FTC-compliant affiliate notice
A number of posts on Decor Obsessed contain affiliate links. If you click one and end up buying something, the retailer pays us a small commission. There's no extra cost on your end — the price is identical to what you'd see visiting that retailer directly.
This is the standard model used across editorial sites that recommend products. We spell it out here because the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to — and frankly, because you deserve to know.
Affiliate programmes Decor Obsessed participates in
- Amazon Associates programme
- Wayfair Affiliate programme
- Pottery Barn, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma (via Rakuten)
- Brooklinen Affiliate programme
- Society6 Affiliate programme
- The Sill Affiliate programme
- ShareASale and Awin networks (multiple retailers)
One programme requires a specific phrasing, so here it is: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
How a product earns a spot in a post
Editorial choices come first; commercial considerations follow. A product appears in a post because it suits the room, the budget bracket and the look — not because it offers the highest commission. The workflow looks like this:
- The writer plans the post around a real room, a real budget or a real reader problem.
- Products are pulled from an internal shortlist we maintain. Every shortlisted item is chosen on its own merits — design, build, reviews, returns terms.
- That shortlist is mapped to the post's category and aesthetic. Commission rate is never the deciding factor when two products are otherwise equal.
- Original photography is used wherever possible. Retailer images appear only under the terms of the relevant affiliate programme.
Display ads (Google AdSense)
Once Decor Obsessed is approved for Google AdSense, display ads will appear on post pages only. We will not place ads on:
- This disclosure page
- About
- Contact
- Privacy Policy
- Terms
Specific ads are matched to each visitor by Google's network — we don't review, audit or hand-select which ones you see. To opt out of personalised ads, decline them through the consent banner on your first visit, or manage your preferences via Google Ads Settings.
Things we won't do
- Write a positive review because someone offered free product, payment or a higher commission rate.
- Publish a paid post dressed up to look like editorial — any future sponsored content will carry a clear "Sponsored" tag at the very top.
- Insert affiliate links into About, Contact, Privacy, Terms or this page.
- Click our own ads, or ask you to. Doing so breaks AdSense policy and could shut the account down.
Ways to back the site, no money required
If you'd like to support the work without spending anything: read the posts, share them with anyone they might help, and subscribe to the newsletter. And if you happen to be buying a recommended product anyway, going through one of our affiliate links costs you nothing — and tells us which guides are doing their job.
