Independent Publication
InteriorTales is independently operated. Published articles are reviewed and approved by the named human author.
Authorship
Gulden is the current named editor and writer. InteriorTales does not assign articles to fictional authors. A byline means the named person reviewed the article and accepted editorial responsibility for its publication.
Research Standards
Depending on the subject, research may include manufacturer specifications, official care and assembly documents, retailer terms and return policies, reputable expert or safety sources, product comparisons, and current pricing and availability checks. Sources must support the claim for which they are used; links are not added merely for search visibility.
First-hand and Research-based Content
We use clear methodology labels: Hands-on tested, Used in a real project, or Research-based guide. “Tested” is used only when the named author actually used or inspected the product. Research-based guides are not presented as personal product tests.
Corrections and Review Dates
Substantive errors are corrected clearly, and meaningful corrections may receive a visible note. “Last reviewed” dates represent a real human review, not an automated template or styling change. To report an error, email editorial@interiortales.com or use the Contact page.
Affiliate Independence
Affiliate commission does not determine inclusion, ranking or positive conclusions. Sponsored or gifted products require explicit article-level labeling. See the Affiliate Disclosure.
AI-assisted Tools
InteriorTales may use software and AI-assisted tools to organize research, develop outlines, proofread drafts or support visual production. Every published article is reviewed and approved by the named human author. InteriorTales does not publish unreviewed automated content or attribute articles to fictitious authors.
Image Policy
Images may include original photography, licensed stock, manufacturer-supplied material, or AI-generated or AI-assisted visuals. The source and nature of an image should not be misrepresented, and generated or licensed imagery is not described as original photography.
