Write for us

Honest Design Review welcomes well-shaped ideas about interior design that help readers see a room, its objects and its choices more clearly. We are especially interested in pitches with a distinct angle, a useful reader question and advice that respects different homes and budgets.

Ideas that fit

Pitch an evergreen subject connected to layouts, furniture, colour, lighting or materials. Strong proposals have a clear point, explain why it matters and leave room for more than one taste or way of living. We welcome explainers, comparisons, histories and carefully framed guides that readers can use without expensive purchases.

What to send

Use the Contact page to propose an idea. Include a working title, a short summary of the central argument, the intended reader and a few lines about your relevant approach to the subject. Please say whether the proposal has been sent elsewhere and disclose any relevant commercial interests.

Editorial process

A proposal is not a promise of publication. We may ask questions, suggest a narrower focus or request changes for clarity and accuracy. Contributors should avoid unsupported claims, copied material and advice that calls for hazardous work or specialist judgement. Any agreed terms and attribution are settled before work begins.
