Our standards

Authentic Home Journal aims to make home and domestic life interesting without overstating what a piece can establish. We value clear language, careful distinctions and an honest account of how material is presented.

Accuracy and care

We check factual statements against suitable sources and review wording for clarity and context. Where a piece offers an interpretation or preference, it should read as such rather than as a universal rule. We do not present home content as professional advice for structural, electrical, gas or other safety-critical work.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not as a condition of a commercial arrangement. Sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A partnership does not guarantee a favourable mention.

Corrections and illustrations

If you believe a factual detail needs correction, please write through the Contact page and identify the passage and concern. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; when relevant, they are identified as such and are not evidence of a real room or object.
