of thumb and prices are checked against current sources at the time of writing, and we link to sources where it helps.
Our tools
Each calculator uses a common rule of thumb or standard method, explained under "How this works" on its page. Results are estimates to help you plan. Prices are rough averages and vary by country, city and supplier, and currency conversions use fixed approximate rates.
Use of software and AI
We may use software, including AI tools, to help with research, drafting and building our tools. We check what we publish, and we take responsibility for it and correct it when something is wrong.
Corrections and updates
If you spot a mistake, please tell us through our Contact page. We review every report, fix confirmed errors quickly and refresh pages when products, prices or guidance change.
Independence and advertising
We may show ads and may earn a commission from some links. This never decides what we write or recommend. Advertisers do not review or approve our content, and any sponsored content is clearly labelled.
