Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: March 28, 2026
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), this page discloses our affiliate relationships.
We recommend products based on quality, reviews, and value — not commission rates. We earn a small commission from Amazon when available, but many of our top picks are IKEA, Wayfair, or secondhand because they're genuinely better options. You pay the same price either way.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on our website, in our digital products (City Design Guides, Room Style Lookbooks, Budget Calculators), and in our YouTube video descriptions are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
Our Affiliate Partners
| Program | Status | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Active | 1–4% |
| Target Affiliates | Pending | 1–5% |
| Rugs USA (FlexOffers) | Pending | 7–10% |
How This Affects You
- No extra cost: You pay exactly the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer
- Honest recommendations: We recommend products we believe are the best value regardless of commission. Many of our top recommendations are for IKEA and secondhand items that carry no affiliate commission
- Transparency: Affiliate links are disclosed before product recommendations appear in our digital products and on our website

Non-Affiliate Recommendations
We regularly recommend products and stores where we have no affiliate relationship, including IKEA, local thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, and other secondhand sources. Our goal is to help you design your space affordably — not to maximize affiliate revenue.
