By using Every Room Better, you agree to these Terms of Use. Every Room Better publishes general interior-design information, practical guidance and editorial opinion for ordinary readers. The site does not provide professional, project-specific design, architectural, engineering, contracting or other licensed services.
Terms for using Every Room Better
Structural work, electrical work, plumbing work and gas work require an appropriately licensed contractor. Nothing published on Every Room Better is an instruction or recommendation for you to attempt regulated, hazardous or licensed work personally. Always use an appropriately licensed contractor where the work requires one.
-
General information only
Content on Every Room Better is provided for general information and opinion. Articles may discuss interior styles, rooms, decorating, layouts, paint, lighting, flooring, renovation, DIY projects, storage, staging and related subjects. This information is not a substitute for advice from a qualified interior designer, architect, engineer, contractor or other professional who can inspect your particular property, products and circumstances.
-
Colors, dimensions and product verification
We aim to make colors specific and dimensions useful, but published values remain guidance. Hex codes, digital swatches and paint references can appear different on screens and under different lighting conditions. Always check the actual paint, finish, material or product in the room before purchasing or installing it.
Room dimensions, furniture sizes, spacing recommendations and clearances must also be verified against the actual room and the actual product. Product specifications can change, and a dimension found online may not be suitable for your space.
-
Measuring and installation responsibility
You are responsible for taking accurate measurements and checking product specifications before purchasing, ordering, cutting, drilling, fixing or installing anything. Consider doors, windows, trim, utilities, access routes and other site-specific conditions that may affect whether a product or layout will work in your room.
-
Contractors and regulated work
Articles may explain renovation concepts or help readers understand questions to discuss with professionals. They do not authorize or instruct readers to carry out structural, electrical, plumbing or gas work themselves. Work requiring professional qualifications, licensing or specialist safety procedures should be handled by an appropriately licensed contractor.
-
Permits and local requirements
Building codes, permits, inspections and contractor requirements vary by state, county and city. You are responsible for checking the rules that apply to your property and project before work begins. Information on Every Room Better should not be treated as confirmation that a particular project is permitted in your location.

Every Room Better may use affiliate links and may earn a commission when a qualifying purchase is made through certain links.
