Commercial transparency
Affiliate Disclosure
The Cozy Dwelling may earn commissions from qualifying purchases. This page explains how those links work and how we keep editorial choices separate from compensation.
Effective date: September 24, 2026. Commercial relationships and retailer terms may change over time.
How The Site Is Funded
The Cozy Dwelling may earn commissions when readers use certain product links and complete a qualifying purchase. Those commissions support research, writing, image licensing, hosting, security, and the time required to maintain a useful editorial library.
How We Choose What To Cover
We begin with a reader problem: a room that is hard to arrange, a material that needs frequent care, a storage system that fails during the week, or a purchase that creates more work than expected. The article is built around the decision criteria that matter in that situation.
We organize recommendations by use case, room constraints, material, maintenance, and tradeoff. Commission rates do not determine the order of product categories or the drawbacks we mention.
No Invented Testing
Unless an article explicitly states that a member of our team used a product, recommendations are based on published product information, manufacturer documentation, retailer specifications, and practical comparison criteria. We do not create fake hands-on claims, measurements, ratings, or review counts.
Affiliate Link Labeling
Commercial links open in a new tab and use sponsored and nofollow relationship attributes. A disclosure appears before the first commercial call to action in each buying guide. Internal links and ordinary editorial resources are not affiliate links.
Prices And Availability
Prices, promotions, shipping terms, stock, and product specifications change quickly. We generally link to a current retailer search rather than publishing a price that may become outdated. The retailer controls the final transaction, return terms, and product information.
If a link no longer leads to a relevant product category, send the page URL to hello@thecozydwelling.com so it can be reviewed.
Editorial Questions
Questions about our commercial model or a specific recommendation can be sent to hello@thecozydwelling.com. Include the article URL and the detail you want us to review.
